From Kenya-THE Head of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), Archbishop Eliud Wabukala over the weekend tied the knot with one of the church's senior pastors, in a private wedding conducted in Mombasa.
Sources privy to the on goings informed The Star that prior to the wedding that was held at the St Peter's ACK church in Nyali area, the prelate had conducted a civil wedding during that week, at the District Commissioner's office, which was only attended by three witnesses.
The church wedding, in which Mombasa ACK Bishop Julius Kalu married Wabukala to Pastor Rhoda Luvuna, was attended by less than 100 close family members, few friends and church officials, the Star can reveal. The prelate and his relatives two weeks ago paid Sh140,000 to Luvuna's family in Shimba Hills, as part of the dowry.
Wabukala's wife died almost one year ago, leaving him with several children and sources intimated that due to his position in church, he was expected to get another wife to replace her.

But it's the marriage of the Bishop of New Hampshire which is perverse and scandalous???
To put a couple of points right: Mama Caren (++Eliud's first wife) died in September 2010, so nearer two years than one. They had six children, one of whom (Renson) died in 2009 following a road accident. It was an honour for me to be able to attend Mama Caren's funeral at their home, attended by a few thousand others, including many from central government. Both Eliud and Caren are much respected by the Kenya government as well as ACK.

The wedding was not secret - it was private. One should argue whether it was legal or not. In the laws of the land, the marriage was legal. In the laws of the church the marriage is legal. Dont use the word secret - please. Use private. And personally I support it.
