Religion in Zambia
== Christianity ==
Zambia is officially a Christian nation according to the 1996 constitution,〔http://www.scribd.com/doc/3713564/Constitution-of-Zambia-1991Amended-to-1996〕 but a wide variety of religious traditions exist. Traditional religious thought blends easily with Christian beliefs in many of the country's syncretic churches. Christian denominations include: Presbyterianism, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Pentecostal, New Apostolic Church, Lutheran, Seventh-day Adventist, Jehovah's Witnesses, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Branhamism, and a variety of Evangelical denominations. These grew, adjusted and prospered from the original missionary settlements (Portuguese and Catholicism in the east from Mozambique) and Anglicanism (English and Scottish influences) from the south. Except for some technical positions (e.g. physicians), western missionary roles have been assumed by native believers. After Frederick Chiluba (a Pentecostal Christian) became President in 1991, Pentecostal congregations expanded considerably around the country.
Zambian-born archbishop Emmanuel Milingo was a retired bishop until he left to marry Maria Sung, a 43-year-old Korean acupuncturist, at a ceremony officiated by controversial Unification Church founder Rev. Sun Myung Moon in New York (May, 2001). He was excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church in September, 2006 for conducting a consecration of 4 married men as bishops.
