Extractions: Topography Economy History People Before 1498, when the first Portuguese arrived in what would later become Mozambique, coastal East Africa was occupied by Arabs who lived in the so-called Zenj (black) city-states. The Arabs were soon displaced, and for the next century Portugal dominated parts of the region, until Portugals economy weakened to the point that it could retain only some of the coastal cities. The Portuguese explored the interior of Mozambique in the 16th century, encountering many agricultural Bantu-speaking peoples but finding little wealth. By the 17th century, the Portuguese slave trade had destroyed the Mutapu Empire, the most powerful Bantu state in the area. It was not until 1975 that the people of Mozambique gained independence from the Portuguese.

Ross African theologies that relate Christian faith to traditional culture have not really influenced the life of African churches. This is because these theologies have often ignored the concrete circumstances of the believing communities. The history of Chris tian communities in Africa could be used as a source for doing theology. The author uses four 'moments of truth' in the life of the Blantyre Synod of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP), to show how the ecclesiology of this Malawian church developed through its response to these crises. The crises are 1) the imposition of colonial rule in the 1890s; 2) the Chilembwe Rising of 1915; 3) the formation of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in the 1950s; and 4) the breaking of the Banda dictatorship in the 1990s. This offers African theologians much promising material for 'drinking from their own wells' in theological construction. INTRODUCTION Doing theology in Africa has been, for the last generation, predominantly a matter of relating Christian faith and traditional culture. The premise has been that African Christian identity will be secured only when the faith is interpreted in terms of traditional cultural categories. The task to which academic theo logians have applied themselves has been, accordingly, to show how the message of Jesus Christ has resonance within the categories of a traditional African worldview. A formidable body of scholarship has been built up as theologians in different parts of the continent have sought to fulfil this task.
