This evening we – Dr. Collver, Dr. Rodewald, Rev. Trump — had the opportunity to visit with Archbishop Obare at his home in Nairobi, Kenya. As a gift, we were able to present Archbishop Obare with a copy of Kitabu Cha Mwafaka, that is, the Book of Concord in Swahili.
Although Archbishop Obare was aware of the Book of Concord project in Swahili, this is the first time he had seen it. The Book of Concord was translated into Swahili by Lutheran Heritage Foundation. The ELCK’s seminary hopes to make use of the Swahili Book of Concord in the future.
The Augsburg Confession in Swahili.
