The Religious Landscape of Malawi and Prospects for Covenantal Pluralism

This paper argues for the need to discuss religious freedom in stable countries as a means to enhance religious literacy and engagement through mutual respect. This paper explores the confrontations that occurred between the church and the people in the colonial era, as well as the disputes between the church and the state in postcolonial Malawi, focusing specifically on the persecution faced by Jehovah's Witnesses. The study highlights the importance of implementing principles of covenantal pluralism to address the historical persecution of religious minority groups in Malawi, which has often been overlooked due to the country's stability
