The challenge Uganda faced in the 1962 elections was religious denominationism. Our current peace is a result of rejecting that division. African societies are ancient, over 4.5 million years old, but the introduction of new religions led to conflict in just 13 years. Despite this, some of us embraced Christianity. I found six key points which I shared today: 1. Resurrection: Traditional African beliefs didn't emphasise this, but Christianity reassured us of life after death. 2. Love: Jesus teaches us to love God fully and our neighbours as ourselves. This would be foundational if I were to start a church. 3. Parable of the Talents: This parable emphasises using our gifts to glorify God and take responsibility for our actions. 4. Good Samaritan: When discussing racism, we must remember this powerful message of compassion and kindness.
