Uganda: moral leadership in church and society

The theologians who gathered in Kampala

Theologians from Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda gathered as the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion Theological Resource Network.

They met in Kampala, Uganda from 10-13 June to consider developing moral leadership in church and society. They also studied Paul’s emphasis on nurturing character in young leaders based on the biblical gospel of Jesus.

Abuse of power

Power is the ability to execute tasks. Power in the African context goes with economics, wisdom, correction and punishment. Bribery, poverty, corruption, nepotism, syncretism, and love of money and sex weaken church leaders’ power and promote the decline of the church’s mission.
