NAIROBI, Kenya — The model of parish in East Africa is based on small Christian communities, but the church in Kenya actually has three virtual communities.

By going to smallchristiancommunities.org, a person can click on a link to access a virtual community.

Maryknoll Father Joseph Healey, who teaches a class on small Christian communities at three Kenyan universities, helped set up the virtual communities using a public Facebook page.

The communities meet together to pray, study Scripture and help others. Online communities are limited to six people.
