From New Vision-
OUTGOING Anglican Bishop of the Northern Uganda Diocese Rev. Nelson Onono-Onweng has said the biggest problem dividing Ugandans is tribal differences.
He said: “The three-day rioting around Kampala district was a result of ethnic sentiments.” “If these sentiments are not resolved, more inter-ethnic violence is likely to continue,” Onono-Onweng added.
He asked the Government to quickly investigate such differences to avoid violence that destroys property and lives.
Onono-Onweng made the appeal during a service to confirm 175 Christians and convert four others from the Catholic Church to the Anglican community.
This was at Christ Church Urban Archdeaconry in Gulu on Saturday. He asked children to respect their parents, guardians and elders in the community.
This was the last official pastoral work conducted by the bishop as he hands over to his successor, Rev. Johnson Gakumba. Gakumba’s consecration ceremony will be attended by President Yoweri Museveni at St. Philip Cathedral, Mican in Gulu on December 20.
Onono-Onweng asked Christians to have a good relationship with God to strengthen their faith and love for one another. “If you want to have better life, develop good relationships with your friends and family, and treat everyone equally.” Onono added.
