The Fearless Archbishop - Retired Archbishop Raphael S. Ndingi Mwana a’Nzeki’s journey to priesthood can best be summed up as a journey of trials and tribulations that saw him attend seminaries run by no-nonsense fathers in Kenya and Tanzania. Ndingi Persevered through the hardships but not by simply conforming. He would occasionally challenge the authority whenever he felt that those in administration were abit too hard on the seminarians. It is this ability to stand up to authority which actually marked Ndingi out and probably defines his life in the service of the church.
