From Uganda-The Anglican Bishop of South Ankole Diocese, the Rt Rev Nathan Ahimbisibwe has asked Christians to develop a culture of hard work, to free themselves from what he called the “yoke of misery.”
The Prelate argued that work was a Biblical ethos, since God himself worked when he was creating the world and also assigned human beings to be procreators with him.
“The call to mission puts it to us to preach the gospel in word and deed. But we must also be mindful to work to ensure our dignified survival and self-sustenance of the Church. If we work, God will bless our labour,” Ahimbisibwe said.
Ahimbisibwe excited Christians when he told them that much as he was a prelate, he continued to practise his trade of farming, which he said had given him even more joy in his episcopal ministry. “Further to pastoring God’s flock, I am also a farmer with over six acres of pineapples. Working hard has enabled me to do my episcopal ministry even more conveniently.”
