Mass Baptisms are a common phenomenon in Kenya and throughout Africa, both in the churches of the Patriarchate of Alexandria and those of the African Exarchate of the Russian Church.
Most recently in Kenya, OrthoChristian reported on the Baptism of 29 children and adults at St. Tabitha’s Orphanage in Malava in August last year, and on the Baptism of 16 children at the Ngando Orthodox Christian School and Community Learning Center in October of this year.
