Letter from Africa
Tina Leonard shares some of the correspondence from African Friend Oliver Kisaka Simiyu, who was until recently deputy general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Kenya.
In February Oliver was invited to Burkina Faso to make a one-hour presentation on how churches in Kenya had responded to the 2007 post-election violence.
