This book has consistently argued that Holy Communion symbols were imported food products in the sacramental life of the Anglican Church in Kenya. The main question it poses to readers is how these imported symbols have been understood in the ecclesiastical context of Kenya, as symbols are context bound. In addition, it shows diverse meanings that these symbols were given. Though what remains outstanding is that Eurocentric roots still prevail because ecclesiastical imperialism is still alive in many mainline Churches in Africa. The book has identified the fundamental role that Kikuyu way of life plays in this rite. However, it has demonstrated that the central aspects of Kikuyu ways of life has been neglected and thus not fully integrated in the Christian faith. The book has highlighted the conservative nature of the Anglican Church in Kenya as one of the setbacks hindering the inculturation of the Holy Communion symbols. Furthermore theological and cultural factors are cited asmajor hindrances.
