Some years ago, deaf people in Nyahururu town walked out of some churches, including Catholic and formed “The Church for the Deaf" - standardmedia.co.ke
Their action was a protest because they were not following what was going on in those churches during Sunday services since there were no sign language interpreters.
Unfortunately, the Church of the Deaf collapsed due to what was said to be lack of ability of the person who spearheaded the formation to interpret the Bible because he was a layperson.
Bishop Joseph Mbatia of the Nyahururu Catholic Diocese was at hand to welcome this special group to the church. The bishop interacted with them after the Sunday service where he also learnt a few signs like that of greeting a deaf person.
He told them: “You are welcome and bring many others to the church.”
