Kampala Catholic Charismatic Renewal lay leader, John Bosco Mukajanga,
42, has died. Mukajanga was found dead in his home on Saturday morning
of a yet-to-be established cause.
The announcement was made on the Facebook page of Mt Sion Prayer Centre Bukalango. Details were not yet known by press time
The lay leader gained popularity as a prayer leader in Bukalango where he worked under Monsignor Expedito Magembe.
He
also had a ministry called JB Mukajanga Fire Ministries located on
Jemba Plaza, on Luwum Street, where he held weekly lunch-hour prayers.
He was purported to pray for and heal the sick and demon possessed using
a brown wooden cross.
In early March 8, Archbishop
Cyprian Kizito Lwanga wrote a letter to the deceased barring him from
preaching, healing, delivering, anointing and laying-on of hands on
people in order to impart blessings to them, until he had been granted
permission by the church – in effect, suspending his services.
Previously,
Archbishop Lwanga had stopped the lay leader from conducting prayers in
the numerous arcades that dot Kampala where it was reported that he
sold a bottle of olive oil at Shs 50,000. He also had live call-in
prayer programmes on two local TV stations, which were stopped.
In
contravention of the Archbishop’s directive, Mukajanga continued
ministering at the different centres. He was last seen leading a
fellowship on Thursday evening where he informed those close to him that
he was feeling sickly. Who was JB Mukajanga
The
deceased was born in Bulemeezi, Luweero in 1974. He is a great
grandchild of Mukajjanga, the royal executioner of Ssekabaka Mwanga II,
who executed the Uganda Martyrs.
He studied at Kasaala Boys Primary School, Kampala Students Centre, and Luweero Secondary School.
He
attempted to study priesthood but after failing, he joined Nkozi NTC
where he graduated with a diploma in Divinity and History.
Huge crowds yesterday flocked to
Bukalango to say farewell to one of the most enigmatic Catholic lay
preachers of all time. As JONATHAN KAMOGA reports, JB Mukajanga was an
extraordinary Catholic.
Kneeling before the coffin, the woman at
the head of the line wails frantically, her voice piercing the cold
night and weighing down hearts already shattered by a death so
unexpected.
“JB now that you have died, I’m
hopeless,” she sobs. “Who will listen to my problems? Who will pray for
me? Who will keep all of us together?”
These words ignite massive, collective
wailing from mourners behind the woman, and others in all corners of the
church. Mount Sion prayer centre Bukalango, off Hoima road, is tonight
one huge sea of tears, as the faithful demand answers: why did John
Baptist Mukajanga have to die so soon, so mysteriously?
Even those of us not crying, sorrow and
grief engulfs us as we console the weeping ones nearest to us. For some,
this is the first visit to the famous Bukalango. In death, Mukajanga
has brought us together – faithful or not, Catholic or not – to say
goodbye to an enigmatic lay preacher. Mukajanga was buried last evening
at Bukalango, the place that made him, but also a place to which his
charisma drew droves of Charismatic Catholics!
He was found dead on Saturday morning at
his home in Entebbe due a cause not yet known to the people mourning
him this Saturday night.
“That was a dark day for the Catholic
church. It has lost a young man who does what many have failed to do,”
says Fr Expedito Magembe, the head of Mt Sion Prayer Centre.
Magembe mentored and was deputised by
Mukajanga before the latter was expelled earlier this year. Magembe
describes him as a man who loved to preach, who was always happy, and
who loved to sing.
It’s after midnight and the official
prayers for the deceased are just starting. Hundreds of reverent friends
and family members can hardly hold back the tears. Speaker after
speaker takes to the podium to say a few words of farewell. Hardly
anyone descends without mentioning Mukajanga’s love for music.
SUSPICION
“You could see his love for music each
moment he stood up to sing. He actually told us one time that when he
dies, we should not cry but sing instead,” says Annette Nalubwama, a
singer in the church choir here.
Away from the podium, mourners sit in
various groups, musing about memories of their time with Mukajanga, who
shares a name with his great grandfather, the dreaded chief executioner
of Uganda Martyrs 1886.
The big question on many’s lips: what
killed Mukajanga? With the post-mortem results not yet communicated,
speculation and suspicion are rife: someone – I hear them say – must
have poisoned him. And yes, someone could have “bewitched” the man of
God. The conspiracy theories continue through the night, as does the
singing from the choir that once saw Mukajanga as some sort of lay
spiritual leader.
Mourners at Bukalango
By 5:00am, some people have left the vigil, but dusk delivers huge masses into the church courtyard.
“This man was loved. Do you see all
these people coming and it is just as early as this? Wait and see what
happens at around 2 o’clock,” says Jacob Okot, who has been sitting next
to me.
Okot believes that because of the
selfless nature of Mukajanga, coupled with his desire to spread the word
of God, he has managed to attain a big following from all over the
country.
Mukajanga was expelled from Bukalango by
Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga because he was deviating from approved
church methods. Even in this Charismatic church, meant to liven up
Catholic worship, Mukajanga was seen as too unconventional, too
adventurous.
Unbowed, unbroken, he started operating
under JB Ministries, holding prayers in different parts of the city,
gathering ever more followers. He also hosted a television show and a
string of radio talk shows, a move that put him further at loggerheads
with the church leadership. Sister Christine Namanya, however, says that
the faithful came because they felt Mukajanga brought them closer to
God.
“He makes you feel like you are worth
forgiving even when you commit a great sin,” the nun said. “He had his
methods of bringing one closer to God; you could feel it each time you
prayed with him. This and his kindness managed to keep many people in
church.”
She adds that as an evangelist, she
found working with Mukajanga very interesting because he was a teacher, a
mentor and a good listener. Similarly, Stephen Kirunda, a church member
at Bukalango, says Mukajanga built a bond with all faithful and
encouraged them to live as a family.
“He has been a good leader. He has
managed to hold us together as if we came from the same mother. Our
church has lost its most valuable asset,” Kirunda said.
That Mukajanga was buried where he was
expelled from showed that both family and Church valued him, the latter
choosing his resting place in apparent homage. Several church leaders
and government officials were among the mourners. As were many corporate
folks, for whom going to Mukajanga’s Bukalango had become a passion in
increasingly secular times.
The controversial Catholic priest, who was earlier this week suspended
from his priestly duties in the Catholic Church by Kampala Archdiocese,
on Friday announced that he had quit the Roman Catholic Church for the
Orthodox Church

KAMPALA.
The
controversial Catholic priest, who was earlier this week suspended from
his priestly duties in the Catholic Church by Kampala Archdiocese, on
Friday announced that he had quit the Roman Catholic Church for the
Orthodox Church.
Fr Jacinto Kibuuka, who was ordained into
priesthood in 2008, made the announcement at a press conference at his
Mamre Prayer Centre in Namugongo, Wakiso District.
“Priesthood is
for life and no one can take it from me. I will continue offering
sacraments and taking readings. However, I will do it in accordance with
the Eastern Orthodox Church (EOC) which practices the Antiochian Rite. I
will pray to St Chrysostom, whose healing and deliverance prayers are
more effective than Roman Catholic prayers,” he said during a press
conference.
Kampala Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, who
announced the suspension of Fr Kibuuka, said he would comment about Fr
Kibuuka’s latest move once he got the details, as he was out of town.
“Has
he been permitted into EOC? There are rules to follow. You do not just
make announcements and cross over,” Archbishop Lwanga told Sunday
Monitor.
At his press conference, Fr Kibuuka said the Catholic
Church only allowed him to obey a superior who leads in truth and
justice, and since there was no justice, he found it difficult to accept
the suspension by Archbishop Lwanga, choosing to leave the Catholic
Church.
EOC’s beliefs, prayers and sacraments are similar to the
Roman Catholic Church. In Uganda, EOC encompasses the Coptic Church in
Namungoona, Evangelical Orthodox Church in western Uganda, the Ethiopian
Church, and Brazilian Catholic Church in Jinja.
Archbishop
Lwanga in a July 12 notice, announced he had suspended Fr Kibuuka and
also banned all activities of his Mamre Prayer Centre, instructing
Catholic believers that it was forbidden to participate in any event
held there.
Fr Kibuuka is accused of disobedience, including
resisting a transfer to Ggoli parish. However, on Friday, Fr Kibuuka
said: “I love Archbishop Lwanga, but he has been misled by self-seekers
who are jealous of my success in praying for people and during the
Pope’s visit,” the priest said, adding that he would have been obedient
if he had been in the wrong.
Flanked by about 100 supporters, Fr
Kibuuka carried documents showing police reports pinning Monsignor
Expedito Magembe of Mt Sion Prayer Centre Bukalango as the architect of
his woes, claiming that Msgr Magembe’s aides gave a one Winifred
Nantongo Shs10m to tarnish his name in the media.
He adds that
Archbishop Lwanga unfairly banished him to Ggoli Parish without
punishing Msgr Magembe. The priest was given a 10-year banishment and
forbidden to talk to people, or make phone calls.
Fr Kibuuka on
Friday said prayers will continue at the Centre, which has a new branch
on Nkrumah Road. Mamre was registered as a private company in March
2016. It is not a church. Fr Kibuuka said he will be under the authority
of Bishop Girol, a Canadian. Priests joining Fr Kibuuka presented on
Friday include Deacon Dr Sylvester Rwakadyeri, Fr Deogratius Ssonko, and
Fr Tony Ssewanyana. He also extended an invite to Fr Anthony Musaala.
Fr Kibuuka also indicated that though he has forgiven his detractors, he will not forgive anyone who continues to libel him. The orthodox church

prayers at Mamre Prayer Centre in Ganda, Namugongo, Wakiso District

By GILLIAN NANTUMEKampala-
Archbishop of Kampala Cyprian Kizito Lwanga yesterday announced the
suspension of controversial priest Jacinto Kibuuka, withdrawing all his
priestly duties, including celebrating the sacraments, preaching the
word of God and pastoral care of the faithful.
This means that Fr
Kibuuka, whose Mamre Prayer Centre – Uganda at Namugongo, has also been
banned, is not allowed to celebrate Mass, until his suspension is
lifted.
In a five-page missive dated July 12, Archbishop Lwanga
said the Kampala Archdiocese tribunal had recommended the suspension of
Fr Kibuuka due to disobedience, including resisting a transfer to Ggoli
Parish, and operating an unauthorised prayer centre - Mamre Prayer
Centre – Uganda, at Namugongo which is outside of his jurisdiction.
“It
is therefore with regret that we wish to inform the general public that
after several months of tedious pastoral and canonical attempts to
salvage the situation, we have been obliged to suspend Rev Fr Jacinto
Kibuuka from the Roman Catholic Priestly ministry,” reads part of the
statement.
Fr Kibuuka could not be reached for a comment by press time as his phone was off.
Fr
Kibuuka, who is popular for his prayer and exorcising sessions,
previously served as Chaplain of Lubaga Hospital. He had
misunderstandings with his superiors and was transferred to Mt Sion
Catholic Prayer Centre, Bukalango. While at Bukalango, he was accused by
one, Winfred Nantongo of sexual impropriety.
However, in a
dramatic move, the accuser made a public apology to Fr Kibuuka and the
Church for the allegations. This time, the investigations of the
Catholic Church exonerated the priest. Fr Kibuuka was then appointed to
Uganda Martyrs’ Catholic Shrine, Namugongo, to coordinate the Golden
Jubilee celebrations of the canonisation of the Uganda Martyrs as well
as coordinate the activities for Pope Francis’ visit last November.
But
according to Archbishop Lwanga’s notice of suspension of the cleric,
during this period, the priest “committed a serious diplomatic error at
the Apostolic Nunciature and was asked to step down from his office”.
It is during this time that the troubled priest then started conducting
prayer services without jurisdiction and harmony with local parish
authorities, and later set up Mamre Prayer Centre - Uganda, which the
statement claims, is fracturing the unity of the Church. Steps taken
Archbishop
Lwanga says Fr Kibuuka had been offered numerous chances for dialogue
and reconciliation, with the latest being on July 11, but he did not
show up before the Kampala Archdiocese tribunal.
“Neither did he
give a reason for his absence,” said the letter, which is copied to all
Catholic bishops in Uganda, the clergy in Kampala Diocese, the Uganda
Episcopal Conference, and the Apostolic Nuncio to Uganda Archbishop
Augustine Micheal Blume.
Archbishop Lwanga has also announced the
banning of activities of Fr Kibuuka’s Mamre Prayer Centre and instructed
the clergy, religious people, and laity who still adhere to the
communion of the Roman Catholic Church that it was forbidden to
participate in an event held there. He also calls upon all Catholics to
pray for Fr Kibuuka so that God assists him to rediscover the bonds of
communion.

We value our ancestors because we are connected to them by the
relationship we have. But, we must always trust only in God. We no
longer need to go through the spirits of the dead because Jesus is our
hope and protector. He alone is the way, the truth and the life, as
Jesus says in John 14:6.
The Church of Uganda condemns syncretism and urges her Bishops and
clergy to use this opportunity to proclaim the sufficiency of Christ
crucified to meet all our needs, and to work pastorally with Christians
to apply this glorious truth practically in their lives.
As we approach the commemoration of the Ugandan Martyrs on 3rd
June, we are challenged by the faithfulness, commitment, and witness of
these youth. Their willingness to renounce the “world, the flesh, and
the devil” and to joyfully embrace the crucified and risen Lord Jesus
Christ, even unto death, is a model for how we should all understand
living a life with a single-minded focus on Jesus as the only Saviour
and only Lord. There is a cost to discipleship and a great reward in
following Christ.
We appeal to all Christians in the Church of Uganda, especially those
serving in prominent positions in government and business, to uphold
Paul’s exhortation to ‘live a life worthy of the calling you have
received’ (Ephesians 4:1), to live ‘above reproach’ (1 Timothy 3:2), and
to not cause others to ‘stumble’ (1 Corinthians 10:32).
Archbishop
of York John Tucker Mugabi Sentamu appeared on the ITV show to promote
his reasons for the need to remain in the upcoming EU referendum but,
the topic moved on to the gay club massacre. Piers challenges Archbishop
over gay marriage in heated debate (NP Photo)
Former advocate of the Supreme Court of Uganda, now the Archbishop of York has said he would “never” describe homosexuality as a sin.
Archbishop John Tucker Mugabi Sentamu appeared on Good Morning Britain Wednesday morning, where he took part in a wide-ranging debate about LGBT rights with host Piers Morgan.
In the segment, Mr Morgan asked the second-ranked Archbishop in the
Church of England about the church’s views on gay marriage following
Sunday’s attack, which took place in a gay club in Florida.
Morgan also challenged the religious leader on staunch opposition to equal marriage.
The Archbishop affirmed that while he still has personal
objections with same-sex marriage, he believes in LGBT equality
generally, and does not consider homosexuality to be a sin.
Asked whether homosexuality is a sin, he insisted: “I would never say
that. I would never say that, because sin is doing something
consciously against God.”
Asked if he was discarding parts of the Bible that condemn
homosexuality, he said: “The whole of scripture must be read in context,
you can’t just pick up a verse and say ‘because it says this’… that
would be a nightmare.
Morgan said: ‘What if I said to you
that you can come to this country as a Ugandan born man but because of
the colour of your skin you can only have a civil partnership, you can’t
have a real one.
Is
Homosexuality sin? Answers, “I would never say that. I will never say
that because sin is doing something consciously against god,”
However, the Archbishop appeared offended after Piers Morgan attempted to contrast his views with discrimination based on race.
Dr Sentamu’s views strongly contrast with the Anglican Church of Uganda, which takes a hardline stance on homosexuality.
However, he maintained his stance on marriage.
The religious leader continued: “You can still have your view on marriage and at the same time be intolerant of homophobia.
“I support civil partnerships because I think that’s a matter of
equality, and a matter of fairness, but for me, it was wrong for the
Government to try to redefine the nature of marriage.”
He said: “My upholding of Christian marriage as I understand it goes
hand-in-hand with saying to people, ‘to diminish homosexual people is
anathema to the Christian faith because God loves us all equally.” About Archbishop John Tucker Mugabi Sentamu
Sentamu was born in 1949 in a village near Kampala, Uganda, the sixth of 13 children.
He studied law (LL.B.) at Makerere University, Kampala, and practiced as
an advocate of the High Court of Uganda until 1974, being briefly a
judge of the High Court.
In 1973 he married Margaret. Three weeks after his marriage he
incurred the wrath of Idi Amin and was detained for 90 days. In a speech
in 2007, he described how during that time he had been “kicked around
like a football and beaten terribly”, saying “the temptation to give up
hope of release was always present”.
He fled Uganda to arrive as an immigrant in the United Kingdom in
1974. On 17 June 2005, UK’s prime minister’s office announced Sentamu’s
translation to York as the 97th archbishop.
He was formally elected by the chapter of York Minster on 21 July,
legally confirmed as archbishop at St Mary-le-Bow, London on 5 October,
and enthroned at York Minster on 30 November 2005.
As Archbishop of York, Sentamu sits in the House of Lords and was
admitted, as a matter of course, to the Privy Council of the United
Kingdom.
Church of Uganda has announced that renowned American Christian
evangelist William Franklin Graham IV, known publicly as Will Graham
will be in Uganda from the 22-24th July, 2016.
Will is the third generation of Grahams (grandson of Billy Graham,
oldest son of Franklin Graham) to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ
under the banner of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
His visit to Uganda is one of several international outreaches this
year, other gatherings are to Scotland, Australia, and multiple cities
in Norway and Canada.
“I’m not trying to be the next Billy Graham; I’m just Will Graham,”
says the ordained minister. “I have a burden in my heart to preach the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. If that’s to an arena full of people or one
person on the street, I will do whatever God is calling me to do.”
The highly anticipated evangelist will lead Christians through Peace
and Joy celebrations at Uganda Christian University grounds.
“The very words that Jesus told Zacheus are the same words echoing in
Mukono Uganda today,”Salvation has come to your house.” Evangelist
Billy Graham Association has accepted the Macedonian call Paul had in a
dream, “come over here in Macedonia and help us.” remarked Mukono
Diocese, Church of Uganda.
“The province of the church of Uganda, UCU, The bible society and
Mukono Diocese are fully in agreement and in preparation. There must be
no reason to miss the celebrations,”
It has also been confirmed that the advance team is already in
Uganda, they joined the Archbishop of the church of Uganda together with
the Bishop of Mukono, Rt. Rev. William James Ssebaggala, evangelical
churches and religious organisations for the grand launching of the Joy
celebrations.
Graham will be joined on-stage by several choirs, as well as American
soloist Mark Christian who serves as worship leader for Will Graham
Celebrations.
