Episode Details

Reverend Catherine Ngina Musau, a fifty-five-year-old mother of two, has been elected as the first female presiding bishop of the Kenya Evangelical Lutheran Church. She will take office in June and lead the fifty-thousand-member denomination, focusing on Bible-based Protestant work in eastern and southern Kenya. Musau, who was ordained in two thousand three, has led the Kilifi Deanery for the past two years amid strong patriarchal traditions. Her election marks progress toward equality in the church, which has often faced hurdles for women in top roles due to culture and selective Bible interpretations. Musau plans to prioritize mission work, evangelism, leadership training, and compassionate service, while also boosting financial transparency and mentoring younger women. As the church grows its partnerships worldwide, Musaus focus on integrity and womens roles could strengthen trust and expand its reach across twenty-five Kenyan counties.
