  • The Thing Behind the Thing”: the Role and Influence of Religious Leaders on the Use of Traditional Practices of Acknowledgement in Uganda1
    “The Thing Behind the Thing”: The role and influence of religious leaders on the use of traditional practices of acknowledgement in Uganda1 Joanna R. Quinn2 Review of Faith and International Affairs 8.1 (Spring 2010): forthcoming. The use of traditional practices to socially acknowledge past abuses is not yet fully understood. In places like Uganda, it has recently become fashionable to urge the use of traditional mechanisms. Yet little is understood about how or why such practices work or whether their use ought to be supported. As one piece of a larger study of traditional practices in Uganda, this paper considers the role and influence of Uganda’s religious leaders on the use of traditional practices. It considers the stands six major faith groups on the use of such traditional practices, before turning to their consideration of the use of neo-traditional practices. Religious Landscape The religious make-up of Uganda is as follows, according to 2002 census data: - Roman Catholic 41.9% - Protestant 42% (includes Anglican 35.9%, Pentecostal 4.6%, Seventh Day Adventist 1.5%) - Muslim 12.1% - Other 3.1% - none 0.9%3 1 A paper prepared for Canadian Political Science Association Annual Meeting, 28 May 2009, Ottawa, Canada.

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 Arch-Bishop L. Brown in the Establishment of the Church of the Province of Uganda. Leslie Wilfrid Brown Lived Betwee
    The role of Arch-Bishop L. Brown in the establishment of the church of the province of Uganda. Leslie Wilfrid Brown lived between 10th June 1912 and 27th December 1999. He was Bishop then Archbishop of Uganda before returning to England to be Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich1. Brown was educated at Enfield Grammar School before studying for ordination at the London College of Divinity. He was ordained priest by the Bishop of Portsmouth in 19362. After a curacy at St James, Milton, Portsmouth he went out to the Diocese of Travancore and Cochin on the Malabar coast of India in January 1938, working there for the Church Missionary Society, and eventually becoming Principal of the Kerala United Theological Seminary3. In 1952 he accepted the post of Bishop of Uganda, despite having doubts because of his support for indigenization. Upon his appointment, the then Mukama of Bunyoro congratulated him with these words; “It has been much pleasure to hear that you have been appointed as a bishop of Uganda instead of Bishop Stuart who has done a big job for Uganda. I trust you, as well as he has done, will energetically serve the Church in Uganda successfully…..”4 In regard to the above letter, apart from the Mukama of Bunyoro a number of very important people including Muteesa of Buganda congratulated him and were willing to welcome him and ready to serve with him as Bishop. Muteesa as well had this to say; “I assure you of a very warm welcome and cooperation of us all, on your arrival”5 1 Available on; Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Brown_%28bishop%29 , accessed on 27/02/14 2 Accessed from the UCU Archives, George Cicestr, letter responding to the questioning of the appointment of Rev.

    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.

  • The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation Written by Dr
    Episcopal Dissidents, African Allies: The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation written by Dr. Miranda K. Hassett [email protected] For the Department of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill May 2004 Please do not cite in print without author’s consent. A revised and shortened version of this text is under contract for publication with Princeton University Press. Reproduced online through http://anglicanhistory.org, January 2006. 1 Abstract In recent years, conservative dissidents within the Episcopal Church in the United States have felt alienated by the Episcopal Church’s liberal policies, especially acceptance of homosexuality. In response, these Episcopal dissidents have increasingly sought and received help and support from Anglican bishops in the global South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America). In this dissertation, the development and dynamics of these transnational Anglican alliances are examined anthropologically, on the basis of ethnographic research with Anglican communities involved in such relationships in Uganda and the United States. These relationships are often explained, by both supporters and critics, through narratives of increased global conflict between liberal Northern Christianity and conservative Southern Christianity (with which conservative Northerners are said to have a natural affinity). This work questions such narratives, first, by presenting the situations, concerns, and motives of the Northern and Southern Anglicans involved and calling into question assumptions

  • 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.
