The changing face of Zambia's Christianity: Churches of Bauleni Compound
In conjunction with SAIPAR, the research was published in the Journal of Southern African Studies, which can be accessed here. The research also formed the basis of a FENZA article by Bernhard Udelhoven—see the Publications section or click here. The list of 82 churches in Bauleni Compound that was compiled for this research project, may be viewed here. It contains data about the churches' origins, affiliation, number of adherents, and other details up to 2009.
