The Church of Uganda has re-emphasized its stance on denouncing homosexuality, a few days after the Church of England pronounced that its priests will be permitted to bless the civil marriages of same-sex couples. 


Speaking during the 4th anniversary of St. Janani Luwum at Wiigweng Village in Mucwini Sub-County, Kitgum district, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Most Rev. Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu called upon Ugandans to reject the temptation of homosexuality, and instead endeavor to suffer to have an impact on the people, as St. Janani Luwum did. 

Rev. Kaziimba said even though the Church of England has taken another direction of accepting to officiate marriage between same-sex couples, the Church of Uganda is keeping the position of faith and will not be shaken.

Rev. Kaziimba called upon parents and schools to fight the temptation of accepting money offered by propagators of homosexuality and fight painstakingly to keep the country free of all vices.

President Yoweri Museveni, who was the chief guest at the memorial event, commended the leaders for condemning homosexuality, calling it a deviation from the normal.
