The Church Mission Society (CMS), formerly known as the Church Missionary Society,[1] is a British Anglican mission society working with Christians around the world. Founded in 1799,[2][3] CMS has attracted over nine thousand men and women to serve as mission partners during its 200-year history. The society has also given its name "CMS" to a number of daughter organisations around the world, including Australia and New Zealand, which have now become independent.
