Last Day in Kampala, Uganda

This morning I spoke at the chapel at Uganda Christian University. The chapel itself was a charming room with gothic windows of red brick…a remnant of old British Theological Seminary that was built here in 1922. Maybe 150 students and professors showed up for the 7:30 a.m. meeting. I gave a brief 25 minute presentation on the relationship that liberalism will have with Uganda for the next generation. I hope that my word communicated adequately the great gravity of the situation I believe that East Africa is facing. After chapel, I had several young pastors, students, and professors come and ask for a transcript of the presentation and said it was thought provoking. I can at least be thankful for that.

Tomorrow I will be back on the bus heading south along Lake Victoria into Tanzania. I will be working with a newly consecrated bishop named Jackton Lugamira and his wife Josephine. I met them last February when they were visiting Philadelphia for one month, and traveled with them to Boston for a weekend. They are truly wonderful people and like parents to me. I don’t really know exactly what Bp. Jackton will be requesting me to do, but I am up for anything he throws at me.

I’ll write again from Bukoba.
