The Bishop of Mukono Diocese, The Rt. Rev, Enos Kitto Kagodo has shown concern over the mistrust among the people which has led to couples doing DNA tests onto their children.
This comes at a time when it is becoming rampant that married men tend to test their children because of doubting their wives in fear of adultery.
Bishop Kagodo noted this while preaching in the Confirmation Service of over 70 confirmants at St. Thomas Church of Uganda – Kiwanga Town Parish, Seeta Archdeaconry in Mukono Diocese.
The Bishop said that women lack respect in the word of God which gives them space to carelessly engage in sexual intercourse outside marriage. This has led to marriage break ups around the country.
Bishop also appealed to the church management to profitably make use of the church land to benefit the church and sited profitable activities such growing coffee.
The Parish priest of Kiwanga St. Thomas Church of Uganda Parish Rev, Amos Namwanja reported to the Bishop that most of the Christians are living in poverty which has highly affected support towards church activities.
In the same way, the Bishop’s wife, Catherine Kitto Kagodo commended whoever contributed towards their consecration function as the 5th Bishops of Mukono Diocese. However, she appealed to parents to take responsibility of providing their children with needs as away of proper upbringing them.
This service was attended by the Diocesan Secretary Rev.Canon John Ssebudde, Rev Canon David Mpagi of Seeta Archdeaconry, The Reverends, Priests, Mayor of Mukono Municipality Mr. Erisa Nkoyooyo, Chairperson Mukono Central Division Mr. Kabanda Robert Peter, MPs, Councilors and Officers, Heads of schools and many people of God who came in large numbers.
More than 50million shillings were solicited to complete the construction of this church – St. Thomas Kiwanga Town Church.
