Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977

Having recently visited Uganda (I've been a couple of times before as well) and also read the book and watched the film "The Last King of Scotland", I am really interested to read about Luwum. He sounds like a very holy man, not afraid to put his life at risk and firm in the belief that politics and poverty are things that the Church should speak about, and thoughtful about how Christ speaks in Africa and how Africans can speak about Christ.

Although Uganda is a beautiful country and is in many ways a success story - dramatic reduction in HIV infection, the South largely peaceful and prospering, it still has big problems, especially with conflict in Northern Uganda. Pray for the country and its people.
