As they fight for followers, different Christian denominations are also engaged in another struggle over liturgical vestments.
Setting a definitive stance, the Church of Uganda has officially gazetted its attires as a safeguard against potential misuse or misappropriation by clergy from other denominations and sects.

To address this issue, he explains that the Church has decided to formally document and protect their liturgical attire.
