The caretaker Bishop of Luwero Diocese Rt. Rev James William Ssebaggala has said the Diocese is now stable four months after he took over.
This is after protests that sparked over the nullification elections of the Bishop-elect.
On July 14th, Archbishop Kaziimba Mugalu appointed Rt. Rev James William Ssebaggala the retired Bishop of Mukono to serve as caretaker with effect from 18th July 2023 to 18th March 2024.
Kaziimba tasked Ssebaggala to reconcile the Christians and ensure the continuity of church activities for the next eight months till a new Bishop is elected.
By the time Ssebaggala assumed office, tensions were high and Christians protesting against the nullification of Rev. Canon Kasana Godfrey Ssemakula as the Bishop-elect.
However, in the past four months, Ssebaggala has been able to conduct priestly ordinations, confirm hundreds of Christians, made transfers and hold several meetings to diffuse tensions.
Speaking at the annual thanksgiving service organized by Luwero civil servants at the district headquarters, Bishop Ssebaggala said that he is happy that the Diocese is now stable and praying that it gets a bishop soon.
Bishop Ssebagala speaking….
Innocent Asaba, the Luwero District Chief Administrative Officer applauded Bishop Ssebaggala for steering the Diocese amidst the challenges and hopeful God will prevail so that the Diocese gets a substantive shepherd. END.
