	CHURCH, STATE AND SOCIETY IN MALAWI: The Anglican Case James Tengatenga “If only the church would keep out of politics”, sighs the politician. And he also says “the church is doing a great job in development” (and “if only they would stick to that”… he sometimes thinks). But without the church, the state called Malawi would not be here in that form, and was it not the Roman Catholic Lenten Pastoral Letter of 1992, which triggered off the change of democracy? How come that the Anglican Church at the very beginning involved itself in “war for the defence of the oppressed”, was sometimes seen as the “church of the government”, and when the Catholic Bishops had shown the way, helped to dismantle dictatorship? James Tengatenga, as a serving Bishop, tells it all (or at least, much of it), as a insider of the system, and a critical one for that. ISBN 99908-76-51-7, Kachere Theses no. 13, 223 pp. 2006

	WOMEN OF BIBLE AND CULTURE: Baptist Convention Women In Southern Malawi Rachel NyaGondwe Fiedler We have all heard much – and probably too much – about the oppression of women. Oppressed as they may be, they are carving out their space. This book argues that being Baptist gives women increased chances to define the space they live in, since Baptist polity and doctrine with its congregational independence and limited centralized organization creates room for local innovation. The first chapters concentrate on the history of Baptist women in Southern Malawi, whole the last chapter shows how they deal with marriage. Baptist women love the Bible, they are daughters of their cultures, too and they use both to define their space. ISBN: 99908-76-02-9, 323pp. Kachere Theses no. 7, 2005

	THE CHURCH HISTORY OF PROVIDENCE INDUSTRIAL MISSION Patrick Makondesa For a long time the History of John Chilembwe and the Providence Industrial Mission has been very much associated with political history due to the uprising of 1915. But for fourteen years Chilembwe had been a Missionary and a Pastor, as much as his successor Dr. Daniel Malekebu who revived the mission after it was destroyed and closed by the colonial government I 1915. The Author makes the point that the digging out of the historical reality on the religious activities of the Providence Industrial Mission paves the way to a better understanding of its history.

	THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE OFFICES ACCORDING TO THE PRESBYTERIAN TRADITION OF SCOTLAND Jurgens Johannes van Wyk Every human organization needs a leadership structure, churches being no exception, The Reformed and Presbyterian churches, now quite prominent in South and Central Africa, all originate from Switzerland, but came to Africa vial The Netherlands or Scotland and provides therefore useful food for thought on the sometimes burning issues of how African churches can organize their leadership.

	MINISTERS AND ELDERS Steven Paas Jesus Christ is King of God's Church. However, who governs the Church under Him? How is the Church to be ruled? How do these questions relate to the Word of God? The present book does not offer final answers to these questions, but tries to throw light on the historical context. The book has resulted from a research of the beginning of the history of Presbyterian church-rule. It focuses on the Elizabethan era of the English Church, when Presbyterianism emerged as a reaction against autocratic one-man-rule on the one hand, and against 'radical' conceptions of rule-by-many on the other hand. Instead of these two extremes, Presbyterians liked the idea of church-rule by limited groups of office-bearers. Their adage was: 'a few of the best rule the rest'.

	A CONFLICT ON AUTHORITY IN THE EARLY AFRICAN CHURCH: Augustine Of Hippo And The Donatists Steven Paas. The ancient Church of North Africa still captures the imagination of many modern people. We also wonder about its rapid original growth. We also wonder about the internal quarrels and schisms that contributed to its almost complete eradication. For more than a hundred years the North African Church was divided by the Donatist question. The bone of contention was the issue of authority and power of the office-bearers. Do church leaders derive their authority from their own characteristics or moral qualities? Does the Church depend on the holiness of its office-bearers? The Donatists thought so. And so do their followers of today, even in Africa. In this study the Donatists’ opinions are compared to views of some early African Church Fathers, especially Augustine. ISBN: 99908-76-07-X, 68pp. Kachere Texts no. 19, 2005

	A CONFLICT ON THE CHURCH AND THE SACRAMENT: How Rome And The Reformation Differed At Regensburg In 1541 Steven Paas According to popular thought, it was the doctrine of Justification the divided Rome and the Reformation in the 16th century. However, in a wider theological concept the real breaking point was not the doctrine of Justification, but the issue of Church and Sacraments. The author drew this conclusion from his study of the last dramatic meeting between representatives of Rome and the Reformation in the German city of Regensburg in the year 1541. The issue of Church and Sacraments has remained important, also in the African context. Theology in African perspective needs an Ecclesiology which rests in Scripture and which therefore is significant to the specific features of African culture. May this representation of the thoughts developed by the participants of the Regensburg Disputation in 1541, be Helpful in today's discussion. ISBN 99908-76-60-6, Kachere Text no. 26, 41 pp. 2005

	"AFRICA FOR THE AFRICAN": The Life Of Joseph Booth Harry Langworthy Without Joseph Booth, the pacifist, the armed Chilembwe Rising of 1915 would not have been possible.

	T. CULLEN YOUNG: Missionary And Anthropologist Peter G. Forster This study of T. Cullen Young, in no way a 'missionary biography' of the older kind, attempts to provide an overall vision of 'the man and his work' by exploring the often neglected areas of common interest shared by both missionaries and anthropologists. To a far greater extent than other expatriates, many missionaries developed a keen interest in African languages and cultures. T. Cullen Young's studies of the Tumbuka for long provided the only published record of the ethnography and history of northern Malawi: and his concern with 'African culture' has had political implications in both the pre- and post-Independence situation. Cullen Young's relationship with Hastings Kamuzu Banda as a schoolboy and their subsequent collaborative work has a fascination of its own.

	FACE TO FACE WITH MY LIFE Orison Mkandawire Malawi’s history would be much the poorer without Livingstonia and its “products”, who have played memorable parts in the history of the nation (and of neighbouring nations, too).

He first wrote the life-history of his father, Chiswakhata Mkandawire of Livingstonia (Kachere Text no. 11, 2002), and he now looks back at his own life, reflecting on the Livingstonia background he comes from and on the contributions he ahs made to life, be it private or public, professional or political.
