Archbishop Janani Luwum 1922-1977“More than 20,000 people gathered in Mucwini, Kitgum, today to honour and celebrate the life, ministry, and martyrdom of Archbishop Janani Luwum, the Church of Uganda’s 2nd Ugandan Archbishop.

After arresting him on false charges, former President Idi Amin Dada assassinated him on 16th February 1977…”

– from The Church of Uganda.

Many readers will remember Bishop Festo Kivengere visiting Sydney after the assassination – and his powerful evangelistic talks and bookI love Idi Amin”.
