In the Migori deanery of the Russian Orthodox Church (Kenya), priests of the Exarchate of the ROC are expelled from churches again and again, but Kenyan clerics are building new churches in their own plots. Metropolitan Leonid (Gorbachev), Patriarchal Exarch of the Russian Orthodox Church in Africa, spoke about this in Telegram.

“The expulsion of priests from churches, children from schools continues. This is temporary. Kenyan priests build temples on their plots. Of course, this is not what we used to see when we talk about temples. But we will get through this. The domes of temples will shine, spiritual life will improve, there will be schools and medical centers! Mark my words.

In the meantime, we are celebrating divine Liturgies,” said Metropolitan Leonid.

Earlier, the Kenyan clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church performed a memorial service at the grave of a cleric who recently died in an accident.
