Notes for Rosa Thelma Chandler
My Autobiography in Scripture: Thelma Chandler Moorhead
By Meggan Moorhead, filmmaker and project director
Thelma Chandler Moorhead lived the Scripture—Love your enemy—as she arrived in Japan during the American occupation after World War II. The Southern Baptist Convention questioned her commitment to serve the enemy rather than go to China. In this documentary she tells her story of pacifism and feminism. She speaks with fire and humor, humility and certainty.
Thelma is an example of a Southern girl, born into poverty and family tragedy, who heard God speaking directly to her. With absolutely nothing but faith and trust, she walked the way of her calling, a woman who exemplifies the spiritual life of the white South in the 1920s and 1930s and its drumbeat call to missions. Thelma is not alone, but is one of thousands of missionary women who expressed their spiritual life by working in foreign countries. She was neither awarded nor rewarded in any extraordinary way.
The filmmaker and project director is Moorhead’s daughter, Meggan Moorhead, Ed.D., a psychologist in practice in Durham, North Carolina.
