Zambia is a "Christian country" by constitution. Christianity is the official religion in Zambia according to the 1996 constitution, and the vast majority of Zambians i.e 96% are Christians of various denominations, but many other religious traditions are present. Christianity is believed to have arrived in Zambia in the form of European Protestant missionaries and African explorers during the mid of 19th century. Zambia is officially a Christian nation according to the 1996 constitution, but a wide variety of religious traditions exist. Christian denominations include: '''Presbyterianism, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Pentecostal, New Apostolic Church, Lutheran, Seventh-day Adventist, Jehovah's Witnesses, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Branhamism''', and a variety of '''Evangelical''' denominations. These grew, adjusted and prospered from the original missionary settlements (Portuguese and Catholicism in the east from Mozambique) and Anglicanism (English and Scottish influences) from the south.<ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Zambia", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zambia, accessed 19 March 2020. </ref><ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Religion in Zambia", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Zambia, accessed 19 March 2020. </ref><br>
