About this Product
"Studies on the history of the Blantyre Mission in Malawi often suggest that 1881 marked a turning point in the missions tradition, following a crisis triggered by a series of scandals that resulted in the dismissal of its top leadership. Kenneth Ross challenges this interpretation, arguing that while a crisis did occur, it did not significantly disrupt the missions work. Ross maintains that there was a strong element of continuity between the earlier and later phases of the mission, largely sustained by African missionaries trained for the work, a core group of dedicated missionary personnel, and female staff who played a vital role in maintaining the Missions stability. Through a thorough and detailed examination of archival records, Rosss work offers a fresh and deeper understanding of the Blantyre Mission and its enduring influence - insights that previous accounts have not fully captured." Gift Wasambo Kayira, Head of the Department of History, Archaelogy and Heritage Studies, University of Malawi.
"In this book Kenneth Ross enables readers to step into the footsteps of our ancestors and to closely experience the travails they endured. From this treasure trove we can discover where we are coming from, where we are, and where we want to be tomorrow. As Blantyre Synod marks its 150th anniversary in 2026, I commend this volume to all Presbyterians and to all who cherish our Malawian history". Anderson Lovemore Jester Juma Chulu, General Secretary, CCAP Blantyre Synod.
