A 20-minute multi-media presentation highlighted the wide range of the Archbishop’s ministry and travels throughout the entire country. Guests were invited to pledge financial support for the Archbishop’s vision for the next five years and to express areas of interest in active partnership. Approximately 40 million shillings was pledged and more than 60 people returned cards indicating partnership interest in these five areas: • Northern Uganda resettlement programme • Training church leaders • Evangelism and Archbishop’s pastoral travels • Empowering youth against HIV/AIDS • Archbishop’s outreach to the corporate community Guest of Honour, Retired Archbishop Livingstone Mpalanyi-Nkoyoyo, said that the “church impacts all aspects of society,” which is why all sectors of the society were gathered at the function. “The church is a key stakeholder in the development of our nation.” He thanked the current Archbishop, Henry Luke Orombi, for “keeping the flag flying high since my handover.” He also thanked him for continuing to use him and involve him in the life of the church and encouraged all Bishops in the Church of Uganda to view retired Bishops and clergy as assets in the church’s ministry.

    The role of evangelical leadership in Uganda for effective church ministry: a strategic practical theological study by Asea. B.K. Wilson BA (Hons), MA (Theology) Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Philosophiae Doctor in Pastoral Studies at the North-West University - Potchefstroom Campus Promoter: Prof. Dr. Rantoa. S. Letšosa November 2012 Declaration I hereby declare that this PhD thesis: The role of the evangelical leadership in Uganda for effective church ministry: a strategic practical theological study is my own work and has not been submitted by me to any other university. ASEA. B.K. WILSON North-West University Potchefstroom Campus South Africa November 2012 i Abstract God is the ultimate leader, and the church leadership mandate and responsibility is from Him. The Lord prepares those He calls to take leadership responsibilities. He does not intend to use persons who are not properly equipped and developed to occupy high leadership positions in the church. Hence church leaders in evangelical churches in Uganda who wish to be proficiently used by God should be holistically trained in theology and leadership for effective church ministry and church growth. However, lack of proper leadership training poses a huge challenge to evangelical churches in Uganda. The traditional theological educational system in Uganda is too academic, paying too little attention to practical relevance; to pastoral ministry, mission and spiritual formation. In addition, the weak relationship of many Pentecostal leaders with theological training in Uganda has led to dead intellectualism and heresy upon heresy. As such these church leaders do not address the felt needs of the church correctly.

  • Anglican Church of Uganda Welcomes a New Archbishop Flip Buys (Associate International Director WRF) [email protected]
    Anglican Church of Uganda welcomes a New Archbishop Flip Buys (Associate International Director WRF) [email protected] Did you know that on any given Sunday more people are worshipping in Anglican Churches in Uganda than in all the Anglican Churches in Britain, Canada and all the Episcopalian Churches in the US combined? I had the privilege to represent World Reformed Fellowship at the joyful installation service of Right Reverend Stanley Ntagali as the 8th Archbishop of the Church of Uganda on Sunday, the 16th of December, at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Namirembe in Uganda. What a blessing to taste something of the vibrant and joyful worship of these brothers and sisters in Christ! More than 3,000 people attended the colourful ceremony, including His Excellency the President, political leaders, business leaders, and all the bishops of the Church of Uganda. Ten Archbishops (Primates) from other provinces in the Anglican communion were also present – Burundi, Rwanda, Sudan, Kenya, Indian Ocean, Nigeria, Jerusalem and the Middle East, England, Scotland, and North America – along with other bishops from Kenya, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Australia, United States of America, and England. The Most Rev. John Sentamu, Archbishop of York and a Ugandan by birth, represented the Archbishop of Canterbury and read a letter of greeting and congratulations from the Archbishop of Canterbury. After serving for nine years as Archbishop, the Most Rev. Henri Luke Orombi (a Board member of WRF) officially handed over the spiritual rod (a cross) to his successor, now the Most Rev. Stanley Ntagali, symbolizing the transfer of spiritual authority from one Archbishop to another.

  • By Raymond Baguma the Anglican Church of Uganda Has Consecrated
    By Raymond Baguma THE Anglican Church of Uganda has consecrated an American priest as bishop to oversee Christian congregations that have split from the main Episcopal Church in the US over the issue of homosexuality. John Guernsey was consecrated at St. James Cathedral in Mbarara town yesterday in a ceremony, presided over by the Church of Uganda Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi. He was assisted by bishops from Canada, Argentina, Kenya, Rwanda and Nigeria, and priests from the US. Prime Minister Prof. Apollo Nsibambi represented President Yoweri Museveni. Guernsey, who has been the Vicar of All Saint’s Church in the parish of Woodbridge, Virginia, will return to the US and lead the 33 parishes that have recognized the Church of Uganda’s authority. “As I assume this responsibility of providing Episcopal oversight and care for the church of Uganda congregations in the US, I am excited about helping these churches catch the fire of mission which the Church of Uganda so passionately demonstrates”, Guernsey said. “In America, we must recapture the priority of evangelism, the urgency of outreach into our communities and the need to reach young people and raise leaders of the next generations. I pray that the spirit of revival comes to us where so many are lost.” Guernsey’s consecration came just three days after Kenya’s Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi consecrated two American priests as bishops. The 77 million-strong Anglican Communion has been split since its 2.4 million- member US branch consecrated Gene Robinson as the first gay bishop four years ago. The US Church accuses Africans of invading their turf.
