Abstract
This dissertation deals with the Pentecostalisation of "mainline" Christianity in Malawi. The researcher seeks to determine how the Malawian "mainline" churches are integrating and
appropriating Pentecostal and charismatic ethos, spirituality and features in an attempt to survive its impact (Including Blantyre Synod). It is also determine the impact of the exodus of Christians from the "mainline" churches to Pentecostal/ charismatic Movements. Pentecostal and charismatic movements, peripheral to "mainline" Christianity in Malawi only a few decades ago have now moved to the centre of "mainline" Christianity in Malawi.
