From Uganda-
Church of Uganda
Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba has asked government to recognise the clergy
as essential workers and allow them to perform their spiritual duties
during the lockdown.
In his pastoral
letter to bishops and clergy, Archbishop Kaziimba yesterday said for
many Ugandans, the impact of lockdown has been much harder than the
coronavirus pandemic itself, and urged church leaders to continue
offering pastoral guidance to Christians.
"The need has
increased because of the fear and uncertainty many are experiencing. I
call upon government to recognise the clergy and lay readers as
"essential employees," to provide psycho-social services to Ugandans,"
the Archbishop said.
