Ole Sapit bans politicians from Anglican pulpits

Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya Jackson Ole Sapit has banned politicians from addressing congregants in the Anglican Churches across the country.

Ole Sapit said politicians will be allowed to speak to congregants outside after the services.

He added that their presence will be acknowledged, stand up and wave to the congregants.

Speaking on Sunday at St Stephen’s Cathedral, Ole Sapit further said that Anglican Churches will not announce offertory in churches.

“When the time comes for acknowledging all those who have come, we will do that but I want to give direction that from today henceforth in any Anglican congregation, there will be no opportunity for any political leader to have a speech in the Church,” he said.

“If they so wish to address the congregation, it will be done outside the sanctuary. Not only today but in all our dioceses and churches.”
