  • The Martyrs of Uganda
    JUNE 3, 2012 – TRINITY SUNDAY THE MARTYRS OF UGANDA Each year on June 3, the Episcopal Church commemorates the Martyrs of Uganda, the 32 men who were killed between 1885 and 1887 for failing to renounce Christianity – 12 of whom were burned to death on June 3, 1886. The Rev. Canon Petero Sabune, the Episcopal Church’s officer for Africa, explains: “In 1884 Mwanga the son of Mutesa, ascended to the throne of his father and demanded total obedience from his subjects. When Mwanga, who, like his father, had embraced Christianity, converted to Islam, he issued a decree stipulating that anyone caught reading the Bible would be executed. “A group of Catholics and Anglicans at the royal court of Buganda had started reading the Bible in preparation The Uganda Martyrs’ Shrine, in Namugongo, Uganda, built in 1973 for baptism before the decree went out. Afterward, the older members of the group continued to teach the younger ones in secret, and the church continued underground within the royal court and around the villages in Mengo, Rubaga, Kamapla, and Namugongo. Collect for the Martyrs of Uganda “On November 15, 1885, Mwanga carried out his O God, by your providence the blood of the threat and ordered the execution of Yosefu Mukasa martyrs is the seed of the Church: Grant that we Balikuddembe. Yosefu became the first to join the who remember before you the blessed martyrs of ancient African martyrs Cyprian, Felicity, Perpetua, Uganda, may, like them, be steadfast in our faith and Augustine in faith and in death. in Jesus Christ, to whom they gave obedience, “In the two years that followed, the king went on a even to death, and by their sacrifice brought forth killing spree.

  • An Analysis of the Epistemic Link Between the Catholic Religion and Violence in Uganda’S History
    An Analysis of the Epistemic Link between the Catholic Religion and Violence in Uganda’s History Kizito Kiyimba [email protected] Abstract Uganda’s recent history of violence has had an interesting characteristic: it has arguably been mainly within the Christian and more specifically Catholic religious space. I examine four cases of religious-related violence in order to cipher the epistemic roots of such violence. The four cases are: the Uganda Martyrs; Ms Alice Lakwena and the Holy Spirit Movement; Mr Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army; and Ms Ceredonia Mwerinde and the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God. I examine the literature critically in order to test the plausibility of various positions on the possible link between the Catholic religion and violence in Uganda. My analysis looks at the links both from the point of view of the perpetrators of violence and the adherent/victims of the violence. In the end, I find that the epistemic links are more justificatory/explanatory than they are causal. Keywords: Religious violence, epistemics of violence, Uganda, Roman Catholicism Introduction: Theoretical Background Violence in the Great Lakes Region of Africa in general, and violence in Uganda in particular, are not new phenomena. And if we consider the Great Lakes region as including the Horn of Africa, then violence in the Great Lakes Region has had a religious hue to it. A.B.K Kasozi has done a ground-breaking study of violence in Uganda (Kasozi 1994). His study has presented a causal Journal for the Study of Religion 30,1 (2017) 26 – 51 26 On-line ISSN 2413-3027; DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2413-3027/2017/v30n1a2 The Catholic Religion and Violence in Uganda’s History structure that explains why Uganda seems to be uniquely violent.

Together with the lay martyrs from Uganda, we look forward towards the forthcoming Assembly of the African Synod of Bishops. In his message for the occasion, the Holy Father reminded us of the three key words - contemplation, communion and mission - which John Paul II entrusted to CA at Loreto in 2004. He also referred to the “programme” which Paul VI presented to CA laypeople, precisely in Namugongo in 1969 and which is still relevant today.

  • Koch Foundation 2011 Annual Report
    Mission Statement Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the fi nances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization eff orts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but fi nancially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference. Carl and Paula Koch 2 Letter From The Executive Director I have been blessed in my life to have had several family members who chose to dedicate their lives in service to God, so there has never been a time when I did not visit my relatives and see a cousin dressed all in black with a worn yet beloved Rosary tucked carefully into her simple belt. I can remember as a young child Sister teaching me to say the Rosary and telling me that whenever I attended Mass I was to pray the Rosary. That memory has stayed with me into adulthood and, when I became a mother, the Rosary took on a special and personal meaning. I found I was praying the Rosary more often and usually for something concerning my son and family. I began to realize that I needed the solace I could only fi nd by praying the Rosary. Like many parents, in addition to my work at the Foundation I am also my son’s chauff eur, carting him to and from various sports events.
