The Development of the Anglican Church in West Ankole 1900 -1990 Yoramu K Bamunoba

The Development of the Anglican Church in West Ankole 1900 - 1990 analyzes the intricacy of the Church-State relationship by providing an account of spiritual life in Ankole before, during and after the advent of Christianity. Under the British colonial administration, the Anglican Church attracted a number of followers on the basis of the promise it held out to the locals for economic and political advantage, as well as social welfare. Ironically, when faced with persecution especially under Idi Amin's regime, Anglican Church congregations swelled and became more devout. In this account relating to an important period of the Anglican Church in West Ankole, the author leverages his personal experiences and insights to create a very important narrative on the Anglican Church and Christianity in Uganda.
