Abstract

The aim of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of child socialization in the Anglican episcopacy of Embu, Kenya. The article delves into socialization in the ecclesiastical circles pertaining to integral development models for teenagers in terms of their physical (body), spiritual (soul), emotional (mind) and social values. In particular, the Anglican Church socializes her children in order to help them grow and become strong Christians; and this is ideally done to mould them from an early age in all dimensions of life, namely: morally, socially and spiritually. However, in spite of being socialized through different rites of passage, the youth members are battling with different forms of moral concerns. The article suggests that there is need for the Anglican Church to re-evaluate her socialization programmes in order to minimize moral decadency among the youth.
