LOWELL, Mass.,__Embattled pastor of the Kenyan community St. Stephen church in Lowell stepped down as main pastor and all administrative responsibilities. The unexpected development came through a 1 sentence statement read by Purity Muraya, a member of the board of directors, at the start of an unusually well attended service.

Reliable sources indicated that many parishioners, including some who had filed the court case against Kimohu, as well as others who had left the church in recent years when the disputes started had come back ready for a showdown to vote out the pastor after weeks of boardroom maneuvering failed to bear fruits.

However, Kimohu's move effectively thwarted the acrimonious situation, paving the way for a widely expected healing of bitter divisions and revival of one of the oldest Kenyan community churches in the region. The move came barely two weeks after the long serving pastor was welcomed back to the church in an emotional ceremony following a 9 month hiatus occasioned by a draining court battle against the American Anglican church, the affiliated oversight body that defrocked him due to allegations of "insubordination".
