Abstract
When Pope John Paul II visited Kenya in 1995 to launch Ecclesia in Africa, he reiterated the resolve of the gathering to implement a family Church. The communities, according to this papal teaching, should be those that pray and listen to God’s word, encourage the members themselves to take up responsibilities, learn to live like Christ and reflect human problems in the light of the Gospel. The study evaluated the presence of males in small Christian communities in Tenden Sub-Parish, Kapcherop Parish, Diocese of Eldoret, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive approach. It used purposive and stratified sampling to identify 12 key informants, comprising priests, Deacons, Seminarians, and SCC leaders. The study employed questionnaires and interviews to collect data. Secondary data was generated from various libraries. Generally, there is low male participation in SCCs. The main reason given was the perception that SCCs tended to subvert the traditional dominant role of males in the Marakwet society. Therefore, SCCs need to undertake awareness on the church-intended roles of SCCs.
