Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news April 23, 2021

The former Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Stanley Ntagali, has publicly asked for forgiveness from the church and all Ugandans. This is after he admitted that he committed adultery saying that it is the devil that made him do it.

Ntagali made the remarks on Thursday in front of 36 bishops at St. Paul’s cathedral Namirembe as the Church of Uganda marked 60 years of self-governance. He explained how the devil tempted him to commit the sin just like how any other human can be tempted. He thereafter sought forgiveness from the church and Ugandans for his adulterous ways.

“On Christmas Eve 1974, as a young man I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ, and I still love the Lord because he has loved me and I have loved to serve him over the years. Sadly, I fell into sin of adultery and I confessed to the Lord to forgive me and I want the church to forgive me” – Ntagali said.

He further asked Reverend Christopher and his wife to forgive him adding that he intended to remain close to Jesus.

Stanley Ntagali served as the 8th Archbishop of the Church of Uganda before retiring on March 1, 2020. He had hit the retirement age of 65. He had also previously served as the Bishop of Kampala as well as bishop of Masindi-Kitara diocese from 2004-2012.

Ntagali committed adultery with Judith Tukamuhabwa, the wife of a priest, Rev Christopher.

The current archbishop, Dr. Stephen Kazimba Mugalu suspended him from his priestly duties in January for his adulterous acts.
