12th September 2021 is a day to be remembered and celebrated for years to come as the Anglican Church of Kenya ordained and consecrated the First-ever female Bishop. Rt. Rev. Rose Nereya Okeno became the First Female Diocesan Bishop in the History of the Anglican Church of Kenya. This is considered a very huge milestone within the church as most top clergy positions go to men. Bishop Rose has a background in Human resource management started out as an office administrator, planning and executing administrative roles within the diocese. Bishop Rose was determined to do more for her dioceses and with no time rose up to managerial roles. She is credited for restructuring operations and leading women projects-delivery and establishing women networks within the Butere area in western Kenya. Dedication to service is her greatest value tied to her faith and it is this sheer hard work that led to her being elected for the role of Bishop making her the Female ever in the Anglican church of Kenya to be consecrated as Bishop. She serves in what is termed as one of the oldest missionary centers of Western Kenya. That is all we had for you on the African Tour Tale, My name is Kahihu Njoki.
