ABSTRACT
By the time Moi took office, the Church was an integral part of the associationallife of Kenya. Its wide network of educational, health care, social and economic-oriented facilities was in place. It was deeply and inextricably involved in the daily lives of a good part of the Kenyan population, Anglicans and non-Anglicans alike. Its varied development work was essential to the quality of life of the people and, to some extent, to the ability of the government to maintain order and stability. The vital importance of its work to the country's welfare was acknowledged by both the people and the government.
