Justin Portal Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury in United Kingdom has argued Church of Uganda to remain steadfast and in Communion with the entire church despite differences.
He said this in his remarks during the enthronement of Dr Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu, the 9th Church of Uganda Archbishop.
The primate, who surprised the congregation when he sang lyrics from ‘Tukudendereze Yesu’, a Luganda hymn, observed that although Church of England and CoU have differences, he is very aware that Jesus remains the same and saves, which unites the Anglican Communion.
CoU and Church of England disagreed on their perception towards homosexuality. Church of Uganda strongly preached against the vice, saying it is incompatible with Scriptures.
Archbishop Webly, who visited the Uganda martyrs shrine in Namugongo on Saturday, said: “I am pleased to see the transforming experience and seeds of the extraordinary church. Because of Uganda’s witness to Christ, the Anglican Communion remains firm.”
Speaking at the same event, Martin Nyaboho, the Archbishop of Anglican Church of Brazil noted that many churches in America are inspired by the Church in Africa and Uganda in particular for keeping and heeding to the scriptures.
