This paper explores the origin and development of the Legio Maria Church in Kenya. The paper discusses how the church was founded by Simeo Melkio Ondetto and Mama Maria, and how the church's teachings and practices have evolved over time. The paper also examines the role of the church in promoting social and political change in Kenya, particularly in relation to its anti-racist black liberation theology. Finally, the paper discusses the challenges that the Legio Maria Church has faced over the years, including conflicts with other religious groups and internal divisions. Overall, this paper provides insight into the origin and development of the Legio Maria Church in Kenya and its unique contributions to African religious diversity and spirituality.},
