This came after the latter said it would break away from the Church of England, an Ecclesia Anglicana.
The threat came after the authority of Canterbury was condemned for supporting same-sex marriages. The Church of Uganda condemned this as well saying it is a path leading away from the Biblical teachings of the church.
However, though, it also made a list of other theological and liturgical issues that forced its breakaway.
According to pastor Newman, the decision by the COU is full proof that Uganda is a remnant nation. This is as it was written in book of Romans Chapter 9:28-29. Remnant is a small minority of people who will remain faithful to God and so be saved.
“If the Lord never left us a descendant, we would have turned into Sodom and Gomorrah. So, if the Church of Uganda is separating from Canterbury over homosexuality, that moves on to confirm that we as a nation of Uganda, we are a remnant nation which vowed to stand for God,” he said.
He further said that we always have to respect how God created us as male and female to be a companion for each other. He also talked about the unchangeable standard of Christian marriage between one man and one woman.
Pastor Newman made these remarks during the National prayer conference. It is a three-day conference that started on Tuesday and will run until Thursday.
He also called upon Christians to repent for their shortcomings and maintain Christian values.
“What is going to change this nation is all of us to realize that we are a nation, we stand for God and our country. If we turn back to the Lord, the Lord will begin to give guidance, blessing in the light of the Word of God, everything will change. The church has got to give our political leaders light on what God expect them to do,” he said.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
