An email from: Revd. Musa Daba, from Nairobi: One day down, four more to go, and if today is anything to go by... Ladies and gentleman fasten your seat belts, it about to get real... GAFCON, GLOBAL ANGLICAN FUTURE CONFERENCE, is meeting for the second time. the first was held in Jerusalem in 2008. Now we are in East Africa, Nairobi Kenya to exact. What GAFCON is all about, just refer to their website: gafcon.org. What a place, what people and what genuinely beautiful Christians. Today was the introductory session for the conference. We were given a taste of what is known as the East African Revival. This is the east African Revival: For over a century the Balokole Revival has had a deep impact on many of the Protestant Churches of Eastern Africa, invigorating and renewing their life and offering to individuals the challenge of a deeper experience of salvation in Christ and a more radical commitment to Christian discipleship. In many respects the East African Revival falls within the pattern of Evangelical Awakenings which have been a feature of European and American Protestantism since the 18th Century. The influence of the British Keswick movement on the Revival in East Africa is to be particularly noted in this context. Nevertheless, the Revival has been the means by which the Christian Gospel has become incarnated more deeply and radically into African patterns of thinking and action, a genuinely African expression of Genuine Christianity Christianity.
