PCUSA mission fields in orange include the countries of the Levant, along with Iraq, Iran, and India. United Presbyterian mission fields in red include Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. The shared mission field in Pakistan is in blue. The image conveys the imperial and sectarian nature of American missionary work.
