Archbishop Janani Luwum was murdered in 1977 when I was a student of Secondary Four at St. Mary’s College, Kisubi. As a member of Church of Uganda, I realized that none of us was safe given Idi Amin’s terror.
Janani Luwum is a real martyr of our time whom we are proud of. Our Religious leaders are challenged more so when some of them are unable to address the Human Rights abuses that are rampant today in Uganda. Some of our Religious leaders are corrupt and don’t see it abnormal to be in bed with political leaders who abuse the Rights of Ugandans.
3rd MAY 2022 MADE A YEAR SINCE I WORKED ON THE BLOG TO HELP RAISE FUNDS TO SAVE “JANAN LUWUM CHURCH HOUSE” FROM BEING AUCTIONED.
What is unfortunate is that I may never know how much my effort brought into Uganda to save Janani Luwum Church House.
I thank God for His having enabled me to work on a blog as well as initiated the letter below which I circulated to various email addresses mostly so outside Uganda. The email addresses were not less than 500 in number I imagine.
The Letter:
“SAVE JANAN LUWUM CHURCH HOUSE”
