The church in Kenya is good at keeping "holy" boundaries. While this ascetic tendency is good in preserving the church's identity, it must be checked against the role of the church as the salt of the earth. In the academic world, the trend now is interdisciplinary - where one discipline utilises the concepts in another to reinforce a contribution. "Kwa ground" the church needs to expand its connectedness with other actors in the community.

For instance, intentional interaction with science-based institutions and partnership in their initiatives would add value to the ministry of the church. This is supported by the fact that congregants come from a spectrum of professions. To commission them into the world is to affirm the value of each discipline. Isolationism leads to myopia.

Unilingualism: The church largely interacts with only one face of politics - election politics. But this is not all there is. This narrow understanding limits the church's ability to convert its value in the elections phase into gain in the governing phase. Politics is multi-faceted and for the church to increase its effectiveness, it must up itself to a multilingual competency. Without such knowledge, the church will continue to suffer the "use-and-dump" treatment as politicians tap into its ignorance. Improving political illiteracy by expanding its political alphabet is imperative. Limitation in language disables the church's ability to make a robust plan on how to influence Kenyan politics.
