O God, whose Son the Good Shepherd laid down his life for the sheep: We give thee thanks for thy faithful shepherd, Janani Luwum, who after his Savior’s example gave up his life for the people of Uganda. Grant us to be so inspired by his witness that we make no peace with oppression, but live as those who are sealed with the cross of Christ, who died and rose again, and now liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Today the CofE remembers Janani Luwum, Anglican Archbishop of Uganda, who was arrested by Amin in 1977 for protesting his murderous regime. Amin said he then died in a ‘road accident’, which did not explain the bullet-riddled body he released to his family. pic.twitter.com/LCtY3LFFeU
