Extractions: PEOPLE Malawi derives its name from the Maravi, a Bantu people who came from the southern Congo about 600 years ago. On reaching the area north of Lake Malawi, the Maravi divided. One branch, the ancestors of the present-day Chewas, moved south to the west bank of the lake. The other, the ancestors of the Nyanjas, moved down the east bank to the southern part of the country. By AD 1500, the two divisions of the tribe had established a kingdom stretching from north of the present-day city of Nkhotakota to the Zambezi River in the south, and from Lake Malawi in the east, to the Luangwa River in Zambia in the west. Migrations and tribal conflicts precluded the formation of a cohesive Malawian society until the turn of the 20th century. In more recent years, ethnic and tribal distinctions have diminished. Regional distinctions and rivalries, however, persist. Despite some clear differences, no significant friction currently exists between tribal groups, and the concept of a Malawian nationality has begun to take hold. Predominately a rural people, Malawians are generally conservative and traditionally nonviolent. The Chewas constitute 90% of the population of the central region; the Nyanja tribe predominates in the south and the Tumbuka in the north. In addition, significant numbers of the Tongas live in the north; Ngonisan offshoot of the Zulus who came from South Africa in the early 1800slive in the lower northern and lower central regions; and the Yao, who are mostly Muslim, live along the southeastern border with Mozambique.

Climate The Lakeshore areas have a low rainfall, and a warm relaxing climate, which mean daily temperatures ranging from 29deg C in January to 21 deg C in July. The highland areas (such as Zomba Mountain) have greater temperatures changes, and the air is bracing. The nights can be cold. The dry season is between May and October, with rain intermittent during the remaining months but particularly between December and March. However, there is always ample sunshine at the Lakeshore. Malawi is a landlocked Country with varying terrain across it.

Ross African theologies that relate Christian faith to traditional culture have not really influenced the life of African churches. This is because these theologies have often ignored the concrete circumstances of the believing communities. The history of Chris tian communities in Africa could be used as a source for doing theology. The author uses four 'moments of truth' in the life of the Blantyre Synod of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP), to show how the ecclesiology of this Malawian church developed through its response to these crises. The crises are 1) the imposition of colonial rule in the 1890s; 2) the Chilembwe Rising of 1915; 3) the formation of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in the 1950s; and 4) the breaking of the Banda dictatorship in the 1990s. This offers African theologians much promising material for 'drinking from their own wells' in theological construction. INTRODUCTION Doing theology in Africa has been, for the last generation, predominantly a matter of relating Christian faith and traditional culture. The premise has been that African Christian identity will be secured only when the faith is interpreted in terms of traditional cultural categories. The task to which academic theo logians have applied themselves has been, accordingly, to show how the message of Jesus Christ has resonance within the categories of a traditional African worldview. A formidable body of scholarship has been built up as theologians in different parts of the continent have sought to fulfil this task.

Extractions: The Martial Spirit: Nyasaland (Malawi) Soldiers in British Service during Peace, 1895-1939 by Risto Marjomaa, University of Helsinki The aim of this article is to look at the changing military identity and social status of the Yao people who became the main source of recruits for the British colonial army in Nyasaland (modern Malawi) between 18951939. Although the chosen timeframe includes a global war, the First World War (191418), the war itself shall only be dealt in passing while the focus is in peacetime military organisation before and after this cataclysmic event. The experiences of the thousands of Malawians recruited to fight in the Great War have been intentionally left aside. From the point of view of motivation, status, identity and the soldiers life in general there is a world of difference between an individual who is recruited to fight in a war and one who seeks peace time employment to maintain himself and his family. Although the subject of this paper is the peacetime colonial army, this does not mean it would not have seen occasional fighting against Africans resisting colonial rule. However, while this fighting was undoubtedly quite as real war as was the First World War to those who participated in it, it did not affect the general framework in which the soldiers operated. Nyasaland colonial troops formed a small community of a few hundred soldiers and their families who regarded barrack life as a part of their normal every day existence. On the other hand, those who took part in the World War, sometimes the same individuals, did not see themselves as living an ordinary life, but were mostly longing for the day the war would end and they could all go home. The framework of this paper is the peacetime colonial army as a place of employment.
