No message from Josh today.....

Sooooo...YES...my heart is pounding a little.

FROM DON:

Natalie, here is what was published today in the church’s security bulletin. I guess it is possible that the mission president asked the missionaries not to be out due to this issue, or not to proselyte now due to this issue. Or who knows, maybe this is not the reason he hasn’t written? Do you know if other Kenyan missionaries have written home today?

KENYA, page 1 - Summary

The publication of a draft constitution for Kenya, recognizing the presence of Muslim civil courts known as the Kadhi Courts, has widened the Christian-Muslim split. Some Kenyan Christian leaders have dismissed the creation of the Kadhi Courts, as currently proposed in the draft constitution, as a ploy to ‘elevate one religion over the other,’ while the Islamic clerics have warned that they would mobilize the Muslim community to reject a new draft that omits the Kadhi Courts. The Anglican Church has asked those drafting the constitution to define, clearly, the right of persons to propagate religion and the right of a person to convert to another religion.
