This means that the engagement of women in Theology is an endeavor which is not without a history. However, the birth of the Circle for concerned African Women Theologians popularly known as the Circle in 1989 has aided the development of theology and has increased the involvement of women in theology. Through the involvement of different women theologians, the Circle emphasizes on innovative contextual and gender sensitive interpretative principles of religion and culture, focusing on issues that concern women and children. The first members of the Circle in Malawi were members of the Central African Presbyterian Church. Among these were Isabel Apawo Phiri, Fulata Moyo and Getrude Kapuma. The second wave of Malawi Circle members were from the Evangelical Church. This paper centers on Rachel NyaGondwe Fiedler an academician and a social worker, from the evangelical tradition, specifically the Baptist Convention of Malawi. The aim of this chapter is to narrate the life and the contributions of Rachael Fiedler towards Theology and the Circle.engTheologyRachel NyaGondwe FiedlercontributionMalawi and patriarchy230bookpart
