The Church of Central Africa Presbyterian – Blantyre Synod is a synod of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian, located in southern Malawi. It was founded by Church of Scotland missionaries in 1876.
History
Blantyre Synod started as a mission of the Church of Scotland. The first missionary was Henry Henderson accompanied by a freed slave. He chose a mission ground suggested by David Livingstone. The Blantyre Mission was founded in 1876, with a church and school. It became a refuge for slaves.[1] The number of Christians grew, and in 1891 the St Michael and All Angels Church was dedicated.[2]
In the late 1920s, responsibility for the church shifted from Scottish missionaries to African leaders.[3]
