    Book Review Bishop Alfred Robert Tucker and the Establishment of the African Anglican Church, Christopher Byaruhanga Word Alive Publishers, Nairobi. 2008. 234 pages ISBN: 978-9-966-80508-9 Reviewed by: Julius Gathogo Kenyatta University University of South Africa [email protected] [email protected] Christopher Byaruhanga is an ordained priest in the Church of the Province of Uganda. He is also a professor of historical theology at Uganda Christian University. In his book, Bishop Alfred Robert Tucker and the Establishment of the African Anglican Church (2008), he successfully introduces Alfred Tucker (1849-1914), the third and last bishop of the so-called diocese of Eastern Equatorial Africa, which lasted from 1884 to 1897, as the most successful and illustrious European missionary in the twentieth century in Eastern Africa. In turn, the diocese of Eastern Equatorial Africa covered the present day Kenya, Northern Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. While Tucker is the third bishop of the so-called diocese of Eastern Equatorial Africa, James Hannington (1847–1885) was its first bishop, and Henry Perrot Parker (1852-1888) was its second bishop. Due to the success of Alfred Tucker, the diocese grew rapidly during his primacy that began in 1890 and ended in 1897, after which it was sub-divided into the diocese of Uganda, now under Alfred Tucker, and the diocese of Mombasa under Bishop William George Peel (1854–1916). According to Byaruhanga (2008), Tucker, who was educated at Oxford University and later Cambridge before ordination to priesthood in 1882, was sent by the Church Missionary Society to spearhead the Anglican activities in Eastern Africa after the sudden death of Bishop Henry Perrot Parker, who died of a heavy bout of malaria while on his way to Usagara near Mwanza in northern Tanganyika (renamed Tanzania) in April 1888.

Tucker’s immediate response to this news of the loss of one of the Mombasa missionaries was to acknowledge “the intense anguish of my mind when with such tidings ringing in my ears and feeling physically weak and ill I set foot for the first time on the shores of Africa.”1 It would be far from the last death among the Church Missionary Society personnel in his twenty-one year episcopacy in East Africa but, with the history of death in the East African endeavour and the uncertainty of his own well-being so close at hand, the gravity of the greeting elicited the anxiety laden response recorded above.

How does the legacy of the pioneer European missionaries to Eastern Africa (I refer to Krapf, Hannington, Tucker, Parker, McGregor, Crawford, Beecher among others) contribute to the current state of affairs in mission education and the establishment of St. Andrew’s College in particular? The materials in this article are largely gathered through extensive reading of relevant literature, face-to-face interviews, oral sources and archival sources. The article coincides with the 40th anniversary celebration of St Andrew’s College, Kabare – that began in 1977 as an institute for mission and evangelism. Through showcasing St Andrew’s, the article has methodologically revisited the 19th and 20th European missionary legacy that inspired the current growth of the church in Eastern Africa. In turn, it has established that despite the gains so far made, there is still room in authenticating theological education in Eastern Africa and the rest of the tropical Africa. Key words Theo-mission studies; holistic education; theological education in Kenya; mission histories in Eastern Africa 1.

  • A Contextual Interpretation of Archbishop Janani Luwum’S Model of Non-Violence Resistance and Church - State Relations in Contemporary Uganda
    A CONTEXTUAL INTERPRETATION OF ARCHBISHOP JANANI LUWUM’S MODEL OF NON-VIOLENCE RESISTANCE AND CHURCH - STATE RELATIONS IN CONTEMPORARY UGANDA Kisekka Wilson Supervisor: Dr. S. R. Kumalo Submitted in partial fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Master of Theology (Ministerial) in the school of Religion and Theology, Faculty of Humanities, Development and Social Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg 2008 DECLARATION I, KISEKKA WILSON hereby declare that this thesis, unless specified in the text, is my original work. I further declare that I have not submitted this thesis for any other purpose at any Institution or University. Signature………………………. Date............................................ KISEKKA WILSON As Supervisor I agree to the submission of this thesis ………………………………………………………. …………….. Rev. Dr. S. Kumalo Date ABSTRACT This thesis is aimed at making a contextual interpretation of Luwum’s model of non- violent resistance and church-state relations in contemporary Uganda. The thesis reconstructs Archbishop Luwum’s life and explores the roots and the formative factors that shaped his thoughts and actions. It notes that the influence of the Acholi culture, early school life, the early Ugandan martyrs, Balokole theology, his theological studies, his ecclesiastical position, his parents and the writings and works of Martin Luther King Jr. shaped and refined his worldview. All of these factors provided grounding for his political and theological articulations of non-violent resistance and church-state relations. The thesis argues the principles of non-violent resistance are in harmony with the Christian understanding of shalom. Thus the church which upholds the principle of justice, love, truth and suffering will find non-violent resistance models an important tool for fighting injustices.
