KABALE: The Bishop of the Diocese of Kigezi in Kabale District, Rt. Rev. Gaddie Akanjuna, has emphasized that despite the Reformed Anglican Church clergy and bishops wearing vestments similar to those of the Church of Uganda, they are not Anglicans.
Bishop Akanjuna says that despite acknowledging their presence, they are not Anglicans but belong to the Reformed tradition even though their attire may resemble Church of Uganda. Bishop Akanjuna said this yesterday during a press conference at his residence at the diocesan headquarters on Rugarama Hill in the northern division of Kabale Municipality, as he delivered his Easter Message.
The Bishop’s remarks follow the establishment of a Reformed Anglican Church congregation in Nyakiharo – Mwanjari in the southern division of Kabale Municipality. On Palm Sunday, the Most Reverend Prof. Jonathan Kyangasha, Archbishop of the Reformed Anglican Church, inaugurated the Kigezi Reformed Anglican Church Archdeaconry. He ordained and installed Spencer Byamukama, a former lay reader in the Church of Uganda, Diocese of Kigezi, as the Vicar.
Bishop Akanjuna stated that whereas the government of Uganda grants freedom of worship to every Ugandan, it’s important to recognize that despite appearances, the Reformed Anglican Church is a different entity from the Church of Uganda.
He expressed openness to welcome back those in the Reformed Anglican church to the Church of Uganda with open arms.
