Description
David Gitari, third Archbishop of Kenya, was one of the first post-colonial global Anglican leaders. He challenged Kenya’s politicians, survived attempted assassination, devised new worship services, reformed the Anglican Communion’s pastoral care of polygamists and consolidated Anglican orthodoxy as a global movement with leadership from Africans. He kept a diary of ‘daily occurrences’ throughout his life. His book is a unique resource for African Church History in the twentieth century.
