Sunday had your's truly and a bevy of priests taking the 2 hour ride to the Cathedral of the Charismatic Evangelical Episcopal Church, waaaayyyyy out in the north western part of the country. The Mass was wonderful with so much singing and dancing and nearly everyone having some sort of welcome speech to give.
There were at least 10 priests in attendance as well as the bishop and a congregation of say about 65.
In the midst of it all, a reporter from the Kenyan national TV station arrived with camera in tow and -- somehow in the midst of the service -- managed to interview several of the clergy for a 1/2 hour special on this church.
This denomination is rooted in the Anglican church and seeks to converge, as they say, the three most popular elements in Christianity today: the liturgical/sacramental; evangelical; and charismatic.....It seems to be catching on and seems a particularly natural fit for Africa where the spirit is often moving in people's lives....
I just get a kick out of bringing greetings in the Lord from the place Obama was born!
