Songs of Soldiers
SONGS OF SOLDIERS DECOLONIZING POLITICAL MEMORY THROUGH POETRY AND SONG by Juliane Okot Bitek BFA, University of British Columbia, 1995 MA, University of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2019 © Juliane Okot Bitek, 2019 ii The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Songs of Soldiers: Decolonizing Political Memory Through Poetry And Song submitted by Juliane Okot Bitek in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies Examining Committee: Prof. Pilar Riaño-Alcalá, (Social Justice) Co-supervisor Prof. Erin Baines, (Public Policy, Global Affairs) Co-supervisor Prof. Ashok Mathur, (graduate Studies) OCAD University, Toronto Supervisory Committee Member Prof. Denise Ferreira da Silva (Social Justice) University Examiner Prof. Phanuel Antwi (English) University Examiner iii Abstract In January 1979, a ship ferrying armed Ugandan exiles and members of the Tanzanian army sank on Lake Victoria. 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 Friends, Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I don’t think there is a region in the whole world that is as inflamed and agitated as our region: The Middle East. I am sure that you follow the news about Syria: the destruction, the loss of lives, and the displacement of the Syrian people. As this was going on, the film defaming the Prophet Mohammed was broadcasted in the US and this evoked a volcanic response here in Egypt, in Libya, in Tunisia, in Sudan, in Yemen and in other parts of the region including a suicide bomb in Afghanistan killing 13. The film is aw- ful and is an intentional insult and provocation. The response to the film was also out of pro- portion and led to the death of innocent people, like the US Ambassador in Libya. -

Obituaries Archbishop Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo
Obituaries Archbishop Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo The Most Rev. Livingstone Mpalanyi-Nkoyoyo, retired Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, died on 5th January 2018 . The following is based on a tribute issued by the Church of Uganda. Archbishop Stanley Ntagali said, “I thank God for the life of Archbishop Nkoyoyo. He was a passionate evangelist and a visionary leader. He was a man full of hope for the Lord’s work and he never gave up. He has now been promoted to glory. Well done, good and faithful servant.” Retired Archbishop Nkoyoyo served as Archbishop of the Church of Uganda from 1995 to 2004. During his leadership, he pioneered many visionary initiatives, including upgrading Bishop Tucker Theological College in Mukono into Uganda Christian University, the first university in Uganda to be privately chartered. The university has now grown from the original 120 students to more than 12,000 students on the main campus, at two constituent colleges, and at a number of study centres around the country. Archbishop Nkoyoyo was also a tireless advocate of the least, the last, and the lost. When the government of Uganda gazetted the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest as a National Park, the Batwa were displaced with no place to go. In 1995 Archbishop Nkoyoyo took up their cause and helped secure land in the Diocese of Kinkiizi for permanent resettlement of the Batwa, including educational and health facilities and life-skills training in agriculture. Early in his ministry he and his wife, Ruth, began taking care of orphaned and abandoned children. He leaves a legacy of several orphanages and primary schools, including ones that care for the blind and those with other physical disabilities. -

Fourth Trumpet from the Fourth Anglican Global South to South Encounter St
Fourth Trumpet from the Fourth Anglican Global South to South Encounter St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Singapore, 19th – 23rd April 2010 1. The Fourth Anglican South to South Encounter took place in Singapore from April 19th through April 23rd, 2010. The theme for this encounter was: “The Gospel of Jesus Christ - Covenant for the People; Light for the Nations.” We marveled at the power of this Gospel as we met together from all corners of the globe united in our commitment to Jesus the Christ and the proclamation of His message of eternal assurance and transformation open to all people. We were renewed in our determination to assist each other in fulfilling the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations and to do all that Christ has commanded. 2. Grateful for the gracious guidance of the Holy Spirit a total of 130 delegates from 20 provinces in the Global South (Comprising Africa, West Indies, Asia and South America) gathered together. We represented the vast majority of the active membership of the Anglican Communion. We were also joined by a number of our partners in the Gospel from Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. The entire delegation from the Province of West Africa and invited participants from the UK and Ireland were unable to be present because of travel difficulties. 3. We were immensely grateful for the wonderful hospitality provided for us by Archbishop John Chew and the people of the Diocese of Singapore and, in fact, the entire Province of South East Asia. The ministry among us by the former Primate of South East Asia, the Most Rev’d Datuk Yong Ping Chung as Encounter Chaplain was also a source of great blessing. -

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.
