Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The head of the Church of Uganda has said prelates are increasingly finding it difficult to connect with congregants who are smarting from the cost of living crisis.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Steven Kaziimba Mugalu made the comment on Thursday while appearing on NTV Uganda\u2019s current affairs talk show, On the Spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody is crying and it is very challenging to be leading, to be preaching, to be ministering to people who are crying,\u201d Archbishop Kaziimba said, adding: \u201cI take this opportunity to sympathise with people, people who are really suffering, people who are hurt by the economy and escalating prices in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Archbishop Kaziimba said while the Russia-Ukraine war has spiked prices, leaders in Uganda should use everything in their toolkit to ameliorate living standards. He also advised Ugandans \u201cto spend the little money that we have\u201d sparingly so as to get through what is undoubtedly a tough situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly make an appeal to the leadership, especially in the Ministry of Finance or other related ministries to ensure that something is done to intervene to ensure that Ugandans live a relatively comfortable life amidst these challenges,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Kaziimba said the Church cannot shy away from speaking truth to power.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs ministers of the gospel, our work is to bring the prophetic voice. We speak the truth in love and let people know, including our leaders,\u201d he said, adding: \u201c\u2026I do my part and I also pray and we continue praying and preaching and instructing and also whispering because there are some messages we bring, but there is also a time I inbox somebody and say come on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The archbishop also acknowledged that evil has continuously found its way inside the hearts of the followers of Jesus Christ. He noted that rebellions have also rocked the church leadership especially those who opt for materialism and secularism.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in a world where there are many challenges\u2026we face secularism, materialism, rebellions. It is historical that people forget their call and want to become chiefs instead of being servants,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The archbishop also conceded that Martyrs\u2019 Day in-person celebrations have severally fallen short, with pilgrims giving in to sins of the flesh. Some of the intoxicated pilgrims, he added: \u201ceven come to Namugongo with condoms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Concerned that many girls were defiled, raped, enticed, and impregnated during the pandemic-induced lockdown, the archbishop appealed to all stakeholders in the education sector to ensure that the affected learners are counselled and restored to their proper channels. He also hastened to fault the government for not preparing enough for the affected learners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Church is saying, yes we want these children to continue, but after thorough preparation. The teachers must be counselled to be able to receive and the children should be prepared and also something should be worked on in our laws because our laws were saying, \u2018no pregnant child is expected back to school\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
