EDITORS COMMENTS
Mission Station under Construction, Chididi, Nyasaland (now Malawi), circa 1910s: A snapshot of the past as the Mission Station takes shape in Chididi, Nyasaland (now Malawi), during the 1910s. This photograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in the region's history as the British Central Africa Protectorate's evangelical missionaries worked tirelessly to spread the message of Christianity among the local African population. The image showcases the dedication and determination of the missionaries as they construct the brick walls of the Mission Station. The intricate brickwork, with its uniformly laid bricks, stands as a testament to their engineering skills and their commitment to building a permanent structure that would serve as a beacon of faith and hope for the community. The Mission Station, with its tall, imposing walls, stands in stark contrast to the lush, green landscape of Chididi. The trees, with their trunks reaching towards the sky, provide a natural backdrop to the man-made structure, highlighting the delicate balance between the traditional and the modern. The African people, dressed in their native attire, are seen observing the construction progress from a distance. Their presence underscores the importance of the Mission Station as a bridge between two worlds, a place where the old and the new could coexist and learn from each other. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the missionaries and the local people during a time of significant change. It serves as a poignant reminder of the role that religious institutions played in shaping the cultural and social fabric of colonial Africa.
