Fitting sendoff for ACK prelate

[Daily Nation] 9 June 2009--I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith,” was how Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi summed up his 31 years in the pulpit.

The quote from Second Timothy 4:7 was the theme of the retirement service of the fourth archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya on Sunday.

Pomp and colour marked the celebrations to honour the service of Dr Nzimbi at the All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi. And gifts flowed, including a brand new car to symbolically give the archbishop a smooth ride into retirement.

As the service committee had anticipated, hundreds of faithful gathered at the cathedral, and many followed the farewell service on screens from tents outside the church.
