Pastor weighs in on Uganda’s cleaning mandate on Sabbaths

Pastor weights in on Uganda’s cleaning mandate on Sabbaths Pastor Immanuel Ogwal, the Africa Regional Director at Adventist World Radio (AWR) wrote an open letter to the church leadership in Uganda and the church at large, voicing concerns about the government's cleaning mandate held on Sabbaths and what was called exemption for the Seventh-day Adventists. Faith Reporters obtained a copy and this is what it says: Image of Pastor Immanuel Ogwal on X A concern about the S abbath exemption and the precedent we may be setting By Pastor Immanuel Ogwal Adventist World Radio (AWR) Africa Region Director ................... I commend the leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Uganda for engaging the Government on the issue of communal cleaning scheduled for the last Sabbath of the month. I understand that, following these engagements with the Prime Minister, Adventists have been granted an exemption, with the understanding that we may undertake the cleaning o...

Teaching Catholicism in schools reduces fanaticism, Ugandan education authorities say

Ugandan education authorities have robustly defended the employing of Catholicism within the national education system, following a social media complaint alleging that schools were exclusively teaching Catholic doctrines to children. Ugandan pupils which education give Catholicism to combat fanaticism Dr Asuman Lukwago, Permanent Secretary at the Education Service s Commission, dismissed the complaint without requesting evidence, instead commending the positive impact of integrating Catholicism into the curriculum. He asserted that such exposure fosters good citizenship and reduces fanaticism. "What is the problem with that?" Dr Lukwago questioned this week. "It is better to allow your children to be exposed to a variety of knowledge about God, and this will make them better global citizens, and reduce fanaticism." What is a problem with that?? It's better to allow your Children to be exposed to a variety of knowledge about God, and this will make the...

An open letter to Pr. Ted Wilson, President at the SDA General Conference

Dear Elder, Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. I’m Patrick Miller, a brother from Jamaica (I would use my Church address but I was cut off from the Church as I shall show you in the next paragraphs). Currently, I’m alone at my cold house which used to be warm when my lovely wife was still with me, a wanderer at the sheer edge of the church where I used to be a Deacon, Men’s Ministry Leader, Elder in Training and certified Sabbath School Teacher. The Church disowned me and right now I’m wondering: so, I don’t belong to my brothers? Am I really disfellowshipped to belong to others where I am a bird of different feathers? Dear Elder and Brother, I and Lavern Brown Miller married in 2012 at Moneague Seventh-day Adventist Church, North Jamaica Conference, Jamaica Union of the Inter-American Division with high hopes of starting a new life in a church where we became “new creatures”. Things started changing in 2016 when misunderstandings broke o...

When should medics be liable for their practice? (Part six)

Elements of negligence: informed Consent, abandonment This is a carefully researched and penned article on one of the hot subjects in the field of law and medicine—medical malpractice. It is in seven parts to enable the reader keep track of its flow By Isaac Bizumuremyi In normal circumstances, the element of lack of informed consent is separated from the element of lack of due care. This occurs when a doctor fails to provide a patient with sufficient information regarding their treatment to enable him or her to make an informed decision. Such failure constitutes lack of informed consent. A claim for more aggravated misconduct known as battery (an intentional causation of harmful or offensive contact with another person without that person's consent) can also arise when there was no consent whatsoever to a particular procedure or treatment of a portion of the body. The negligence factor associated with the element of lack of consent, stems from a duty of every physi...

Stories of ordeal from the unvaccinated in Rwanda

I have learnt of families that were locked inside their houses on conditions that they would go out only after they have accepted vaccination. Others are in custody for not accepting vaccination and many who, after being overcome by the inhuman treatment by authorities, have accepted to have the substance they feared into their bodies to buy their freedom from custody. I have learnt about many squatting in bushes and thickets while others have crossed crocodile-infested rivers into the jungles in the neighbouring countries. Some have been intercepted in any way by Rwandan authorities as they try to cross the borders, a country that has a long history of its people finding refuge in the neighbouring countries. The stories Last week, the government of Rwanda in Central Africa started implementing measures that restrict the unvaccinated from accessing essential services including public transport. As a Kigali City dweller, little did I know that the hunting of the unvaccinated ...

The Believer’s call to Civil Disobedience?

They will tell you to obey authorities as the Apostles said but they will not tell you that the Apostles disobeyed authorities. This article by Adventist Review answers believers' questions about why and when to disobey state authorities. Civil disobedience and Christianity faithful believers Over the years Christians have faced the question of what to do when following religious convictions come in direct conflict with obedience to governmental authority. There are two ways that this conflict occurs, and there are biblical examples for both. The first happens when a government mandates something that stands in conflict with religious convictions. The book of Daniel offers a helpful example of this form of conflict when King Nebuchadnezzar issued the decree that everyone was to bow down to the golden image, in direct violation of the second commandment (Dan. 3; cf. Ex. 20:4-6). Another example of this can be found in the book of Exodus, where Pharaoh commanded the Hebrew ...

Biometric IDs, digital currency and the aftermath

Citizenship is not defined by biometric data. The governments are committing crimes by requiring citizens to submit biometric information in order to receive identification documentation as citizens The Rwandan government mandated bio metric identification upon citizens, using the latest anthropometric tools in the 1920-30s. [Photo: https://gened.org/ten-steps/] By Kelly Rwamapera The Bible says that discretion preserves individuals (Proverbs 2:11). As the scroll of end time events continues to unroll (LDE 17.2), it is wise for individuals to examine everything with discretion in order to make informed decisions. The right identification of a citizen The Apostle Paul demonstrated his Roman citizenship while imprisoned in Macedonia (Acts 16:37). Citizenship is rooted in one’s origin, shared historical experiences, and the place of birth within the boundaries designated by God for habitation (Acts 17:26). Paul was granted Roman citizenship because he was born in Tarsus, in ...

Hichilema’s UN address challenges the UN to go back to Protestant roots

President Hichilema of Zambia is Master Guide at Seventh-day Adventist Church The Seventh-day Adventist and seventh President of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema, called upon the United Nations to return to the drawing board for what motivated the establishment of the nations' body. Hichilema’s maiden speech to the 76ths United Nations General Assembly is full of authority and confidence when tackling the principles of democracy, human rights and freedom, rarely found in most presidents especially the Africans. In a world where the Bible is silenced in the walls of political caucuses, Hichilema firmly quoted the prophetic message of Isaiah 2: 4 on the UN Plaza. “I am drawn to the prophetic inscription on the wall of the united nations plaza, ‘They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” Isaiah Wall at the United Nations Plaza He does not only tells the UN tha...

Christian faithful; subordination and civil disobedience

What should we, as believers, do when faced with a law that appears to conflict with biblical principles that impact our ability to freely practice our religious beliefs? (This is the second part of the whole story by Adventist Review about civil disobedience and a believer. Please find the first part HERE ) I believe that the Bible gives guidance on this issue. Following the counsel of Jesus, we should “render . . . unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s,” recognizing and supporting the government’s right to legislate on secular matters and comply with those laws when possible. But we must also remember our duty to render unto God as our first priority. This means that when laws are in conflict with biblical mandates, our allegiance to God should always come first. This brings me to a term that is often used but has many different definitions: civil disobedience. Using the following definition, I believe that we as Christians at times are called to civil disobedience. C...
