Everyone is affected in one way or another by the cancelled trips/activities, lost income, quarantines, sickness and deaths. We are not sure of the future. This reminds us what is written in Mathew 9:36 …As he saw the crowds, his heart was filled with pity for them, because they were worried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. The prayer of the Psalmist in Psalms 55: 1-8 seem to be ours now: “Hear my prayer, O God; don’t turn away from my plea! Listen to me and answer me; I am worn out by my worries. …. I am gripped by fear and trembling; I am overcome with horror. I wish I had wings, like a dove. I would fly away and find rest. I would fly far away and make my home in the desert. I would quickly find myself a shelter from the raging wind and the storm.” In such a time the devil uses our flaws such as this one, to break us down even farther. The more we are filled with anxiety, the less we are filled with God’s word and spirit. Remember HIS WILL, WILL BE DONE. He is in control of our lives, and we Psalm 46:1 have to learn to turn some things over to him and trust our own “God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in belief that he will fight for us. trouble.” As Michael Perreau, (the Director of UBS) noted in his letter 2 Tim 1:7 to the United Bible Society fellowship, “Let us draw together For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; as a Fellowship and as a family. Let us be in prayer for one instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control another, asking God to uphold, protect and strengthen each one of us and our loved ones. Let us pray together for those we Psalms 34:18 seek to serve, and ask God to help us bring them the hope and The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who assurance that only He and his enduring Word can offer, at a are crushed in spirit. time they need it most.” Isaiah 41:10 THESE ARE SOME OF THE BIBLE VERSES TO HELP YOU GET “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am THROUGH THIS HARD TIME: your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Isaiah 43:1 I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, “But now, this is what the Lord says…Fear not, for I have they comfort me.” redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” Psalm 55:22 “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he Isaiah 35:4-14 will never let the righteous fall.” “Tell everyone who is discouraged, Be strong and don’t be afraid! God is coming to your rescue…” Simon Peter Mukhama CEO Editorial Team Cover Photo Sylvia Kasirye The new Archbishop of The Church of Esther Baguma Uganda Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu Peter Serumaga Catherine Nakimera Issue 40 Simon Peter Mukhama April- June 2020 2 Bearing Fruit, Fruit that Endures LIGHT John 15:16 The Bible Society of Uganda Newsletter CELEBRATION OF 55 YEARS OF THE RUNYANKOLE-RUKIGA BIBLE By Wycliffe Bariisa (R-L)Rev.Jim Stanley and his son receiving appreciation The General Secretary (with microphone) giving his remarks certificates from the Bishops at the celebrations together with the different Bishops that attended the celebration On Friday 21th/2/2020 Church leaders in Ankole sub-region signed to launch the development of the Runyankole-Rukiga Study Bible at a function held at Booma Grounds, Mbarara to celebrate the 55 years of the Runyankole-Rukiga Bible organized by The Bible Society of Uganda. Having been launched, the Runyankole-Rukiga Study Bible will be the first of its kind in the indigenous languages of Uganda. It was a great day of celebration and the Guest of Honour was Hon. Frank Tumwebaze, Minister for Gender, Labour and Social Development who represented the President of Uganda, H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. People from all corners of Ankole and beyond gathered to celebrate and among them were four representatives from the family of the late Dr. Stanley Smith, from Church Missionary Society U.K who led the translation of the first Runyankole/ Rukiga Bible 55 years ago. His son, Rev. Jim Stanley-Smith was the Guest Preacher of the day. The Bible indeed unites all Christians; the celebrations saw Anglicans, Pentecostals, Roman Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, and Baptists attend with all the top leaders. This was the first of its kind in the region! The Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Mbarara, His Grace Paul K. Bakyenga who is a Trustee of The Bible Society of Uganda, gave a moving history of the Runyankole/Rukiga Bible translation and the SDA Bishop Pr.

    A PUBLICATION OF WESTERN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY MARCH 2020 The Commons What a decade! With the turning of the calendar to 2020, we look back at the highlights from the last ten years. There is much to celebrate! 2010=2011=2012=2013=2014=2015=2016=2017=2018=2019 The renovation of the John R. Mulder Chapel, 2011 Originally constructed in 1954, the chapel was in great need of restoration after 57 years. President Timothy Brown initiated the campaign to restore the sacred space, and a dedicated committee put much theological thought and planning into the renovation. The result, accord- ing to architect James VanderMolen, was “an ongoing dialogue between the old and the new in which both had something beautiful to say.” In the years since, the form of the new chapel has encouraged us to look for God in the central things: pulpit, table, and font. There we focus on Word and Sacrament, surrounded by the gifts of music, creation, and community. HIGHLIGHTS 2010=2011=2012=2013=2014=2015=2016=2017=2018=2019 Faculty Fellows Program To help prepare leaders for diverse congregations, Western created the Faculty Fellows program in 2009.

  • COVID 19 and Uganda: How We Can Support Our Link Dioceses
    COVID 19 and Uganda: how we can support our link Dioceses. The current crisis has undoubtedly brought us closer to our brothers and sisters throughout the world because we are all suffering the same virus. Our link dioceses in Uganda have been praying for us and below you will find some ideas to help you pray for them. As you will not be surprised to read economically, the situation in Uganda is far more precarious than here, but the church is seeking to help those in most need. IF you feel you could help them to do this, there are details of how to make a donation. In these straightened times we recognise that not everyone will be able to do this, but we can all pray. The situation in Uganda By the middle of May, reported COVID 19 cases in Uganda were just over 100 with no known deaths. The government have imposed a lockdown, currently extended to 19th May. As here, this has provided a sense of family unity, especially in towns as families are less busy and spending time together, but there is great concern about families where there is potential abuse. Economically, many people thrive on income from informal businesses, eg selling food or providing transport and these are all closed. Such families are already starving. The government is seeking to provide some food to struggling families, but opportunists have taken advantage of this for personal gain. Informal food sellers near Luweero The clergy and Readers in the entire Church of Uganda are supposed to get their monthly stipends from the Sunday offertory but since the end of February, churches, schools and other institutions have been closed.

    Cycle of Prayer 12 January 2020 - 09 May 2020 Diocese of Chester Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Chester Diocesan Board of Finance. Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE. Tel: 01928 718834 Chester Diocesan Board of Finance is a company limited by guarantee registered in England (no. 7826) Registered charity (no. 248968) Foreword Who will you be praying for in 2020? No surprises if I tell you I’m praying for the next Bishop of Chester. I will use some of the prayers prepared for the diocese and found on the website and I hope to go to one of the prayer meetings arranged for us to pray together. I hope I will be praying on my own in my own words, sometimes not using words at all, experiencing what St Paul says in Romans 8.26: ‘Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.’ Have a look at Psalm 34. I’ve been listening to a wonderful gospel setting of the Psalm from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir which you can find on YouTube. Go back to the words of just this one psalm; notice the emotive language: ‘I will bless the Lord at all times;’ ‘O magnify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together;’ ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good.’ This is prayer coming from the heart, being expressed in praise, and not forgetting to express prayer as a ‘cry’: ‘When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hear,’ prayer offered because the psalmist knows, ‘the Lord is near the broken-hearted, and saves the crushed in spirit’ (Ps 34.18).

Faith organizations account for 30 to 40% of Sub-Saharan Africa’s health infrastructure. Deeply rooted in and trusted by the communities, faith organizations have reached large numbers of people with messages that resonate with local beliefs and culture and are repertoires of spiritual sustenance and social networks. Winning the support of faith organizations has had a snowball effect in policy arenas in target countries, reversing regressive positions promoted by conservative religious groups. Faith organizations have exerted influence as strong advocates vis-à-vis authorities, impacting legal, health and education systems. With the Faith+FP project, Faith to Action Network catalyzed faith leaders and organizations’ advocacy in support of family planning services, supplies and information in Africa and Asia. Although initially intended to focus on five countries, the support from PAI enabled Faith to Action Network to increase faith leaders understanding of and support for family planning in the DRC, Egypt, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, the Philippines and Uganda from October 2015 to October 2017.

The best reminders have a regular rhythm about them. The reminders of the importance of family life naturally take the form of anniversary events and celebrations. The Christian Year was established for just this purpose, building upon the annual rhythm of ritual and celebration which was well developed in Jewish life. Christmas, Easter, and all the other features and festivals of the Christian Year, are there to remind us of key features of the Gospel story, and the life of the Church. The diocesan daily Cycle of Prayer is provided as a reminder to pray – and a reminder of the central importance of prayer to the Church, and the Christian life. +Peter Face painting in Edgeley Welcome ‘It seems to me their faith is too much about religion and not enough about Christianity.’ The speaker was describing a couple much involved in the life of their local church who had left a lonely aged parent needing assistance to his own devices.
