OUR JOURNEY OF FAITH
1972
Foundation & Vision
In 1970, the Most Rev Sabiiti instituted a commission of inquiry. The commission was chaired by Mr. John Bikangaga, who had led to the making of the 1970 Church of Uganda (CoU) constitution. The commission was also set up to review the CoU Finances and Administration. In 1970, the Most Rev Sabiiti instituted a commission of inquiry. The commission was chaired by Mr. John Bikangaga, who had led to the making of the 1970 Church of Uganda (CoU) constitution. The commission was also set up to review the CoU Finances and Administration.
However, one of the things the Bikangaga commission recommended was the creation of a central diocese in order to facilitate the archbishop’s duties. The hidden motive was to have a special seat for the Archbishop. When the report was published in 1970, Namirembe and West Buganda dioceses rejected it.
The Vision of the Diocese is A Christ-Centred, Self-Sustaining Church.

Archdeaconry Strengthening
Structural reforms led to the empowerment of the Makerere, Kisugu, and Ntinda Archdeaconries. This regional focus allowed the Diocese to better address the unique spiritual and administrative needs of every parish and its surrounding community.
