We have many fake bishops and clergy, you don\u2019t just accept anyone coming to your house that \u2018I have a revelation or a good message for you\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Nathan Ahimbisibwe of South Ankole Diocese, who was the main celebrant, said many clergy compete to outshine each other even when they do not have the competencies to manage the positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever shine to become a bishop. Today, every lay leader wants to become a reverend, a reverend wants to become an archdeacon, and archdeacon wants to become a bishop, and now I do not know what the bishop wants to become,\u201d Bishop Ahimbisibwe said.<\/p>\n<p>He said church leaders should serve according to their God-given gift and they should stop undermining each other because each one is great in their own right and instead, they should be focusing on alleviating poverty among Christians, the communities, churches and rebuilding lives.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, the Kampala Diocese promoted five members of laity to clergy.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those ordained into priesthood include the Rev Musera Kadaiga, Rev Frank Kiconco and Rev Richard Musinguzi. Those ordained deacons were Rev Agnes Natukunda and Rev Geofrey Eluku.<\/p>\n<p>The newly ordained clergy will be serving in Kampala Diocese, which is also celebrating its golden jubilee since its breakaway from Namirembe in 1972.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
