摘要

The missionaries who introduced Christianity to Africa offered the heathen a sometimes confusing choice. Should you become an Anglican or a Roman Catholic? What about the Methodists or the Presbyterians? And don't forget the Dutch Reformed Church. Thoughtful Africans tended to pick a confession that offered something more than liturgy. Here Garfield Todd, newly arrived from New Zealand, had an advantage over some other missionaries. His church, the New Zealand Church of Christ, might not have the glamour of the Catholics, but he was a brilliant teacher. His school for African children at Da-daya, in what was then British-ruled Southern Rhodesia and later became independent Zimbabwe, gained fame throughout the country for spotting and developing the talent of its pupils. A teachers' training college was later attached to the school. A number of the country's future black political leaders learnt spelling and sums as pupils of Sir Garfield, as he became late in life. Robert Mugabe, then aged 19, briefly taught at the Dadaya school.
