Genome: [r4 Bd=19930413] | Three programmes in which Dr Colin Morris returns to southern Africa and reflects on the changes of 30 years. 1: Back to the Zambezi As a young missionary in northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), Colin Morris was known as "the fighting parson" for his outspoken sermons on racial equality. He returns to the people and places he knew then and asks what difference the missionary made in the nation's fight for independence. Producer Beverley McAtnsh |

Genome: [r4 Bd=19930427] | 3: Back to Sione In the last of three personal essays on the influence of western missionaries in Africa, Rev Colin Morris looks at the Africanisation of missions, and tells the extraordinary story of Alice Lenshina.
