Territorial disputes in Malawi between synods

In an example of geographic synods who also want to be non-geographic synods, a news article today in African News Dimension  reports on the continuing disagreement between two synods in the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian.  The report says that the Livingstonia Synod has decided to disregard synod boundaries and establish a Tumbuka language congregation in dominantly Chewa speaking Nkhoma synod.  The article says the dispute goes back to 1960 when Chewa speaking workers migrated to Livingstonia to work on farms there and the Nkhoma synod went with them.
