The major theme of this dialogue was gender equality in churches with particular reference to the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA). Rev.  Malinga has created history by holding the office of Bishop for several years and being elected as a Presiding Bishop of MCSA (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho & Mozambique). Having endured the cross and discrimination of patriarchy for over 200 years, women of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA) have finally entered through the patriarchal structures by the election of the first Presiding Bishop who is a woman.
