  • George Nathanael Anderson (August 8, 1883 – October 8, 1958) was an American Lutheran pastor and missionary to Tanganyika. Anderson studied at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas and the before being ordained by the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church in 1912. He held a succession of posts in the American Mid West before volunteering for missionary service. Anderson was sent to the British colony of Tanganyika in 1924 to review the situation there. As a former German colony the territory had hosted missions of the German Lutheran Church but these were expelled in 1917 during the First World War. Anderson reported favourably and a formal Augustana Church mission was sent in 1926, with Anderson at its head. Anderson oversaw the expansion of the church's role in the territory and in 1944 was appointed President and director of its General Administrative Committee, becoming responsible for the church's entire operation in Tanganyika. He retired in 1956 and died in the United States two years later. (en)
