Kenya’s golden jubilee coincides with another equally important golden jubilee-Vatican II-one of the most important reference points in the Church’s history, a bishop has said.

| Rt. Rev. Bishop Philip Anyolo |
In an exclusive interview with Rose Achiego of Waumini Communications Ltd, the principal administrator of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB), Bishop Philip Anyolo said that the Kenyan Church must look at the golden jubilee celebrations as a window of opportunity to reflect on both national and spiritual achievements.
Bishop Anyolo added that the Church in Kenya must take time to re-read the Second Vatican Council document, which he described as an elaborate guide to a fulfilling life and sound spiritual development.
He said that as one of the fastest growing African Countries, Kenya faces numerous challenges including materialism, moral decadence breakdown of family values and ungodliness.
He called on the Catholic Church to reflect more on the year of faith and stamp the teachings of Christ into the lives of the faithful. The Church, he said, remains an important reference point in the stormy sea of moral and spiritual decadence.
The Bishop said the year of faith offered an opportunity for all Catholics to renew their commitment to Christ, in their families, work place and Church.
