[The] Rev Canon Eridard Kironde Nsubuga and Rev Paul Kiptoo Masaba will be consecrated and enthroned as bishops on May 17 at St Mark’s cathedral, Luweero, and April 12 at St Peter’s cathedral, Kapchorwa respectively. The house of bishops sitting at Lweza training and conference centre on January 15 made the election.
[The] Rev Nsubuga, who has been elected as third bishop of Luweero diocese, has been serving as archdeacon of Ndejje since 2013. Prior to that, he served as provost and vicar of St Mark’s cathedral, parish priest and diocesan secretary. He received a bachelor’s degree in Applied Theology from the University of Gloucestershire, and Redcliffe College in UK in 2003.
We have known Canon Eridard and Jane for 25 years, ever since God placed us as missionaries in neighboring parishes in Zimbabwe in the eighties and ninties. His young son Moses saw and ate his first grape in our home in Banket. It was marvelous to invite this articulate Christian to teach confirmation retreats in our Shona congregations. He is a humble man of God who has worked his way through a variety of leadership roles in this diocese which we were a part of as connonically resident clergy before the ACNA was formed. I urge your prayers for Jane and Eridard and Luweero diocese where he will follow the long and stable episcopate of Bishop Kisseke.
So far away, but the same Lord and the same faith.
May the Lord bless and strengthen the church in Uganda.
