There is a new power today at work in the Christian church in Uganda. It is a power that can bear up under the unpredictable whims and the savage persecution of one of the most notorious dicators of our time, Idi Amin. It is a pwoer that answers threats with reason, torture with endurance, execution with love. It is the power of the living God, released as it has been released perhaps nowhere else on earth at the present time. Festo Kivengere, one of Uganda's ighteen Anglican bishops, documents the growth of this pwoer, tracing the steadily increasing confrontation between the Christian church and the government of Idi Amin. He gives an eyewitness account of the climax of that confrontation -- the assassination of Janani Luwum, the Anglican Archbishop of Uganda, on February 19, 1977. He relates his own flight from the country two days later under cover of darkness. I Love Idi Amin is the dramatic story of how God is using pain and suffering to build a new man and a new church for His glory. --
Kivengere was a man of his age. Neither he nor the churches around him were perfect. But they had experienced God in an unusual way. I do not think his theology would meet the robust requirements of today. He was a child of the Keswick movementChrist-centred, pietistic, devotional. His preaching was anecdotal and winsome. It might not fit in easily with much of the evangelical scene as it is today. Our day may demand more accurate theological thinking although we cannot deny that Festo did indeed read deeply, extensively and constantly in very solid theological material. Yet for all that, Festo Kivengere has a great deal to teach us about personal love for Christ, unflagging belief in the power of the cross to save people and great endurance to the end.
Asked to help with some university research by Bishop Kivengere, Yakobo and his family are put in danger when Idi Amin's soldiers attack. Ages 8 to 12.
The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church is a multivolume study by Hughes Oliphant Old that canvasses the history of preaching from the words of Moses at Mount Sinai through modern times. In Volume 1, The Biblical Period, Old begins his survey by discussing the roots of the Christian ministry of the Word in the worship of Israel. He then examines the preaching of Christ and the Apostles. Finally, Old looks at the development and practice of Christian preaching in the second and third centuries, concluding with the ministry of Origen.
Missionary of Reconciliation: The Role of the Doctrine of Reconciliation in the Preaching of Festo Kivengere of Uganda, 1971–1988 Alfred Olwa (Sydney, Australia) In the period 1971–1988, the Christian doctrine of reconciliation was central to Festo Kivengere’s preaching in Uganda and beyond. This doctrine so gripped Kivengere that it shaped his attitude to life, to others, and even to his enemies. He exhorted his audiences to be reconciled with God and then with their fellow human beings, as part of God’s remedy for a broken world. In his preaching, Kivengere depicts Jesus as a missionary of reconciliation who brings a fresh and alternative life, characterized by the reconciling love and peace from God. He preached the Christian doctrine of reconciliation into a Uganda where Christians lived under the horrors of Amin’s rule and its aftermath. According to Kivengere, the world changes through the preaching of the reconciliation centered in Jesus Christ.
From the 1930s the East African Revival influenced Christian expression in East Central Africa and around the globe. This book analyses influences upon the movement and changes wrought by it in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania and Congo, highlighting its impact on spirituality, political discourse and culture. A variety of scholarly approaches to a complex and changing phenomenon are juxtaposed with the narration of personal stories of testimony, vital to spirituality and expression of the revival, which give a sense of the dynamism of the movement. Those yet unacquainted with the revival will find a helpful introduction to its history. Those more familiar with the movement will discover new perspectives on its influence.
In Uganda God's Generals: The Transformers, Eddie Sempala writes about some preachers who are involved in Uganda's transformation by the gospel of Jesus Christ right from the East African revival to present day. Simeon Nsibambi - The evangelist who preached revival in Uganda before he was joined by Joe Church with whom the East African revival was birthed.
