Popis:	Over a shared cup of chai, church leaders imaginatively sit with Professor Gifford to talk about his latest book, where he indicts the churches in Kenya with a ‘domesticated’ form of Christianity. In what otherwise would be a highly polemical encounter, theological hospitality brings the two parties together for constructive dialogue. Theological and sociological perspectives move together to offer nuanced interpretation into the diversity of Christianity in the country, with attention to how the various churches can draw upon their ecclesiastical resources to better stand against the forces that precipitate socio-political abuse, and thus function as agents of life.
