Montfortians in Malawi

A common misconception found in popular, and even some scholarly,
literature is that “the missionaries” are a homogeneous category about
whom it is easy to make broad generalisations. When a more accurate
appraisal of the role of missionaries in Malawi and elsewhere will be
reached when each partiular missionary initiative is subjected to
critial study. This work fills a gap in our knowledge of the Catholic
missions since it is the viewpoint of the White Fathers which
predominates in the seminal work of K. and J. Linden, Catholics, Peasants, and Chewa Resistance in Nyasaland 1889-1939. 
It intends to identify, assess, and evaluate the Montfortian
spirituality and charism by examining, as far as possible within the
context of their times, the lives and works of the three Montfortian
pioneers in Malawi and their successors.
