I am immensely grateful for your generosity. To my research assistants Norah Kirabo, Nelly Arikuru and Jimmy Candia I am equally indebted. My research has benefitted tremendously from your tireless help and insights. Thank you! For helping me getting started with my fieldwork, as well as being a helpful support along the way, I am grateful to Jacque Nakiwala and Ronald Kamara from the HIV/AIDS Focal Point at Uganda Catholic Secretariat. Philip Govule, the Diocesan HIV/AIDS Focal person in Arua diocese has been an invaluable support throughout this research and at the same time a great friend. In KCCC in Kampala, my thanks go especially to Godfrey Mabiriizi for being a significant contact person throughout the fieldwork. At Makerere University, I am grateful for the initial help of Dr. Edward Kirumira, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, for setting up my research affiliation and being extremely helpful with securing research clearance from Uganda National Council for Science and Technology. At Makerere, the Child Health & Development Centre also became a basis of inspiration and networking, especially through the Working Group on Social and Political Aspects of AIDS in Uganda. In connection with the Working Group, as well as the Anthropological East Africa network in Denmark, I had many inspirational conversations with Jenipher Twebaze, Lisa Richey, Lotte Meinert and Susan and Michael Whyte. For offering me a second home in Kampala I am mostly indebted to my in- laws, the Tenywa family. I am also grateful for the hospitality and friendship our neighbours in Kisaasi showed my husband and I, especially Dan Matwire and Sharon Mutanga. Many thanks are due to Uganda Radio Network, and in particular ‘Baba Tony’ for all his help. In Arua, our neighbours the Anguyo family was an invaluable source of support and friendship. A special thanks goes to Lorna for her tireless efforts in trying to teach me Lugbara. I am also grateful to the staff at Arua diocese’s Communication Centre for allowing me to use their internet café as an office space. On the financial side, this PhD project has primarily been funded by the Faculty of Theology at the University of Copenhagen. But for the fieldwork in Uganda I wish to acknowledge the financial support of University of Copenhagen’s fund for Theology Students and Candidates, the Nordic Africa Institute and the Danish Council for Development Research (FFU). The main academic support and guidance for this dissertation has come from my supervisor Niels Kastfelt at the Centre of African studies, and my co-supervisor Lisa Ann Richey at Roskilde University. The different kinds of insights and critical questions you have brought to this project have been enriching. The research network on AIDS & Religion in Africa, which was established in June 2007, has been a critical source of inspiration and academic dialogue, while working on this PhD project. From the network, I especially wish to thank Rijk van Dijk, Marian Burchardt and Amy Patterson. I am grateful as well to all my colleagues at the Centre of African Studies for creating a great working environment. Thanks especially to Stig Jensen, Charlotte Zoey Søndergaard, Julie Oxenvad, Søren Gilsaa, Amanda Hammer and Troels Baagland. At the Graduate School of International Development Studies, Roskilde University, I am grateful to Christian Lund and Laurids Lauridsen for allowing me to participate in the PhD seminars. The ‘substitute’ PhD environment I had at IDS has been invaluable, and I thank all the PhD students there for sharing the ups and downs of a PhD project and providing helpful comments on chapter drafts. I also wish to thank the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala, where I spent three months in 2008 as a research fellow under the ‘Gender, Sexuality and HIV/AIDS’ research cluster. At NAI, Elina Oinas was, in particular, a great source of inspiration and motivation. A number of fellow PhD students have read and commented on earlier versions of this dissertation; my sincerest gratitude goes to Lene Bull Christiansen, Catrine Christiansen and Noelle Colquhoun Sullivan. I wish especially to thank Catrine Christiansen for her friendship and the help and encouragements she provided in the last phase of writing this dissertation. For copy-editing assistance I am grateful to Osama Hamza, Ishmail Nyanzi, and especially my sister Hanne Kvalheim – who has as always been one of the most reliable sources of support (and thanks to Magnus Kvalheim for looking after the twins in the meantime). I am also grateful to my close friends Tove Keldsen and Annette Jonsson for their many encouragements along the way; a special thanks to Tove for helping me with the front-page. The one person who has been a steady support throughout most of this project has been my husband Silas. Your patience and sense of humour, especially in the last couple of months, has been invaluable. I cannot begin to thank you for the many ways in which you have contributed to this project. I dedicate this dissertation to you, and to our future together. Thank you – webale nyo – awa’difo saru! Table of contents MAP OF UGANDA I MAP OF KAMPALA DISTRICT I MAP OF ARUA DISTRICT III 1.

  • Circular MSFS-EAP-Mathew02 170930
    Provincial Circular EAP – MT.02 Sept. 30th, 2017 My dear Confreres! Fraternal Greetings to all of you on our Founder’s day! Today, we are commemorating the 155th death anniversary of our beloved Founder Fr. Peter Marie Mermier (1790 – 1962). The exemplary life and ministry of our Founder at the service of the Church and the people of God continues to inspire us to be dedicated missionaries in the contemporary world. Although the milieu and many generations have changed, the thirst for the Word of God continues in our times too, especially in Africa. Bishop Joseph Ray instructed the first missionaries to study St. Francis de Sales, to imitate his virtues and to follow his method of teaching in our missionary endeavours. He also told them that “people generally speak of the gentleness of Saint Francis de Sales and they are right. But according to me it does not bring out fully his characteristic trait. His gentleness appears to me to be but a means of exercising his ZEAL. His characteristic trait is zeal” (A. Duval).It is this zeal that echoed in the life and ministry of Fr. Mermier. He invites each one of us to be zealous missionaries. Africa was his first dream land for evangelization. That dream is being fulfilled through all of us. Let us never flag in our zeal for the mission of Christ in Africa. "To God alone be honour and glory" (Soli Deo honor et gloria) The Provincial Congress The Provincial Congress of the Province of East Africa began on 22 nd September 2017 with the Mass of the Holy Spirit presided over by Rev.
