  • L'église Saint-Michel-et-tous-les-Anges (St. Michael and All Angels Church) fut construite en briques entre 1888 et 1891 sur le site d'une mission protestante écossaise à Blantyre, au Malawi. Située à l'emplacement d'origine de la mission, elle relève de l'Église presbytérienne d'Afrique centrale, synode de Blantyre. Depuis 1991, elle a noué un partenariat avec l'Hiland Presbyterian Church de Pittsburgh aux États-Unis. En 1885, le lieutenant H. E. O'Neil détermine la longitude de Blantyre, 2 heures 20 minutes 13,56 secondes à l'est du méridien de Greenwich, en menant une série de 365 observations de la lune ; une plaque, installée sur un côté de l'église, commémore cet évènement. L'église a été décrite comme « la première église chrétienne érigée […] entre le Zambèze et le Nil » par le révérend Alexander Hetherwick. (fr)
