Dear Rt. Rev. Sapit
REF: CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE ON YOUR ELECTION AS THE 6TH ARCHBISHOP OF ACK
Receive Christian greetings from the National Council of Churches of Kenya.
On behalf of the Governance, Management and staff of the Council, I am delighted to send you warmest congratulations following your election as the 6th Archbishop of the Anglican Church in Kenya. The NCCK welcomes this development at ACK and joins the entire country and indeed the world in wishing you God’s blessings as you prepare to officially take over office early July, 2016.
You will note that your election comes at a time when Kenya is going through a difficult stretch politically and when the church has engaged on a bigger scale to speak sanity to the conflicting voices. Indeed, your contribution is going to be critical in the leadership needed in these processes.
This new role therefore brings with it a lot of expectations not only from your congregants but also the general public. In this regard, the NCCK would like to affirm your capacity to lead the Anglican Church in Kenya and pray that God shall give you wisdom and strength to steer this large institution in the new dispensation that opens new opportunities for the Church in Kenya.
Being our founder member, ACK carries a big responsibility in holding the ecumenical family together. We pledge our total support to you and ACK and also wish to request for your time, counsel and leadership in the NCCK and other ecumenical processes.
As you mark this important milestone, we pray that God will give you all the wisdom and grace as you serve.
Once again, congratulation Archbishop elect!
Yours sincerely
Rev. Canon Peter Karanja.
General Secretary
