Description: Possibly the outstanding Malawian church leader of the 1960s and 1970s was the Very Reverend Jonathan Sangaya, General Secretary of the 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 enables the reader to appreciate the remarkable qualities of Sangaya and offers many insights into the history of church and society during his lifetime.

It is a book which will be a welcome addition to the literature on 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.
