“…For instance, Fiedler, though he is a Christian expatriate in Malawi, has not made any reference to how Edinburgh 1910 impacted on churches in Malawi. Both Stanley (2006;2008) and Ross (2006; have referred to how Malawian missionaries contributed to Edinburgh 1910, but they have not explained the extent to which the conference contributed to the growth and development of the Christian churches in Malawi and why Malawians should remember the conference. It is against this background that this paper intends to interrogate whether Christians in Malawi see the value of remembering this historic conference held thousands of kilometres away from them.…”

This paper interrogates why the Edinburgh 1910 International MissionaryConference needs to be remembered in Malawi. In 2010 Malawian Christian churches joined the Christian community across the globe, celebrating the International Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in 1910. Christian churches across the country wanted to conduct services of worship in major cities in memory of this conference. Often we celebrate something that has a direct impact on our lives. However, considering the fact that the conference was disproportionately represented by Western churches, the intriguing question is why it should be remembered in Malawi and in Africa. What impact does it have on the Christian churches in Malawi? While church historians have written on the impact of the Edinburgh 1910 International Missionary Conference in perspective of its ecumenical contribution to the Christendom, there is a scarcity of literature to explain whether the Christians in Malawi see the value of celebrating this historic conference held thousands of kilometres away from them.

“…Edinburgh 1910, as noted by many historians, was not the first international missionary conference to be held within Protestant circles; it was the third conference in succession (Fiedler 2010;Ross 2006;Stanley 2006). It came after the London and New York conferences of 1888 and 1900 respectively (Stanley 2006).…”

While church historians have written on the impact of the Edinburgh 1910 International Missionary Conference in perspective of its ecumenical contribution to the Christendom, there is a scarcity of literature to explain whether the Christians in Malawi see the value of celebrating this historic conference held thousands of kilometres away from them. From the methodological perspective, the paper relies on archives, interviews and church records available in Malawi.
