Abstract:Charles Domingo is well known in the history of Nyasaland as an independent church leader, a pioneer critic of colonialism and an associate of Joseph Booth. His career is described from his successfully completed probation in 1902 until 1934, when he was employed by the government. After leaving the Presbyterians in 1908, Domingo briefly associated with John Chilembwe's Provident Industrial Mission before joining Booth in the Watch Tower Movement. In 1910 he followed Booth into adherence to the Seventh Day Baptists. At the root of Domingo's view of independency was his religious commitment to the love ethic. An equally consistent theme was the necessity of maintaining a high standard of civilization for independency in church and state, which he wished to attain through independent boarding schools.
