The Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) has said a High Court ruling allowing the gay and lesbian community to register an association will undermine the family set-up.

Speaking in Nakuru while marking the end of a three-day mothers' induction exercise, ACK Archbishop Eliud Wabukala said the Church was opposed to the ruling, which he termed "naive and inconsiderate".
