CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCING THE STUDY
Introduction
Background and Motivation for the Study
No further publication came after the third volume, Sundkler and Steed, A History of the Church in Africa, pp. As reflected in the literature survey in this study, there has been no published work on the history of the Anglican Church in Tanzania covering this period.
Outline of the Research Problem
The fourth reason for this study focused on the struggle for independence which began in the latter part of the 1950s with Tanganyika gaining its independence in 1961 and Zanzibar in 1964. My determination to use writing as a way of knowing and a way to systematize knowledge. that my findings would contribute to a better knowledge of the subject is fulfilled in all the chapters of this study.
Objectives and Research Questions
- Research Objectives of the Study
- Description of Research Questions
In this regard, the first research question would be the reactions of the church to the struggle for political independence, the new state regime, the introduction of the policy of Ujamaa na Kujitegema and the reaction of the state authority to the reactions of the Anglican Church. . The third part was about the reactions of the church to the politics of Ujamaa na Kujitegema and the responses of the political authority.
Literature Survey and Location of the Study
- Literature Pertaining to the History of Christianity in Tanzania The history of pre-independent Tanganyika and Zanzibar, as well as the period which
- Literature about the Anglican Church in Tanzania
- Literature related to Ujamaa in Tanzania
Another aspect of the history of Anglicanism in Tanzania has been the post-independence church. Mndolwa, A Theological and Historical Analysis of the Revival Movement (Uamsho) within the Anglican Church of Tanzania, Unpublished MTh.
Theoretical Framework
It was during the meetings of these synods that the theology of the church was. I also used this theory to analyze the impact of the state's introduction of the policy of Ujamaa na Kujitegema on the church.
Research Design and Methodology 1. Sources and Methods
- Archival History 115
- Oral History
- Language of Interviews
I was able to access information about the work of the Roman Catholic Church held in Dar es Salaam, Bagamoyo and Tabora. I kept some of the Kiswahili words in this study for the purpose of presenting the originality of the information.
Analysis of Data
Thus, this exercise became a study of how these Anglicans (and others) contributed to the emergence and practice of their Ujamaa-centered church in Tanzania. Information that was relevant to my study objectives was published in a specific chapter of this study.
Coding of the Data
For example, documents from the Diocese of Dar es Salaam held by Archbishop Sepeku's library were marked as ASL/ADD/Document Title/Date Created. All sources originating from the Tanganyika library have been listed as TL/name of the document/date of its creation.
Structure of the Study
Chapter Five: This chapter continued to address the second objective of the study and focused its attention on the impact of Ujamaa life on leadership, theology, ecclesiology, liturgy and ministry in the church in Tanzania. Chapter Six: This chapter responded to the questions raised in my second objective of this study and focuses on the aspects of the church that enabled it to embrace Ujamaa.
CHAPTER TWO
IN THE MAKING OF THE CHURCH
Basis of Anglican and State Relations in Tanzania
All bishops for the colonies were appointed under Letters Patent from the Crown.‖143 Therefore, while the Crown installed governors in the British colonies, it also sent bishops to "serve the colonies".144 This connection was also reflected in the role of the Archbishop of Canterbury. -t for church and state. In turn, he placed the crown on the head of the new Queen or King.145 These roles of the archbishop show a symbolic connection between the church and the Monarchy and reflect that the extent of the imperial governors had to be.
Impacts of the Ideologies of UMCA and CMS on the Mission Field
- The Impact of UMCAs Ideology on the Mission Field
- The Effects of the CMSAs Ideology on the Mission Field
It is in fact a healthy thing that the areas of the church and the state should be well defined. 158. Moriyama, The Development of African Ministries in the Work of the Universities Missionary to Central Africa, Unpublished Ph.D.
The Missions’ Relations with People of Other Religious Persuasions
- Relations with African Traditional Religious Believers
- The Missions’ Relations with Muslims
- The Missions’ Relations with Christians of other Denominations According to Lennard, the British colonialists in Tanganyika divided the missions into
Thus, the application of the missionaries' ideologies and the agenda of their government became the dictating force in the church's relationship with people of other religious beliefs. Ketto noted that these indicated the missionaries' perception of the evils in the mission stations compared to those in the "ujamaa villages".256 Indeed, it indicated that an "ujamaa village" had the kind of life that needed to be changed. Therefore, it was not expected that thousands of people would again continue to fall victim to the new segregationist systems.

- Formation of the Church of the Province of Tanzania
The Archbishop of Canterbury approved the use of the constitution of the Diocese of Mombasa (with some minor changes) for Central Tanganyika.338 Its effect. As mentioned earlier, the CMSA treated the Diocese of Central Tanganyika as one of the divisions of their Australian Church. The Final Synod of the Church of the Province of East Africa was held on 2 June 1970 in Dodoma.
Sodalities of the Anglican Church of Tanzania 1. Mothers Union (MU)
- Tanzanian Youth Organisation (TAYO)
There was no written document about the CMM and therefore very few Anglicans knew about this community. These projects have been used in this discussion as an example that although there was no recorded material about the MU, it brought together married Anglican women from parishes, deans, archdeaconries and dioceses to pray, read scriptures and discuss issues related to the church's marriages. As for men's ministry, there was no sodality that specifically dealt with men in the church.
Chapter Summary
In addition, the church has not built a bridge between the young women who have come out of TAYO and between the young men from TAYO and the men from the church. During the discussion, it became obvious that the Church was changing according to new developments in the economic, social and political life of the people. These were the main phases of the church that were the focus of the discussions in the following chapters.

Chapter Summary
First, contrary to the misrepresentation of the role of the "Anglican Church" in Tanzania's political development in the literature, I argue that Anglican missionary bishops were the ones who influenced the political events in the country. Second, African Anglicans were in advance of Tanganyika and Zanzibar's political achievements because their missions were the "state church" before independence. Third, while the transfer of power to African rule took place without problems on the part of the Tanganyika state, this was not the case in the church.
CHAPTER FOUR
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY OF UJAMAA NA KUJITEGEMEA AND ITS IMPACTS ON THE CHURCH
Impacts of the Implementation of the Policy of Ujamaa Villages on the church
He should be fully involved in village life and work and take Sunday services and Bible lessons etc. The villagers were very excited to see the involvement of their church in the developments of the Ujamaa villages. Nyawu's conclusion has some relevance to the general rule applied in other dioceses of the church.
Reform in the Education Sector and its impacts in the Church
932 CMSA/MLMSS6040/62/Minutes of the meeting of the Committee of the Church Missionary Society of Australia, Thursday 13 April 1967, p This needs to be emphasized because, contrary to the opinion of many members, the Government took over the schools by force , it was the church that enabled the government to take over the schools. First, it was a way of showing the church's loyalty to the government it supported from the struggle for independence.
The Church’s Reaction to the Reform of Marriage Law
These laws had never been changed and were reflected in the Synod of the Diocese of Zanzibar and Tanga in 1993, p. However, in the entire diocese of the Anglican Church, only the diocese of Zanzibar and Tanga responded. This is because the Church is specifically concerned with the care and protection of the weaker members of society.

The Church's reactions to the government's reform in the health sector Until the declaration of Arusha, according to the government's medical scheme, the church co-. The Arusha Declaration, on the other hand, revived some of the aspects of cooperation between the church and the government on medical work. But the growth of health facilities while a good number of qualified doctors had left the country following the government's emphasis on Africanization posed a challenge to both church and state.
The Church’s Reactions to the Reforms of Land
The church land, which was purchased before 1960, bore the names of the mission groups (UMCA and CMSA). For example, where the church did not have church buildings, the government allowed the church to use some classrooms in the nationalized schools to conduct its services. The church authority felt comfortable in these surroundings because the land, schools and hospitals belonged to the nation.
Chapter Summary
At first, the church left its schools as a way of showing its loyalty to the government it supported during the struggle for independence. Secondly, according to the needs of the times, which arose while the government continued to carry out its plans, the church was obliged to hand over its schools. The church realized that transferring its schools to the government would relieve it of the heavy burden of paying teachers, support staff and maintenance.
CHAPTER FIVE
THE UJAMAA-CENTRED CHURCH IN TANZANIA (1967-1993)
The Nature of Leadership in the Ujamaa-Centred Church
F.108510% to the local parish and the memory is to be used at the discretion of the village church council. The fact that the role of the jamaa in the extended family was transferred to the Ujamaa villages made it easier for the villagers to access their priests and this became a cause of change. Thus, for the first time in the history of the Synod of the Diocese of Zanzibar and Tanga, three women (Monica Upanga, Jessie Mhina and Rhoda Kigua) were chosen to represent their parishes in the Synod of 1974.1129 This kind of leadership in the Church extracted its essence from the.
The Theology of a Ujamaa-Centred Church
Since the church accepted the principles of Ujamaa, it proposed that the principles of Ujamaa become the incarnational theology of the Ujamaa-centered church in Tanzania. In the case of the Anglican family (the Anglican Communion), it was (and still is) the differences that enabled the people (the Imago Dei) to come together as one family once every eight years ( i.e. the Lambeth Conference), 1171 where they would debate without fighting, until consensus could be reached. It is from this understanding that the ecclesiology of the Ujamaa-centered church can be derived.
