New Archbishop of Kenya enthroned
from ACNS:
Thousands of Anglicans from Kenya and beyond yesterday (Sunday) attended the enthronement of their new archbishop, the Most Revd Dr Jackson Ole Sapit at the All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi. Archbishop Ole Sapit becomes the 6th archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) and the 4th Bishop of All Saints Cathedral Diocese.
The service was a cocktail of colours and vibrancy characteristic of the church in Africa and saw choirs drawn from across the province take turns in joyful singing and dance. In attendance was the President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta; his Vice President, William Ruto; the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion and Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby; other primates from Africa and beyond, ambassadors, Mothers’ Union representatives, various clergy and laity, and many other notable guests and dignitaries.
“The Anglican Church in Kenya has always been at the forefront in the fight against corruption in Kenya and has never compromised in rebuking corrupt leaders in the country,” said the preacher of the day, Archbishop and Primate of Tanzania the Most Revd Jacob Chimeledya. “As a leader you cannot remain quiet because being in the top leadership of the church means you have to rebuke and correct whenever necessary.”
