1914
Kuyper sparked a controversy in his own circles when he published his ideas about missions in De Heraut and De Standaard. The controversy prompted Dr. B.J. Esser to publish a brochure entitled De Goddelijke leiding in de zending (Rotterdam, [August] 1914). After the military and administrative efforts of J.B. van Heutsz (1851–1924) and H. Colijn (1869–1944), the so-called “Buitenbezittingen” in the Dutch East Indies were finally pacified. (All the islands of the archipelago of the Dutch East Indies that did not belong to Java and Madura were called the Buitenbezittingen.) Kuyper believed the churches should now conduct missions in those territories, especially before Islam took over the field. Esser criticized him for purportedly favoring these new territories over established missionary posts on the island of Java. In this letter to the editor, Kuyper argued that he had intended no such thing and did not consider the weakening of missions on Java to be a necessary consequence of his proposal.
In an asterism in De Standaard, no. 13013, September 12, 1914 (reprinted in De Bazuin, no. 39, September 25, 1914), Kuyper had already made a short, clear statement about his proposal. He rounded off this discussion with a short commentary in De Heraut (no. 1919, November 1, 1914), by which he intended to mitigate the controversy. On November 5, 1914, Kuyper submitted the ideas he had voiced in this letter to the Synod of The Hague.
