}}J. S. M. Hooper[3] was the first General Secretary of the Bible Society of India since its creation in on 1 November[4] 1944.[5] Hooper was also involved in translations of the Bible Society of India.[6]

Contribution

Archana Venkatesan,[7] Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley in an English version of Nammalwar's A Hundred Measures of Time: Tiruviruttam has referred to a publication of J. S. M. Hooper in 1929 titled Hymns of the Alvars and has devoted a lengthy footnote[8] on the life and times of Hooper, especially the period when he came to India, his contribution to the ecumenical efforts resulting in the formation of the Church of South India and to the Bible Society of India. Archana also writes that Hooper worked closely with Lesslie Newbigin and V. S. Azariah, both of whom were pioneers in the ecumenical efforts[8] towards the formation of the Church of South India.

Education

After education at the Corpus Christi College, Oxford leading to both B. A. and M. A.,[1] Hooper came to India in 1905 and stayed in Chennai serving as a Pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church.[7] In 1930, Hooper served as Headmaster of the Wesley Higher Secondary School.[2]

Ecumenism

As a Wesleyan, Hooper was involved[9] in the negotiations with the Anglicans and other Protestant congregations towards working forward towards ecumenism[21] which ultimately resulted in the formation of the Church of South India in 1947 at the St. George's Cathedral, Chennai.

Translations of the Bible into the languages of India

Hooper became the first[4] General Secretary of the British and Foreign Bible Society in India in 1932[10] and continued till 1944.[10] When the Bible Society of India was formed on 1 November 1944,[4] Hooper became the first general secretary and held the position from 1944 until 1947.[5]
