Church of Central Africa Presbyterian

The Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) is a Presbyterian denomination. It consists of five synods: one in Zambia (Zambia Synod), one in Zimbabwe (Harare Synod) and three in MalawiLivingstonia Synod in the north of the country, Nkhoma Synod in the centre, and Blantyre Synod in the south.
The CCAP is the largest Protestant denomination in Malawi.〔Patrick Johnstone and Jason Mandryk, ''Operation World: 21st Century Edition'' (Paternoster, 2001), (p. 419 ).〕
==History==
Following the arrival of David Livingstone, Scottish Presbyterian churches established missions in Malawi. In 1875, the Free Church of Scotland established itself in northern Malawi with headquarters in Livingstonia, while in 1876 the Church of Scotland set up a mission in Blantyre. In 1889 the Cape Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa began work in central Malawi. Initially its base was Mvera, but it later relocated to Nkhoma.〔(Overview of the worldwide reformed church: Malawi (Africa) )〕 These three missions were the start of the three CCAP synods in Malawi.
In 1911 the Livingstonia and Blantyre Synods agreed to join together to form the CCAP〔T. Jack Thompson, ''Christianity in Northern Malaŵi: Donald Fraser's missionary methods and Ngoni culture'', BRILL, 1995, ISBN 90-04-10208-6, (pp. 211–213. )〕 although, because of World War I, this union did not take place until 17 September 1924.〔 The CCAP at that time had 28 ministers (about half of whom were African) and 32 elders (almost all of whom were African).〔
In 1926, the formerly Dutch Reformed Nkhoma Synod joined the CCAP.〔Robert Benedetto and Donald K. McKim, ''Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches'', 2nd ed, Scarecrow Press, 2010, ISBN 0-8108-5807-X, (p. 443. )〕 The Harare Synod joined in 1965,〔(Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) - Harare Synod )〕 while the Lundazi Synod (now called the Zambia Synod) joined in 1984.〔(Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) - Zambia Synod )〕
In 1993, the Blantyre Synod issued a statement which acknowledged historically close ties with the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) so that "the church gradually lost its ability to admonish or speak pastorally to the government"〔Paul Gifford, ''The Christian Churches and the Democratisation of Africa'', BRILL, 1995, ISBN 90-04-10324-4, (p. 103. )〕 and indicated that they did "not want to make the same mistake at this time in order to ensure that the church retains its prophetic voice throughout the coming years of our country’s history."〔
In 1998, some Charismatic members split from the CCAP to form the Presbyterian Church of Malawi (PCM).〔Rhodian G. Munyenyembe, ''Christianity and Socio-cultural Issues: The Charismatic Movement and Contextualization of the Gospel in Malawi'', African Books Collective, 2011, ISBN 99908-87-52-7, (p. 6. )〕
The CCAP entered into a high profile public feud with Malawian Second Vice President Chakufwa Chihana in 2004 after Chihana told the church not to "meddle" in politics.
