Biskop Stefano Reuben Moshi leder konfirmationsprocessionen från en kyrka i Mamba, nära Marangu. I hans ungdom fick han undervisning i Bibeln av Filipo Njau, som också blev hans mentor. Senare blev han Lutherska kyrkans skicklige och visionäre förste presiderande biskop, inte bara i Tanzania utan också i All Africa Conference of Churches och Lutheran Federation. Filipo Njau var alltid stolt över honom. Biskop Stefano Reuben Moshi levde mellan 1906-1976. När Filipo Njau dog 1976 ledde han begravningsceremonien och lovordade Filipo Njaus insatser för Tanzania och framhöll att han hade varit en visionär man som praktiserade vad han lärde och predikade. Han hade varit en pionjär och trott på jämlikheten mellan könen, något som var mycket främmande för folks tänkesätt på den tiden. Filipo Njau var i det fallet en kontroversiell och framsynt personlighet med stor omtanke om sina medmänniskor. Han bekymrade sig med samma välvilja och generositet om dem som gillade, som om dem som ogillade honom.Foto: Bo Lundberg

Here Bishop Stefeno Reuben Moshi leads confirmation procession ceremony from a church in Mamba, close to Marangu. During his youth he received Bible teachings, from Filipo Njau, who also became his mentor. Later on he became the first presiding bishop of the Lutheran Church, bringing skills and vision not only in Tanzania, but in the All Africa Conference of Churches and the Lutheran Federation. Filipo Njau was always proud of him. Bishop Stefano Reauben Moshi lived from 1906-1976.When Filipo Njau died in 1976 he took part and lead his burial ceremony and praised Filipo Njau's achievements in Tanzania and that he was a visionary man who practced what he learned and preached. Pioneered and believed in the equality between the sexes something that was very foreign in the minds and souls of the people who lived around his time. Filipo Njau was in this case a contraversial personality and far sighted personality with great compassion for his fellow human beings.He also cared with the same kindness and generosity for all those who liked him or disliked him .Photo: Bo Lundberg
