Abstract
In a brief foreword to a work on influence of religious move ments on national and international politics, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter named Southern African nation of Zambia as a good case in point of a country in which the churches carried trust of people and made a decisive contribution to reestablishment of democracy.1 This essay takes up Carter's observation and investigates church-state relations in Zambia from colonial era to present. Such studies are crucial because, as James E. Wood, Jr. has stated, continues to play a prominent role in political and social life of nation-states throughout world.2 Focusing on churches is justifiable because Christianity is continent's dominant religion at level of government and of political life.3 Finally, the prospect of finding . . . patterns among seemingly diverse ways in which religion and social order interface is a challenge of first order for social sciences.4
