Faith / Religion
The religions of Malawi range from the traditional religions of Africa, to Muslim, Hindu, Roman Catholic and most of the Protestant traditions. Efforts to restore a simple Christian movement similar to the churches of the first century have made exceptional inroads in every region of the nation. Malawi, like many other nations in Africa, has a deep and abiding sense of a Power and a Supreme Being.
