Kenya鈥檚 Quakers: Best of Friends
How Quakerism in Kenya鈥攈ome to over a third of all Quakers鈥攄iffers from elsewhere.
Kenya is home to the majority of the world's Quakers and it is vibrant and noisy, much different from the quiet, contemplative religion most of us know.
Audrey Brown has been to the spiritual home of the Quaker faith, Kaimosi to learn how it landed, spread and flourished.
The faith is growing at rapid rate across East Africa, fighting for converts with other Christian faiths and Quakers in Europe have recently been debating whether God has a place in its worship, but that's not the case here in Kenya, God is at the front and centre of their boisterous services. there aren't many moments of silence here.
Audrey meets the Kenyan worshippers as well some visiting German Quakers and listens in as they debate the importance, or not, of God.
