The Bishop of Luwero Diocese Eridard Nsubuga has appealed to youths to restrain themselves from acts of violence in the coming general elections.
Yesterday, Christians from Luwero Diocese attended services in Churches in which they thanked God for the year 2020 and prayed for blessings in 2021.
The Church services were held amidst observance of Standard Operating Procedures aimed at preventing the spread of COVID 19 pandemic.
While delivering his New Year message at St Mark Cathedral in Luwero town council, Diocesan Bishop Nsubuga thanked God for enabling Christians to end the year 2020 alive amidst the escalating COVID 19 pandemic and other challenges.
He, however, prayed for peaceful elections which are approaching and asked the candidates who feel dissatisfied with results to seek justice through Courts of law rather than using violent acts.
