INTRODUCTION
Communication
is one of the cornerstones of the
Christian faith.
Without it, the mission of the
Church will seriously fail.
Church leaders essentially need to
have enthusiasm for good communication
both within and outside the Church.
Our focus in communication has been
and will continue to be building and
strengthening the Church by enabling
greater understanding through information
sharing.
We attempt to help the Church
understand and interpret the environment
within which she finds her mission such as
increasing world debt and related poverty
etc.
Communication
is about people and life.
It does not operate in a vacuum.
A medium of communication is the
nerve – centre of any organization.
The
Communications Centre under the umbrella
of the Anglican Church of Kenya came into
being in 1986 and has been in operation
since then.
It is the testimony of the attempt
by the Church to go and tell… the good
news of Christ’s work using both
traditional and modern symbols of
communication.
In its efforts to go and tell the
good news, the Centre breaks ranks with
traditional mass media news values.
It is testimony to the fact that
the alternative voice can be the voice of
hope and reason.
The
Church in Kenya today remains the voice of
reason, the voice of human concern and the
voice of the conscience of society.
Her strength lies in her laity
living in the country’s rural areas and
to whom she has to act as an animator and
guide in promoting unity and harmony
through collaboration with other people of
good will.

OUR
OBJECTIVES
|
| 1. |
To
enable the Church understand
the critical issues
affecting society and seek a
point of intervention to
promote dialogue within the
social context. |
| 2. |
To
enable the Church look
within itself and develop
and maintain proper
relationships all round thus
taking the Church to the
people rather than waiting
for them to come to Church. |
| 3. |
To
capture and encourage
creativity and renewal in
worship and help local
congregations identify
common interests with other
Churches to enhance greater
cooperation. |
| 4. |
To
help the Church share
success stories and
unsuccessful attempts at
mission. |
| 5. |
To
help the Church understand
and fully use modern
technology in evangelism
because the Church is living
in times of great
technological and social
change. |
| 6. |
To
help the Church empower and
equip the laity for mission
by initiating dialogue on
all issues in the social
context. |
|

|
The
programs initiated to facilitate these
objectives are: |
|
THE
CHRISTIAN VOICE MAGAZINE |
|
In
the discharge of her prophetic role, the
Church needs to constantly interact and
speak to the society.
We intervene by publishing The
Christian Voice magazine to inform and
encourage citizen participation in the
social set-up to build a better society.
The magazine articulates the view
of the Church, clearly and concisely on
social action, discipleship and renewal in
the Christian faith |
|
|
|
ELECTRONIC
MEDIA |
|
Producing
audio talks on key issues forms an
important part of beginning dialogue
particularly in workshops and small group
meetings.
We also use video to share
experiences of the Church in different
parts of the world.
We attempt to document on video,
the experiences of the Kenyan Church and
people |
|
|
|
RESEARCH
AND DOCUMENTATION |
|
By
researching and documenting various issues
of public interest, we hope to develop
enough ground to tackle the root causes of
these social evils |
|
|
|
We
use the knowledge gained to empower and
develop grassroots communications through
training programs for awareness creation,
networking, and to raise up writers for
both Church and secular media |
