"Walking together: much to learn from each other"
A link between the Anglican Dioceses of Peterborough and Bungoma was formed by their two bishops following the Lambeth Conference of 1998. Around 30 individual churches and schools in the dioceses are linked, supporting various projects. There have been several exchange visits. The purpose of the link is one of mutual support and encouragement, spiritually, socially, materially and financially.
