Kenya Court Gives Interim Win To Adventist Students On Sabbath Observance

In Kenya last July, the Seventh Day Adventist Church's Kenya Union Mission filed suit against the Ministry of Education and 26 schools seeking to have Adventist students excused, for religious reasons, from Friday evening and Saturday classes and exams. Now, as reported by the Adventist News Network (June 3) and Standard Digital News (May 27), a Kenya High Court judge has issued an interim order providing:

All principals, administrators and BoGs of all public high schools be and are hereby restrained from in any manner whatsoever, preventing or impeding SDA students attending the schools in question from conducting worship during the hours between sunset on Friday and sunset on Saturday
