Kenyan Catholic and Anglican leaders urge calm electioneering

Nairobi (ENI). Kenya's Roman Catholic cardinal-designate, and its Anglican archbishop are both calling for calm, tolerance and respectful electioneering for polls that the Electoral Commission of Kenya announced will be held on 27 December. "We wish to appeal to every Kenyan without exception to maintain and safeguard peace, calm and non-violence. All of us, from whatever part of the country we come, or whatever political views we hold, are children of God," said Archbishop John Njue, whom Pope Benedict XVI named as a cardinal on 17 October.
