Wanjiku’s Contribution to the Christological Debate

Abstract

The name “Wanjiku” in its ordinary Kenyan usage represents the unprofes-sional, marginalized and voiceless people who have worthwhile life-experiences to contribute to the life’s banquet but whose ideas never reach the discussions board room. For my case here, Wanjiku would represent the humble Christians at Ndaragwa Catholic Parish in Nyahururu Diocese of Central Kenya whom I interviewed in February 2011 to know who they say Jesus is to them. It is clear from them that they have tried to “name Jesus” in a personal way which facilitates their encounter with God. I have tried to present their contribution as faithfully as I could, though I knit the fabric of their unity of thought in my own artistic way.
