Let the church wake from slumber and steer nation to oasis of peace

It is faulty to run for elected office on the basis of popularity in church circles. [Willis Awandu, Standard]

In the classic animation film The Lion King, young Simba, for a lengthy while, lost his lion identity. But a time came when he rediscovered his lion-hood. He roared and all the animals knew him anew. This was the analogy given by Bishop David Oginde when describing the urgent need for the church to rediscover itself in order to impact the political space as it should. In a three-day 'Church and Politics Summit', top leaders from various denominations as well as choice professionals took the floor to candidly assess the contribution of the church in Kenya’s politics. The goal was to gather actionable perspectives to launch the church into a new identity that boldly cleanses the political mess.
