Malawi is full of surprises for the first time visitor. Theologian
Rodney Schofield and his wife Sarah Schofield in this book document
their experiences of missionary life in Malawi.
An Anglican priest, missionary and theologian who was involved in
the Jubliee 2000 campaign - a church-led, world-wide initiative to
cancel Third World debt - reflects on the achievements of the
movement and the economic, political and moral considerations it
generated. Founded against perceived unfair IMF structural
adjustment policies, Jubilee 2000 emerged from a grassroots level
to become a global protest movement for the cancellation of debt.
The author assesses the problem with an open mind drawing its in
complexities. He asks, for example, how far the colonial powers
have unfulfilled obligations to the developing world; what to do
about its growing elite which, corruption fuelled, discourages rich
nations to provide assistance; and he begs the question, will debt
relief necessarily bring about poverty reduction? He brings the
Christian perspective, the theological basis for Christian aid, to
the debate, arguing it offers essential moral guidance.
