Adopting a grassroots approach, this chapter argues that in its response to, and appropriation of, missionary teachings, the early Anglican Church in Kenya was heavily indebted to indigenous models and experiences for its impetus, dynamism, and direction. The author’s findings are compared with related studies elsewhere in Africa, especially in Uganda, to ask why the Anglican Church in Kenya was different, and to point to what was distinctly its own. The study focuses on central Kenya because it is inhabited by a relatively homogeneous people. It discusses three elements of central Kenya’s culture that shaped its response to Christianity: its pragmatic nature, its conflict resolution mechanism, and its desire to master and exercise power. The period of study starts with the arrival of the first missionary in 1900 and ends in 1932 with the young Church having overcome its first major crisis.
