I am now looking forward to finally walking part of the Larapinta Trail starting on June 21. I very much appreciate the generosity of so many of you in helping me reach my Anglican Board of Mission Fundraising target of $3000 as part of this experience. In preparation for this “trek,” I have been engaged in two kinds of walking, early morning walks by myself to get fit and also going on weekly longer hilly bush walks with one or more others going the ABM Larapinta Trail. I love both and will want to continue even after I get back from Larapinta. These two kinds of walks are a bit like our spiritual lives. The regular dawn walk on familiar paths helps ground me in time and peace as I begin the day, and this is akin to the regular familiar patterns of daily personal prayer. Exploring new paths which involve climbing up and down hills with companions each week is like weekly worship with others on the journey. We all move at a different pace (I am especially slow at coming down hills) and spot different features, plants, and creatures when walking. Accompanying someone we see, albeit briefly, the world through their eyes, and may see a koala, rosella, or spiderweb we might otherwise overlook. When we come to worship together each week, we also walk new paths and learn to see some things differently as we engage with each other in our walk with God. In our ministry though the St Bede’s Drop-In Centre we share the life journey of some of those who come to eat breakfast and stay for a chat. Some we have walked with for years, others only a few hours, but nevertheless their stories touch us. During June we will be exploring how best to continue offering breakfast in a safe place once our partnership with AnglicareSÁ concludes on June 30. Please pray for this program and the people whom we serve. Ruth 4 History Week Guided Tours 35 interested and appreciative people enjoyed guided tours of St Bede’s on 16 May, looking at the beauty of our church through the lens of the theme ‘ the changing church’, and digging deeper into history on the display tables, plaques and window inscriptions after Diana with appreciative partici- the tour. pants Thanks to tour guides Diana Geier, Greg Manning and Dorothy Thorpe and to the hospitable others—Rev. Ruth, Judith Manning and Karen Fagan - who greeted and welcomed, answered questions and added further information and personal anecdotes. Some visitors were able to add to our story too. Right: Dorothy assists a visitor whose grandmother had donated to the organ in the early part of last century. Photos: Louise Humby Thank you to Dr Deborah Osman for providing an audience of more than fifty with a musical treat on Pentecost Sunday. The recital showcased St Bede’s historic instrument, now over 100 years old. The church was all decked out in red and light for Pentecost while we listened to the organ swell with works by Bach, Buxtehude, Pachelbel, Handel, Faure and Franck among others. The audience got involved too with a hymn to St Bed. We were delighted to hear Aileen Dawson Karen Fagan selling raffle tickets. from Choir St Nicholas singing arias from Handel and Faure’s Pie Jesu. Deborah acknowledges, “it’s a beast to play but it has an incredibly beefy organo pleno.!” The Devonshire tea which rounded off the afternoon was delicious! Thanks to all those who helped on this lovely occasion. 5 MYANMAR UPDATE from ABM. Although there has been some positive news from Myanmar in recent weeks in that people are now allowed to withdraw some of their funds each week from the banks, the death toll among protesters and others continues to rise and many people live in fear of their lives. PRAYER FOR MYANMAR Lord of eternity, Lord of hosts, Creator of the world, we earnestly ask for your care and protection for Myanmar. Have mercy on us. Grant wisdom and prudence to those in authority, that stability, peace, justice, and the welfare of the people may prevail. We pray for unity among Burman, Shan, Karen, Kachin, Chin, and all ethnic groups, and for that peace which is the fruit of righteousness. Inspire them to break down all oppression and wrongdoing. We ask that Myanmar may be peaceful and prosper, and that it may bring honour to your kingdom, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. A helping hand Sonia Worfold is available for visiting, or help with appointments, or shopping, or a chat and a cup of tea. If you would like some help or a visit, then contact Sonia through the Rev’d Ruth Mathieson.

    Religion and the Church in Geoffrey of Monmouth

    Chapter 14 Religion and the Church in Geoffrey of Monmouth Barry Lewis Few authors inspire as many conflicting interpretations as Geoffrey of Monmouth. On one proposition, however, something close to a consen- sus reigns: Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote history in a manner that shows re- markable indifference toward religion and the institutional church. Antonia Gransden, in her fundamental survey of medieval English historical writing, says that “the tone of his work is predominantly secular” and even that he “abandoned the Christian intention of historical writing” and “had no moral, edificatory purpose”, while J.S.P. Tatlock, author of what is still the fullest study of Geoffrey, speaks of a “highly intelligent, rational and worldly personality” who shows “almost no interest in monachism … nor in miracles”, nor indeed in “religion, theology, saints, popes, even ecclesiastics in general”.1 Yet, even if these claims reflect a widely shared view, it is nonetheless startling that they should be made about a writer who lived in the first half of the 12th century. Some commentators find Geoffrey’s work so divergent from the norms of ear- lier medieval historiography that they are reluctant to treat him as a historian at all. Gransden flatly describes him as “a romance writer masquerading as an historian”.2 More cautiously, Matilda Bruckner names Geoffrey among those Latin historians who paved the way for romance by writing a secular-minded form of history “tending to pull away from the religious model (derived from Augustine and Orosius) that had viewed human history largely within the scheme of salvation”.3 This Christian tradition of historiography, against which Geoffrey of Monmouth is said to have rebelled, had its origins in late antiquity in the works of Eusebius, Augustine, and Orosius.

  • The Martyrs of Uganda

    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.

  • 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

    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.
