 Like many other Anglican churches, the Anglican Church of Kenya is a member of the ecumenical World Council of Churches.In October 2009, the Kenyan Church's leadership reacted to the Vatican's proposed creation of personal ordinariates for disaffected traditionalist Anglicans by saying that although he welcomed ecumenical dialogue and shared moral theology with the Catholic Church, the current GAFCON structures already meet the spiritual and pastoral needs of conservative Anglicans in Africa.The Anglican Church of Kenya is a member of the Global South and the Global Anglican Future Conference.
