The archbishop-elect comes at a time when the COU lacks a sound political theology necessary to counter the intrigues of Uganda\u2019s secular politics. In fact, his immediate predecessor has several times hushed critics who resolutely dared him to discharge his \u2018political\u2019 mandate.<\/p>\n
Thus, we have often had and still have great difficulty in determining whether he speaks officially as Uganda\u2019s archbishop, bishop of Kampala and chancellor of the Uganda Christian University (UCU); or privately as Rev Stanley Ntagali!<\/p>\n
Little thought has been given to the centrality and impact of sound doctrine in modelling the spiritual life plus character of Anglicans in Uganda\u2014to the extent that today, the COU is fast losing its identity and can easily be mistaken to be part of the so-called \u2018Pentecostal\u2019 movement\u2014except that one is just yet to witness electrocution of believers and \u2018soccer matches\u2019 inter alia in \u2018our\u2019 sanctuaries.<\/p>\n
Far more awful to note, is the manner in which many of our ministers\u2014whether in purple or grey or black\u2014have yielded to the wicked lure of searching for the lost coin rather than the lost sheep; not to mention those caught \u2018feasting\u2019 on their own \u2018sheep\u2019.<\/p>\n
To put it crudely, the COU is infested with unscrupulous persons taking advantage of the gaps within the structures to steal church properties, chiefly money and land. To our dismay, they have been rewarded with titles or higher positions.<\/p>\n
