Bishop Nzimbi visits • from page 1 . don't want strictly white , collared people. It also serves to make them_ a little more humble. Once every four months, - for a four day periodAall diocese workers and rural deaneries meetin one deanery. The time is spent in prayer and going out to farms to see what other groups are doing. It basically acts as an exchange of ideas. The Bishop believes the church has been called to bring deliverance ' to the people and to teach them their rights. Government According to the Bishop, Kenya has a very stable government, (despite theTfact it is surrounded by military governments) under elected President Daniel arap Moi, who is a Christian. Although Kenya is under a one party system, which has a lot of power, the president is loved by the people. , Christianity is thriving, but at the same . time they have Islam. Nelson Mandela is viewed as a hero by . the people. He has visited Kenya twice and the Bishop said he speaks with a lot of authority and very constructively. He stated he wholly agreed with him and his fight for, a just cause. Education The educational system in Kenya is somewhat different than what we are, used to.

Bishop Nzimbi said there is a big expansion in education in Kenya with ap- proxiilltately 10,000 students in universities every year. The problem is job c,, rhmity once ,.the education is p dined.' They are currently managing this problem by forming light industries where most secondary level skills may be absorbed. • Whilethe past five and one half years have been very hectic for the , Bishop and his wife, they are happy with the results they have seen so far. They find the rural people to be very cooperative and tight . knit, willing to listen and learn. The rurnd. groups have . helped development move faster and the people have grown as a result. Mrs.' Nzimbi was a. primary school teacher, prior to her husband being made a Bishop. At that time it was necessary to resign as her time is now centred around teaching, the women of the rural area, social development. Although she misses the young people, Mrs. Nzimbi said she is happy dealing with grownups. Her time is also busy with their five children Martha 15, Paul 14, Neema 12, Peter 9 and Andrew S. Following the ICFID conference in Mississauga, Bishop and Mrs. Nzimbi will spend two weeks in the USA, returning home to Kenya on November 11.
