Origin & Dev Church of Central Africa Presbyterian in Zambia 1882-2004

This study deals with the origin and developments leading to the formation of the CCAP Synod in Zambia 1882-2004. Above all it is an in-depth ecclesiological analysis and evaluation of the Livingstonia Mission from 1882-2004. The study was motivated by the need to contribute to the Church a proper historical record of the CCAP in Zambia. It is the first attempt to examine, scrutinize and chronologically write about the Livingstonia MIssion's activities in Zambia up to the birth of the CCAP Synod of Zambia in 1984. Historically the spread of the gospel from Scotland via Malawi into Northern Rhodesia revolved primarily around a particular congregation or around ethnic communities with multiple congregations. The church union negotiations in Central Africa from 1923-1965 are one of the major subjects under discussion.
