Parents with youthful children have been urged to counsel them accordingly so that they may not get wasted by the changing cultures.
St Paul’s University lecturer Rev Prof Kabiru Gatumu said children should listen to their parents and obey them.
He said the world is changing very fast and much needs to be done to resue the young generation from the negative influences of technology.
The lecturer decried that if the society does not take part in advising their children, the country is at risk of descending into moral decay.
“Some of these values can only be taught by parents. We don't want to see people getting mixed up by technology,” he said.
“The church cannot do that. Its role is to offer advice to parents so that they can counsel their children adequately. It is difficult to advise a person whose parents do not counsel them from home."
He spoke at the ongoing Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science (ECLAS)-Africa conference at the varsity Main Hall in the Limuru campus.
The annual conference is based on the perceived conflict between Science and Theology and the need to bridge the gap between the two disciplines for effective policy formulation that promotes life and God’s creation.
The conference was officially opened by the acting deputy vice chancellor of academic affairs Prof Diphus Chemorion and acting DVC in charge of finance and administration Rev Truphie Kwaka-Sumba.
Naomi Wanjiru, a student noted that the outcome of the conference will help society since the current generation does almost everything online from studying to online shopping and dating.
