UGANDA- As Christians begin observing the Holy week, the most sacred time of the year for Catholics, Protestants and orthodox communities across the world Ugandans are being urged to reflect and start campaigning against hate speech and bad mouthing others because of political differences.
This was disclosed by Canon Sam Rogers Wairagala, head of Laity at St Peter’s COU-Kisaasi as hundreds of Christians comprised of families, relatives and friends from the Anglican Church gathered last evening to observe Palm Sunday.
