Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Church of Uganda Archbishop Stephen Kazimba launched a fundraising drive on June 6 to save the prime Shs58 billion Church House, built with a loan from Equity Bank.<\/p>\n

The drive came on the back of Equity Bank\u2019s threats to take over the 16-storey structure built in fulfilment of late Archbishop Janani Luwum vision in 1977.<\/p>\n

The fundraising drive spearheaded by former prime minister John Patrick Amama Mbabazi targets all Anglicans in 37 dioceses of the Church of Uganda across the country.<\/p>\n

The Church of Uganda under then Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi borrowed $17 million from Equity Bank for construction of the prime commercial structure on Kampala Road, just opposite the Bank of Uganda.<\/p>\n

In the House project budget, the Church contributed 30 percent, while Equity Bank Kenya and Uganda catered for 70 percent of the building costs.<\/p>\n

The Anglican church, going by the 2014 population census, boasts of more than 10 million Christians, comprising about 32 percent of Ugandans.<\/p>\n

While launching the drive in June, Archbishop Kazimba said this is not the first time people have contributed towards the construction of the Janani Luwum Church House, but the previous contributions were not enough to put it (the house) where it is now. But the Church doesn\u2019t disclose how much was raised then.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Kazimba said late Archbishop Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo started the second phase of the drive and raised Shs771m. But when Archbishop Luke Orombi took over, he realised that offertory alone would not complete the construction and the Provincial Assembly allowed the church to borrow $11.3m (about Shs40b) from Equity Bank and also sold some shares to different dioceses.<\/p>\n

The provincial head of laity, Mr John Wilson Tereraho, during the fundraising launch told journalists that in the previous fundraising, the church had collected a total of Shs12 billion.<\/p>\n

Two months after launching the drive, Archbishop Kazimba on August 29 extended the fundraising drive for more three months, after announcing that Shs1 billion had been raised from well-wishers.<\/p>\n

In a more recent letter to the diocese, dated September 26, Archbishop Kazimba said they had so far realised about Shs1.3b.<\/p>\n

Different bishops interviewed by Sunday Monitor across the 37 Anglican dioceses say they have not been able to remit contributions to save Church House because they have been in lockdown and could not easily connect to their flock.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not contributed at this particular time, but we have launched a drive which closes at the end of November, and that is when we shall make our contribution. So we have our own arrangement on how to go about. That is exactly what we agreed on as the Church of Uganda,\u201d West Ankole Diocese Bishop Johnson Twinomujuni, who doubles as Secretary to the House of Bishops, says.<\/p>\n

Bishop Twinomujuni says they have not set a target as a diocese since giving is charity and is done at one\u2019s will.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome dioceses have already submitted and they are quite a few but we still have a span within which we can do that and as West Ankole, we shall not make any submission until the end of November,\u201d Bishop Twinomujuni adds.<\/p>\n

Kinkizi Diocese Bishop Dan Zoreka says the diocese had in May agreed to mobilise Shs1 billion to support the Church House project, but they were hampered by the Covid-19-induced lockdown.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 we have not contributed anything because we found out that our mode of reaching people to take the message was through social interaction and gatherings, but because of the lockdown, that was not possible\u201d Bishop Zoreka says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had sat in our synod in May before the lockdown was imposed and we were determined to mobilise Shs1 billion as the Diocese of Kinkizi. That was our target to begin with and it is possible,\u201d Bishop Zoreka says.<\/p>\n

North Ankole Diocese Bishop Stephen Namanya says Christians there had set a target of Shs500 million to be paid in two installments, but they have so far raised only Shs100m, which has been remitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have contributed Shs100m. Our Christians had a target and resolved that we must rescue our image because for them, they took at it [Church House] as an image and they gave themselves a target of Shs500 million. If it was not for the lockdown, we had targeted to raise Shs300m this year, and step it up with Shs200 million next year,\u201d Bishop Namanya says.<\/p>\n

Bishop Patrick Tugume of North Kigezi Diocese says his diocese has contributed Shs150 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward towards the completion of the project because once completed, it will improve the public image of the Church and it will be of a great importance towards the development of the Church of Uganda,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Bishop George Bagamuhunda of Kigezi Diocese, which covers the districts of Kabale, Rukiga and Rubanda, says his diocese has set a target of Shs300m as contribution towards the Church House project, and is optimistic they will have achieved it by November.<\/p>\n

The Muhabura diocesan secretary in Kisoro District, the Rev Stephen Ruzaza, says they have tasked every Christian in the diocese to contribute Shs60,000 and the money is being collected through archdeaconries, parishes and lower churches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe campaign to raise funds for the Church House project is ongoing. We have a total of more than 120,000 Anglicans in Muhubura Diocese, although this number includes children, but we tasked our Christians to contribute Shs60,000 each,\u201d the Rev Ruzaza says.<\/p>\n

South Ankole Diocese Bishop Nathan Ahimbisibwe says they will be able to remit their contributions as a diocese at the end of September when the archdiceanoaries have submitted their collections.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, I invited all the archdeacons and we laid a strategy. So they have gone to enforce that strategy, which we are going to work out together by the end of September. They will bring reports and what will come out will be submitted.\u201d Bishop Ahimbisibwe says.<\/p>\n

He says many Christians have been contributing as individuals through the diocese and the diocese participated through buying of more than Shs60m worth of shares in the Church House project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now implementing our target as a diocese and I know it is going to work. We shall write one cheque officially and hand it in,\u201d Bishop Ahimbisibwe adds.<\/p>\n

Bishop Sheldon Mwesigwa of Ankole Diocese says: \u201cWe have not started cash contributions for the Church House project but our contributions have been in buying shares, we have paid up to Shs166.4m, an equivalent of 1,664 shares in the Church House project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Northwest Ankole Bishop Amos Magezi says they have already remitted Shs100 million towards Church House construction.<\/p>\n

Bishop George Turyasingura of Ruwenzori East Diocese in Kamwenge District says they have contributed more than Shs50 million to the Church House fund.<\/p>\n

In Bukedi Diocese, Bishop Samuel George Bogere Egesa says they have mobilised more than Shs40 million and the drive is ongoing, although they have been slowed down by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Mbale Bishop Patrick Gidudu says they have contributed some unspecified amount of money, and that they are still soliciting for financial support towards the mission to rescue the Church House.<\/p>\n

The acting Bishop of Kumi Diocese, the Rev Charles Odurkami, says they have tried to pass communication to the Christians, but the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown has been frustrating the efforts.<\/p>\n

Bishop Odurkami confirms that in Lango Diocese, where he served as bishop, they bought shares in the Church House, and so is the case for Kitgum Diocese where he was caretaker bishop following similar controversies over leadership as has been the case in Kumi.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristians ought to contribute because the Church House is a church asset,\u201d Bishop Odurkami says.<\/p>\n

The Soroti Diocesan secretary, the Rev Samuel Ediau, says during the tenure of Bishop Emeritus George William Erwau, the diocese bought shares in the project, just like other dioceses.<\/p>\n

In Madi and West Nile Diocese, the diocesan communications officer, Mr Martin Bileni, says they have been using radios, pulpits and WhatsApp groups to mobilise funds for the project and that they have so far collected Shs23m.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have asked our institutions and archdeaconries to raise some money. We also devised a strategy of archdeaconries buying shares in the Church House project so that it can become easy for them to offset the loan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Central Busoga Bishop Patrick Wakula says they have remitted Shs20m for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not reached out to companies for contribution, but our target was to contribute Shs60,000 per head,\u201d Bishop Wakula says.<\/p>\n

Bishop Reuben Kisembo of Rwenzori Diocese says they have bought 4,238 shares, which amount to Shs423.8m.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage all our Christians to continue giving generously towards the project, any amount to clear the Equity Bank loan so we can begin getting dividends from the Church House project.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rev Can David Kaleebu, the Central Buganda Diocesan secretary, says although Christians have been contributing towards the Church House project, he doesn\u2019t know the amount so far collected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have clear statistics, but I know we have made some contributions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Paul Mubiru, the choir leader of St Paul Church in Mpigi Town in Central Buganda Diocese, says they used to collect some money in churches for the Church House project, but this stopped three years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a certain amount of money we were able to collect, but I don\u2019t remember how much we had collected,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Kitgum Bishop Wilson Kitara says they had fundraised Shs100m for the project, but used Shs30m to clear a provincial quota that had accrued and they remitted Shs70m towards the Church House project.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody within Kitgum Diocese, which covers the districts of Pader, Agago and Lamwo contributed,\u201d Bishop Kitara says.<\/p>\n

West Lango diocesan secretary, Rev James Okee, says they were unable to make a contribution due to the Covid-19-induced lockdown that led to the closure of churches for 60 days.<\/p>\n

The diocese spokesperson, Mr David Livingstone Okello, says they have categorised Christians into three groups – the committed, able and unable to ease the fundraising process.<\/p>\n

The committed and able category will contribute Shs60,000 each, and the unable can contribute any amount they wish.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that the places of worship have been reopened, we shall have a fundraising drive and then make our contribution\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
