Grace James did her training with the BCMS and went out to Hong Kong in 1933 to help Mildred Dibden and Barbara Lomas with the BCMS Children’s Home at Taipo.

Grace was an excellent teacher who in 1938 became Vice-Principal of Dalton House, the BCMS Training College for Women in Bristol.

She later married Rev R J Mulrenan, another BCMS missionary and served with him in Kwangan in West China, when during the bombing of Kwangan in the Civil War in 1940, they narrowly escaped death.  They were temporarily moved to Kwanyinko for their safety.  They left for furlough in 1944,  returning to Kwangan in 1946.   

They came back from China to a parish in the UK.
