Archdeacon Charles F. Mackenzie ministered in the diocese of Natal in South Africa from 1855 to 1859. The early days of the diocese and the colony of Natal were characterized by conflict both inside and outside the church. The church conflict of Bishop John Colenso is perhaps most infamous. Mackenzie attempted to navigate this space and minister to settlers, soldiers, and Africans alike. This article draws on primary sources to explore the life and times of Mackenzie and argues that despite Mackenzie's remarkable story, the inseparability of coloniality from the missionary endeavour, racism, and the civilizing narrative was inescapable. Racism has evolved and is still a challenge for many churches.

查尔斯·麦肯齐（Charles F. Mackenzie）与早期殖民种族主义

1855年至1859年，大主教查尔斯·麦肯齐（Charles F. Mackenzie）在南非纳塔尔教区任职。初期，纳塔尔教区和殖民地的特点是教堂内外发生冲突。约翰·科伦索主教的教堂冲突可能是最臭名昭著的。麦肯齐试图在这个地方航行，并向定居者，士兵和非洲人提供服务。本文利用主要资料来探讨麦肯齐的生活和时代，并指出，尽管麦肯齐的故事非凡，但殖民主义与传教事业，种族主义和文明叙事的不可分割性是不可避免的。种族主义已经发展，仍然是许多教会面临的挑战。
