President Yoweri Museveni has warned Christians against neglecting earthly responsibilities while pursuing their spiritual needs.
On Sunday Luwero Anglican Diocese held a thanksgiving prayer in celebration of marking 33 years since it was consecrated from Namirembe Diocese in 1991. Rt Rev. Bishop Wilson Kisekka also celebrated his first anniversary since he was consecrated and enthroned as the fourth Diocesan Bishop of Luwero Diocese.
While delivering the day’s homily, Rt Rev Frederick Jackson Baalwa, the Assistant Bishop of Kampala Diocese, who represented Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba, congratulated the Diocese for the great strides made during 33 years.
Baalwa said it was God’s grace that the Diocese has now stabilized and asked Christians to continue to pray for the Bishop for many years.
President Yoweri Museveni, represented by Vice President Retired Major Jessica Alupo, congratulated Bishop Kisekka and thanked him for fostering peace as well as development among the Christians.
Museveni also thanked Christians of Luwero Diocese for not only welcoming Bishop Kisekka but supporting him and his team to deliver his God given mandate.
Museveni however, reminded the church that the relevant ministry is that which encourages Christians to aspire and work towards achieving decent and improved standards of living.
He asked Christians to emulate Jesus, who healed and fed people as well as served as a carpenter.
