From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter Obare Omwanza is the presiding bishop (in apostolic succession) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya, which belongs to Lutheran World Federation. He became famous in Sweden and Finland at 5 February 2005 when he with some other Lutheran bishops consecrated a Swedish pastor Arne Olsson as bishop for Mission Province in Church of Sweden, because of conflicting views with Church of Sweden about Ordination of women. After this, the Council of the Lutheran World Federation terminated Obare's tenure as adviser on 1 September 2005 [1].
