- In a "Dunbar commentary," Dr. Willis Dunbar discusses the skepticism and pessimism which he has seen follow in the wake of World War II. Dunbar argues that many of the problems which seem current and pressing have existed for decades, but that a rise in literacy and education have increased public awareness of them. Dunbar says that the solution for going forward is, through regulation and control, to place the common good before personal gain.

- Description:
- In this article, Macharia Munene discusses the roles of religion and culture in conflict creation and resolution in both pre and post-colonial Kenya. Noting the cultural heterogeneity of Kenya and the often not-so-holy intentions of the church, he highlights the major events in Kenyan History in which the church and Kenyan cultural institutions and practices, especially oathing, have played major roles in conflict enhancement and reduction. The article focuses on three major periods of Kenyan History: The colonial era, the Kenyatta era, and the Moi era. In each era, he captures and comments on the key events involving conflict and the interventions made by religious authorities as well as persons abusing cultural practices in trying to achieve their selfish motives.
