World church body sending team to violence-hit Kenya
Geneva (ENI). The World Council of Churches is sending a fact-finding and support team to Kenya, which has been hit by a wave of violence that has resulted in the deaths of more than 800 people following disputed presidential election results.
WCC general secretary the Rev. Samuel Kobia, himself a Kenyan, said on 29 January he hoped Kenya "will overcome the prevailing situation and that the churches will play an important part in speeding up that time".
