Delegación ecuménica internacional visitó Kenya del 30 de enero al 3 de febrero de 2008

Las iglesias que trabajan por la paz en medio de la ola de violencia postelectoral en Kenya recibieron, del 30 de enero al 3 de febrero, la visita pastoral y solidaria de una delegación ecuménica internacional enviada por el Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI). 

Las iglesias de Kenya están luchando por lograr paz y reconciliación en medio de una ola de violencia postelectoral entre grupos étnicos que, desde comienzos de año, ha causado ya la muerte de más de 700 personas y ha obligado a unas 250.000 a huir de sus hogares. 

La visita de la delegación ecuménica internacional tuvo por objeto expresar la solidaridad de las iglesias de todo el mundo con las de Kenya en este trance tan doloroso. El equipo visitador se informó sobre cuál es la mejor forma en que la comunidad internacional de iglesias puede apoyar a las iglesias del país en sus esfuerzos de pacificación y reconciliación. El Consejo Nacional de Iglesias de Kenya fue el anfitrión de la visita.

Nairobi (ENI). Some Christian leaders in Kenya have commented on what they say is the inability of the country's churches to speak with one voice about the violence that has followed disputed presidential election results, and which has led to the deaths of around 1000 people. "I want to express my concern; we don't seem to be speaking in one voice at this critical time," Anglican Bishop Gideon Ireri of Mbeere in eastern Kenya told Ecumenical News International on 5 February.
