A Kenyan Anglican priest has been elected a bishop in New Zealand.
Steve Maina, 48, will oversee the diocese of Nelson and, upon consecration, the bishop-elect will succeed Richard Ellena.
Mr
Maina hails from Kagio in Kirinyaga County and comes from a family of
priests with his father and grandfather having been Anglican priests.
Speaking exclusively to Sunday Nation from New Zealand, bishop-elect Maina said he was proud of his parents for raising him in the church.
“I
owe who I am to my parents who invested in me from an early age. I was
raised in the village. I worked in the farm and supported my parents,”
he recalled.
