An article published by The Elephant reflects on Kenya's #Occupy Churches protests, arguing that faith communities can avoid what it calls the twin pitfalls of State Theology and Church Theology. According to the piece, churches should reclaim the analytical rigour of the Kairos Document — a landmark South African anti-apartheid theological text — and translate political theology into concrete operational action, framing the moment as a critical opportunity for Kenya's religious institutions.

In an interview with The Elephant, Bishop Francis Omondi discusses the relationship between theology and public and political life in Kenya, a question he describes as central and ongoing. The conversation explores the realities and vocabularies this dynamic has produced within the country's public square, examining how religious thought interacts with civic and political discourse.

The Elephant examines the complex relationship between faith, power, and social justice within Kenya's Church. The article questions how the Church can serve as a moral conscience, watchman, and voice for justice while believers accept earthly injustice in hope of heavenly reward. It explores the paradox of preaching justice for the afterlife while tolerating its absence in everyday Kenyan life, probing the institution's role in society and politics.

The article discusses four key figures—the Judge, the Prophet, the Prince, and the Warrior—who played significant roles in the 2007-08 post-election violence in Kenya and have influenced the country's public theological discourse since then. Each figure represents a distinct response to the decline of state authority and offers different solutions to existential challenges, shaping the political-theological landscape until 2024, according to The Elephant.

The Elephant examines the growing intersection of religion and politics in Kenya, arguing that under President William Ruto, the language of faith, providence and moral renewal has become unusually prominent in the exercise of political power. The article notes that the relationship between religious authority and political influence in Kenya is longstanding but complex, and explores how moral populism has evolved into a form of political currency shaping the country's governance and public discourse.

The Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya, Rev. Jackson Ole Sapit, has called on Kenyans to embrace peace and unity and reject divisive politics ahead of the 2027 General Election. Speaking during centenary celebrations at St. Luke's Cathedral in Kitale, he said Trans Nzoia's diverse communities had demonstrated that people from different backgrounds can coexist harmoniously, according to the Kenya News Agency.
