ANGLICAN CHURCH OF KENYA: Focus on Revival Draws 2,000 at Divine Conference

We are becoming accustomed to the idea that the global centre of gravity of the Anglican Communion, as for Christianity as a whole, now lies in Africa and the opening day of the Anglican Church of Kenya's 'Divine Conference' is another sign of the growing confidence of the African Anglican churches. Some 1,000 had registered before hand and another 1,000 are believed to have registered on the day.
This event was inspired by the Anglican Church of Nigeria's 'Divine Commonwealth' Conference last November and Nigerian Archbishop Ben Kwashi was welcomed as the main speaker and a delegate who had also attended the Nigerian Conference remarked on the high quality of the teaching at both. The day was built around three main addresses which I summarise below, and each was bracketed by times of high energy worship led with undeniable skill and enthusiasm. After lunch about half a dozen seminars were laid on covering topics such as Urban Mission, the Anglican Communion and the Great Mission, Church Growth and Leadership, Islam, and Ministry to Youth.
