"Everyone, including politicians, expects the churches to play a big role in terms of reconciliation, healing, resettlement and trust building," said Canon Peter Karanja, general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK). "We will need sustained and committed engagement of our international ecumenical partners if we are to fulfill that role."
According to a Christian Post report, Kenyan churches are seeking a long-term healing effort that will require the sustained engagement of international ecumenical partners. Said Anglican Archbishop of Kenya Benjamin Nzimbi: "We need your prayers for people to come back to their senses. We must bring Kenya back where it ought to be."
