Building the Church as Family of God

Evaluation of Small Christian Communities in Eastern Africa

Building the Church as Family of God: Evaluation of Small Christian Communities in Eastern AfricaIf Small Christian Communities (SCCs) are a “New Way of Being/Becoming Church,” then it is appropriate that this is a new way of writing a “Foreword.” We are not well-known people (important leaders or celebrities). We are seven ordinary Kenyan Catholic lay members of St. Kizito SCC located in Waruku, an informal settlement area (lower class housing) in Nairobi, Kenya. We are one of the 15 neighborhood, parish-based SCCs in St. Austin’s Parish in Nairobi Archdiocese. We are five men and two women representing five ethnic groups in Kenya. We have a variety of professions: three cooks, a farmer, a freelance photographer, a salesperson and a secretary. Our small group ranges from the chairperson (now called Moderator) to an ordinary member. One afternoon the seven of us got together to discuss the importance of SCCs and this book. Here is the fruit of our conversation.
