Bishop Abel Tendekayi Muzorewa (14 April 1925 – 8 April 2010〔() 〕) served as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe Rhodesia from the Internal Settlement to the Lancaster House Agreement in 1979. A Methodist bishop and nationalist leader, he held office for only a few months. ==Early life== Muzorewa was the eldest of a lay preacher's eight children and was educated at the United Methodist School, Old Umtali (near Mutare). He was a school teacher at Mrewa between 1943 and 1947 before becoming a full-time lay preacher at Mtoko between 1947 and 1949. He then studied theology at Old Umtali Biblical College (1949–1952) and was ordained as a Minister at Umtali in August 1953. He was a pastor at Chiduku, near Rusape, from 1955 to 1958. He attended Central College in Fayette, Missouri (later Central Methodist College), living with his wife and three sons in student prefabricated housing. His sons attended a segregated school. His youngest son Wesley and playmate Mark Elrod (son of the college Librarian J. McRee Elrod) attempted to integrate the ice cream counter of the local drug store, but were turned away. When Rev. Elrod took Rev. Musorewa to Visit Scarritt College in Nashville Tennessee, they too were turned away from an eating facility, an incident he mentions in his autobiography. He obtained an M.A. from Scarritt College (now a conference center). In July 1963, Muzorewa became pastor of Old Umtali. A year later he was appointed National Director of the Christian Youth Movement and was seconded to the Christian Council. In 1966, he became Secretary of the Student Christian Movement. In 1968, at Masera in Botswana, he was consecrated as the United Methodist Church's Bishop of Rhodesia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abel Muzorewa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
