Zender
also said that one of the important missions of their visit was on family
projects by the Catholic Church in Kenya especially to enquire about the plan
to open the English Speaking Africa John Paul II Institute for Marriage and
Family Life. Since the Institute failed to be opened in Zambia, as was
initially planned, there is a process of consultation the Bishops of AMECEA to
help in identifying an alternative Conference or diocese in the Region.
