Celebrating this unique convergence of these holy seasons this year, the Christians and Muslims religious leaders call on believers of both faiths to pray, fast and offer generous care to less privileged of society. “Today, we gather in a spirit of unity and mutual respect as Muslims enter the blessed month of Ramadan and Christians begin the sacred season of Lent. Fasting, according to religious leaders, should awaken shared national conscience to the suffering of vulnerable Kenyans burdened by public debt, over-taxation, and the struggle to meet basic needs. The clerics say the sacred seasons inspire unity, cooperation, and mutual respect among all faith communities. “May our prayers be accepted as our nations grow stronger through faith and discipline.”They also pray for God to grant peace to the nation and guide them all in justice and compassion.
