Meanwhile in Kenya —

Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury fails to mention the Anglican Church of Kenya´s unhealthy OPPOSITION to the now-in-place, new inclusive Constitution that the Church fought to defeat!

Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams (right) and his Kenyan counterpart, GAFCON schismatic chairman, Eliud Wabukala during golden jubilee celebrations at ACK Cathedral, Nakuru on June 19, 2011.

Dr Rowan urged the church to take centre stage in efforts on peace and reconciliation. 

¨Speaking at Nakuru's ACK Cathedral in a commemoration of the church's 50th anniversary, Archbishop Williams told church leaders they must stand up against land and money grabbers. "It will pit you against some of the most powerful individuals but God is always on the side of the righteous," the principal leader of the Church of England said.

He said that the church in Africa must be at the forefront in challenging greed and exploitation especially at a time of strife. He said the church in Kenya, Congo, Nigeria, Sudan, Zimbabwe and Pakistan are going through especially tough times and the faith and resilience of the faithful in these countries is a shining beacon to Christians in other parts of the world.

Archbishop Williams lauded the Kenyan church for its role in national healing and reconciliation following the 2007 post-election violence. He urged Christians to act as a force of peace and reconciliation in the country ahead of next year's polls. "You must learn to live together as neighbours, loving and caring for each other as Christ has directed," the clergyman said.

Archbishop Williams was accompanied by Archbishop Eliud Wabukala who will play host to him until June 23. The church leader is expected to pay a courtesy call to President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga on April 22 before proceeding with the next phase of his African visit to Eastern Congo. HERE

ANGLICAN CHURCH LEADERS HAVE LOST THE TRUST OF KENYANS

Out of touch Anglican Church in Kenya Archbishop Eliud Wabukala recently was elected as Gafcon schismatics chairman

¨The actions and omissions of the Church leadership over the past five years point to a deepening crisis. The church seems unable to find the voice of the populi, which should concern the hierarchies of the Pentecostal, Anglican and Catholic denominations.¨

ANOTHER GOD LOVING CHRISTIAN ALERT: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, ¨defends LGBT equality¨

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

¨Another reason to love Bishop Desmond Tutu. If Bishop Desmond Tutu comes to your town, you best go see him. Hard not to adore a man who writes this when slamming homophobia in Africa, specifically the madness in Uganda.: “Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people are part of so many families. They are part of the human family. They are part of God’s family. And of course they are part of the African family.” HERE
