It explores the church's aim to establish a sustainable local church community, the difficulties and opposition encountered, the amalgamation of the Catholic Church in Zambia into the international movement, and the Pope's visit in 1989. The author of this book went to Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1958 and worked as a White Father missionary in the Northern and Central Provinces. He has made a wider academic contribution in the research and documentation of theology and religious-cultural studies, in Zambia, of which this publication is a further example.History of the Catholic Church in Zambia 1895-1995 - H.
