Zambia
Scottish links with what is now Zambia go back to the
19th century when many people responded to David Livingstone's
call for people to go Africa to end slavery through Christianity
and commerce. The Church of Scotland was one of seven
churches that joined together in 1965 to form the United
Church of Zambia and UCZ remains our partner church.
UCZ's 18 presbyteries cover the whole of this landlocked
country. In addition to traditional parish activities
UCZ runs schools and colleges, a theological seminary,
vocational training programmes, hospitals, poverty mitigation
projects and promotes Christian and theological education
of lay people - especially important in a church of
850,000 members in over 1,200 congregations that is
largely led by lay people.
