    “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.

WBS and NTV television stations broadcast the programme live from 7.30 – 9 p.m. that night. MTN provided high-speed broadband internet connectivity in order to broadcast the event live on the internet for international friends and partners to participate. 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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).
