AbstractPossibly the most outstanding Malawian church leader of the 1960s and 1970s was the Very Reverend Jonathan Sangaya, General Secretary of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) Synod of Blantyre. To him fell the task of guiding his church into the post-missionary era and his dynamic leadership was a major factor in the success with which that transition was completed. This vivid biography offers many insights into the history of the church and society during his lifetime. It is a welcome addition to the literature covering the transition “from mission to church" in African Christianity, and will enable many readers to become acquainted with a great Malawian of a former generation.

AbstractA remarkable series of letters that offer an insight into the life and experience of a missionary couple in the lakeshore area of Chintheche during the 1920s. In particular, the critical observations of Mamie Martin reveal the perspective of an independently minded woman within the Livingstonia Mission during this period. The letters were discovered in the 1990s by Mamie’s daughter who was inspired to edit them for publication as a book. [Kenneth R. Ross and Joyce Mlenga]
