1) Please consult the DACB All Potential Subjects page or the KENYA page to see if the DACB already has a biography of the person you wish to write on. Each country index has a link at the top to the Potential Subjects page for that country. If the DACB does have a story on your subject, please ensure that your biography contains NEW information or a different perspective so as to avoid creating duplicate material.
2) DACB-Wiki is a history project, not a “Who’s Who” of living subjects, and as such, does not accept biographies of living people. There are issues of discretion that arise when writing about individuals who are still alive. Biographies of living subjects will be removed. It also follows, then, that autobiographies are not acceptable.

Arthur Gathuna was one of the early leaders of the Kikuyu Karing'a Education Association and was instrumental in leading the Christians who had left the Scottish Presbyterian Mission churches to form the African Orthodox Church in Kiambu in Central Kenya. Gathuna was trained to be a priest by Archbishop Daniel Alexander of the African Orthodox Church in South Africa during his 16 month visit to Kenya in 1936. Gathuna was ordained as a priest along with two others by Archbishop Alexander shortly before his departure for South Africa.
