dc.description.abstractThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the evangelising methods of the Montfort Missionaries and the Missionaries of Africa in Malawi. Evangelisation is a wide topic, therefore I intend to limit my analysis to their contribution in areas of Catechetical Approach, Peace and Justice and Inculturation. This will give guidelines and recommendations for the future and effective evangelisation of the country. The choice of this thesis is dictated by the pastoral situation in which the Catholic Church in Malawi is. In the first place, the Missionaries of Africa were the first Roman Catholic missionaries to bring the good news to Malawi in 1889. Twelve years later, in 1901, the Montfort Missionaries arrived in Malawi at the invitation of the Missionaries of Africa to work with them as auxiliaries. In their agreement the Montfort Missionaries were to work under the jurisdiction of the Vicar Apostolic of Nyasa who happened to be a Missionary of Africa. The two missionary groups had different ways of approaching evangelisation. After some time working together, rivalry between them necessitated the creation of another vicariate in the south. This took effect on the 3'd of December 1903 and the new vicariate was named Shire Vicariate with Rev. Fr. Auguste Prezeau as its prefect apostolic. This new vicariate was then entrusted to the care of the Montfort Missionaries. The importance of this study cannot be underestimated, as it will highlight the differences in their approach to evangelisation. This study will also serve as a guide for evaluation of the past, present and future of missionary evangelisation in Malawi. Historically the church in Malawi will celebrate the first centenary of existence in the year 2001. Therefore this study is timely and very important.en_US
