Family Worship Resources Archbishop Janani Luwum Day 16Th February Family Worship Resources Archbishop Janani Luwum Day 16th February OPENING PRAYER O God, whose Son the Good Shepherd laid down his life for the sheep: We give you thanks for your faithful shepherd, Janani Luwum, who after his Saviour’s example gave up his life for the people of Uganda. Grant us to be so inspired by his witness that we make no peace with oppression, but live as those who are sealed with the cross of Christ, who died and rose again, and now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. READ JANANI LUWUM’S BIOGRAPHY1 Janani Luwum was born in 1924 in Mucwini, Chua, to Eliya Okello and Aireni Aciro. His father was a convert to Christianity. Janani was sent to school and eventually became a schoolteacher. In 1948 Janani accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. His conversion was so deep that he gave up teaching to join Church ministry full-time. He became very active in the East African revival movement, and became a lay reader, then a deacon, and then a priest in 1956. He taught at Buwalasi Theological College and later became its Principal. In 1969 he was consecrated bishop of Northern Uganda. Janani Luwum’s leadership focused not only on preaching and spreading the Word of God, but also on the holistic development of people and communities; he repeatedly appealed to Ugandans to live together peacefully and in harmony. He was among the early visionaries for the sustainability of the Church through the Church House Project. In 1974 Janani Luwum became Archbishop of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Boga- Zaire (Eastern DR Congo). It was during a time of widespread terror after Idi Amin had overthrown President Milton Obote three years earlier in 1971. Amin had enacted a policy of repression, arresting anyone suspected of not supporting him. Hundreds of soldiers from the Lango and Acholi tribes were shot down in their barracks. Over the next few years, many Christians were killed for various offenses. A preacher who read over the radio a Psalm which mentioned Israel was shot for this in 1972. As Archbishop, Janani Luwum often went personally to the office of the dreaded State Research Bureau to help secure the release of prisoners. 1 Contributions by James Kiefer, Bp Festo Kivengere, and other recorded testimonials. 1 Tension between the Church and state worsened in 1976. Religious leaders, including Archbishop Luwum, jointly approached Idi Amin to share their concern. They were rebuffed. Nevertheless, Archbishop Luwum continued to attend Government functions. One of his critics accused him of being on the Government side and he replied: "I face daily being picked up by the soldiers. While the opportunity is there I preach the Gospel with all my might, and my conscience is clear before God that I have not sided with the present Government which is utterly self-seeking. I have been threatened many times. Whenever I have the opportunity I have told the President the things the churches disapprove of." Early in 1977, there was a small army rebellion that was put down with only seven men dead. Amin, however, determined to stamp out all traces of dissent. His men killed thousands. On Sunday, 30th January, Bishop Festo Kivengere preached on "The Preciousness of Life" to an audience including many high government officials. He denounced the arbitrary bloodletting, and accused the government of abusing the authority that God had entrusted to it. The government responded on the following Saturday (5th February) by an early morning (1:30am) raid on the home of the Archbishop, Janani Luwum, ostensibly to search for hidden stores of weapons. The Archbishop called on President Amin to deliver a note of protest, signed by nearly all the bishops of Uganda, against the policies of arbitrary killings and the unexplained disappearances of many persons. Amin accused the Archbishop of treason, produced a document supposedly by former President Obote attesting his guilt, and had the Archbishop and two Cabinet members (both committed Christians) arrested and held for military trial. On 16th February, the Archbishop and six bishops were tried on a charge of smuggling arms. Archbishop Luwum was not allowed to reply, but shook his head in denial. The President concluded by asking the crowd: "What shall we do with these traitors?" The soldiers replied "Kill him now." The Archbishop was separated from his bishops. As he was taken away Archbishop Luwum turned to his brother bishops and said: "Do not be afraid. I see God's hand in this." The three (the Archbishop and the two Cabinet members) met briefly with four other prisoners who were awaiting execution, and were permitted to pray with them briefly. Then the three were placed in a Land Rover and not seen alive again by their friends. The government story is that one of the prisoners tried to seize control of the vehicle and that it was wrecked and the passengers killed. The story believed by the Archbishop's supporters is that he refused to sign a confession, was beaten and otherwise abused, and finally shot. Luwum’s body was placed in a sealed coffin and soldiers secretly transported his desecrated body to Mucwini (his ancestral home and birthplace), and dumped it in a hurriedly-dug grave at the church yard at Wii Gweng on 19th February 1977. The villagers, however, were not satisfied with a sealed coffin. When they opened it, they discovered the bullet holes in his body. In the capital city of Kampala a crowd of about 4,500 gathered for a memorial service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Namirembe, on 20th February. A grave had been prepared for him 2 next to that of the 1885 martyred Bishop, James Hannington. At the open grave, former Archbishop Erica Sabiti quoted the words of the angels at the empty tomb of Jesus, "He is not here, He is risen!" Instantly the Martyrs Song burst out with such power that "Glory, glory, hallelujah" was heard from that hilltop far into the city. In Nairobi, about 10,000 gathered for another memorial service. Bishop Kivengere was informed that he was about to be arrested, and he and his family fled to Kenya, as did the widow and children of Archbishop Luwum. The effect of Archbishop Janani Luwum’s martyrdom was expressed prophetically in the words of a lady who came to arrange flowers, as she walked through St. Paul’s Cathedral with several despondent bishops who were preparing for Archbishop Luwum's Memorial Service. She said, "This is going to put us twenty times forward, isn't it?" The following June, about 25,000 Ugandans came to the capital to celebrate the centennial of the first preaching of the Gospel in their country, among the participants were many who had abandoned Christianity, but who had returned to their Faith as a result of seeing the courage of Archbishop Luwum and his companions in the face of death. The assassination of Archbishop Janani Luwum is considered a turning point in Uganda’s history. For the international community, a line had been crossed and they were jolted into an awareness that Amin and his regime had to go. It set the stage for the Tanzanian-led campaign that removed Amin from power two years later. “Today I have become a leader in Christ’s army,” Janani Luwum said when he was converted. Prophetically, he went on to say, “I am prepared to die in the army of Jesus. As Jesus shed his blood for his people, if it is God’s will, I do the same.” READ JOHN 12.23-28 Jesus said, "The hour has now come for the Son of Man to receive great glory. I am telling you the truth: a grain of wheat remains no more than a single grain unless it is dropped into the ground and dies. If it does die, then it produces many grains. Those who love their own life will lose it; those who hate their own life in this world will keep it for life eternal. Whoever wants to serve me must follow me, so that my servant will be with me where I am. And my Father will honor anyone who serves me. "Now my heart is troubled—and what shall I say? Shall I say, ‘Father, do not let this hour come upon me'? But that is why I came—so that I might go through this hour of suffering. Father, bring glory to your name!" Then a voice spoke from heaven, "I have brought glory to it, and I will do so again." DISCUSS 1. In what ways did Archbishop Janani Luwum’s faith give him courage to face death? 2. How did his death make the church stronger? 3. What qualities of his faith do you want in your life, and why? 3 .

Up to three hundred people are believed to have died on that ship, at least one hundred and eleven of them Ugandan. There is no commemoration or social memory of the account. This event is uncanny, incomplete and yet is an insistent memory of the 1978-79 Liberation war, during which the ship sank. From interviews with Ugandan war veterans, and in the tradition of the Luo-speaking Acholi people of Uganda, I present wer, song or poetry, an already existing form of resistance and reclamation, as a decolonizing project.

Dear friend, If you Google the word ‘Easter’ and click on ‘images’ you will see pictures of brightly coloured eggs, bunnies and chicks. You have to scroll down quite a long way to find a picture of the cross and empty tomb. Of course there is a ‘Religious’ button, but the secular world doesn’t really want to know about religion. Perhaps it’s a good thing that we have to search for the true meaning of Easter. Just as at Christmas it takes some effort to get beyond the tinsel and mistletoe to really see the true meaning of the baby in the manger, so too at Easter we have to look hard to see the true meaning of the man on the cross. God does not always make himself obvious to human eyes. Only a few unkempt shepherds and mysterious foreigners caught a glimpse of the Christ- child, and it was a Roman soldier, not the learned scribes, who recognised that ‘truly this man was the Son of God!’ Today, in these unprecedented times of struggle against an invisible virus, we, the people of God, have an unprecedented opportunity to invite people to seek and to find the only known cure for a yet more serious problem.

  • My Formative Years
    1 My Formative Years ON DECEMBER 8, 1931, I WAS BORN to Ms. Maria Nosianta Nakalyango Terugwa Mukulu-Abula-Awawe and Mr. Erika Kapere. My father named me “Senyonjo,” an Egret (Nyonyi-Nyange) clan name from Buganda in Uganda. In Buganda, clans, which are extended ancestral family lineages, are critical identifiers. Each clan is symbolized by a totem, normally an animal, bird, fish, or other object which is considered sacred and inedible for clan members. Each of the clans has a set of male and female names that are exclusive to it. Before one courts a love interest, one must know the beloved’s clan, for clan members are considered brothers and sisters. Thus clan marriages are exogenous; that is, one has to marry from outside his or her clan. Traditionally, one cannot even marry someone from his or her mother’s clan, as that is considered taboo—like marrying your maternal aunt or uncle. The name “Senyonjo” signifies cleanness, perhaps deriv- ing from the clan’s totem: an egret, an immaculately white bird. I understand that my father chose that name because he valued cleanness and wished that I live a clean life. My father might have given me another name such as “Kyeyune,” which means “follow it up immediately.” He did not. I feel that the name “Senyonjo” has shaped my life as I put “love” first of all other pursuits in the uni- verse. Love is the cleanest concept that I can ever imagine in this life and thereafter. I was my mother’s firstborn child. Her two other children were my younger siblings: sister, Meresiane, and brother, Langton; respectively four and nine years younger than me.

  • Perspectives from Philosophical Pragmatism Edited by Katariina Holma and Tiina Kontinen
    “This vital collection offers fresh insight into the nature of citizen engagement. Challenging liberal and universalist framings of democratic participation, the authors focus on people’s everyday habits, practices and experiences of coop- eration for livelihoods and survival. Citizenship is repositioned as a gradual, learned and contextual process that spans public and private life. This highly empirical and theoretically innovative work by African and European scholars is essential reading.” — Jethro Pettit, Emeritus Fellow, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK Practices of Citizenship in East Africa Practices of Citizenship in East Africa uses insights from philosophical prag- matism to explore how to strengthen citizenship within developing countries. Using a bottom-up approach, the book investigates the various everyday practices in which citizenship habits are formed and reformulated. In parti- cular, the book reflects on the challenges of implementing the ideals of transformative and critical learning in the attempts to promote active citizenship. Drawing on extensive empirical research from rural Uganda and Tanzania and bringing forward the voices of African researchers and academics, the book highlights the importance of context in defining how habits and prac- tices of citizenship are constructed and understood within communities. The book demonstrates how conceptualizations derived from philosophical prag- matism facilitate identification of the dynamics of incremental change in citi- zenship. It also provides a definition of learning as reformulation of habits, which helps to understand the difficulties in promoting change. This book will be of interest to scholars within the fields of development, governance, and educational philosophy. Practitioners and policy-makers working on inclusive citizenship and interventions to strengthen civil society will also find the concepts explored in this book useful to their work.

  • 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.

  • Sermon 18 February 2018 1 Peter 3:19-22 and Mark 1:9-15 You
    Sermon 18 February 2018 1 Peter 3:19-22 and Mark 1:9-15 You know that feeling you have at the very beginning of something, when you feel equipped for whatever lies ahead, when you feel you can do anything, achieve anything? For some of us that will come as result of having trained hard for something – maybe a marathon For others it will be when we are confirmed in a calling, I remember when I was licensed as a lay reader, a licensed lay minister, for months I thought was caught up in wow, they think I can do this and I grabbed every opportunity to try something new. For many new Christians, it comes at baptism or confirmation, when turning to face God for the first time, brings light and clarity and a certainty of purpose. And then it becomes harder. Mark’s gospel reading today focusses on Jesus, giving us clues to Jesus being the fulfilment of the Old Testament, being the Son of God, the Messiah, the bearer of the Spirit and the one will be the victor over Satan. He first tells us about Jesus’ baptism, when God rips open heaven and does more than give a glimpse of his purpose for humanity. Isaiah had beseeched God to rend the heavens and to come down. Here God does just that, it is when, through the person of Jesus, he sets himself loose among us, he comes to us whether we want him to or not. And the power of the Holy Spirit comes down, settles down, quietly and gently upon Jesus.
