  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
