Today, I addressed the media ahead of the 4th Provincial Prayer Convention, scheduled for 18th–21st November 2026 at the Uganda Martyrs Anglican Site, Namugongo, under the theme “Redeemed from the Hand of the Adversary” (Psalm 107:2).

I emphasised the urgent need for prayer and repentance in response to the challenges facing our families, the Church, our nation and the world. These include insecurity, domestic violence, land conflicts, poverty, corruption, unemployment, drug and substance abuse among young people, political divisions and the persecution of Christians across the world.

I particularly called for national unity, peace, justice and reconciliation, reminding Ugandans that our political, religious and other differences should never divide us or undermine our shared responsibility to build a peaceful and prosperous nation.

I also challenged the Church to remain united, uphold biblical truth and stand firm in prayer and faithful witness.

I also called upon the Church to pray for transitions next year. I will be retiring next year, together with six other Bishops. Another Bishop to replace the Bishop who becomes the next Archbishop we’ll also be elected. Our Provincial Secretary is also retiring next year. We must pray for smooth transitions.

I invite all Ugandans, regardless of their political, religious or social backgrounds, to join us at Namugongo for four days of prayer, repentance, intercession and spiritual renewal.

Let us put aside our differences, humble ourselves before God and seek His intervention in our families, the Church and our nation.

God bless @ChurchofUganda_ . God bless Uganda.

Church of Uganda PASC Members Oriented, Hold First Business Meeting

NAMIREMBE, 12th November 2026: Members of the Church of Uganda Provincial Assembly Standing Committee (PASC) have today concluded their two-day orientation and first business meeting at the Provincial Secretariat in Namirembe.

The orientation, held yesterday, acquainted members with the policies, canons and Constitution of the Church of Uganda, as well as their roles, responsibilities and expectations as members of the Committee.

Rev. Canon Geoffrey Byarugaba, the former Chairman of the House of Clergy who was the lead facilitator, cautioned members against absenteeism and taking their responsibilities lightly.

“You are called by God to discuss policies that will make Church of Uganda a faster-growing, sustainable and Christ-centred Church. This is a huge responsibility that calls for full commitment and availability,” Canon Byarugaba said.

He added, “Church of Uganda is now self-governing because we have our own laws and governance structures, self-propagating because we are planting more churches, and we are moving at a high speed towards becoming self-sustaining. It is your responsibility to generate ideas and ensure they are implemented.”

In his charge to the new Committee, the Archbishop of Church of Uganda, The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu, challenged members to provide leadership that will enable the Church to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

“The world is changing rapidly. We must conquer the seven spheres of influence, which are religion, music, dance and drama, sports, media, politics, family and the political economy,” @Archbp_COU said.

Key Resolutions of the First Business Meeting

1. The Committee ratified the minutes of the 28th Provincial Assembly, which was held in August 2026 at Uganda Christian University in Mukono.

2. A nine-member committee, chaired by Rt. Rev. Prof. Alfred Olwa, Bishop of the Diocese of Lango, was established to conduct a comprehensive growth study of Church of Uganda.

3. The Committee appointed Hon. David Bahati, the Minister of State for Industry in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, to chair the Organising Committee for the enthronement and installation of the 10th Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, scheduled for 15th August 2027.

4. The Committee entrusted Uganda Christian University with the responsibility of organising celebrations to mark 150 years of Christianity in Uganda, alongside the annual Uganda Martyrs Day commemoration. Both events are scheduled for 3rd June 2027.

5. The Committee ratified nominations to the various Boards of the Church of Uganda.

I thank my brother Bishop Jacob Ateirweho and the Christians of Bunyoro Kitara Diocese for their warm welcome into their Diocese yesterday and farewell to me today.

I loved the fellowship of my senior brothers, retired Bishops; Stanley Ntagali, Wilson Turumanya, Nathan Kyamanywa, Samuel Kahuma and George Asiimwe Kasangaki. They have good fellowship in their retirement.

I thank the Diocese for starting BKD Jubilee Radio that will help reach millions of people with the gospel and messages of social economic transformation.

I also thank Mr Herbert Asiimwe and his wife, and the management of Golden Castle Hotel for hosting us.

It was a pleasure for me to join the Ndahura family for their thanksgiving in Mparo, Hoima City at the end of my farewell visit today.

I thank everyone that came to join us in today’s service and welcoming me yesterday. To God be the glory!

I thank the Christians of Masindi Kitara Diocese for their warm reception and the successful farewell Service we had today at St Matthew’s Cathedral Masindi.

I thank my brother Bishop Joshua Kugonza and his team for building on the foundation of the predecessor Bishops; Bishop George William Asiimwe Kasangaki and Bishop Stanley Ntagali.

It was nice meeting my brother Bishop Kasangaki and Maama Elizabeth. I led their retreat while I was still the Bishop of Mityana Diocese. I am so glad they served with dignity and retired peacefully.

I was delighted to break the ground for construction of the Diocesan Guesthouse to benefit from the ever growing tourism sector and now the oil discovery in the region.

I also thank the leadership of the Diocese for organizing a special dinner for me with the political and civic leaders today evening. There were a lot of matters of provincial importance and I took note of several of them.

Once again, thank you for your hospitality, generosity and spirituality.
