Uganda Christian University (UCU) has republished its relationship with its mother institution, Church of Uganda with an enormous contribution of 113,063,000 Ugandan shillings. The contribution was delivered by the University Vice Chancellor Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi yesterday to the Anglican Communion with a current campaign of Church of Uganda’s Love Gift Fundraising to clear the debt on Church House
“Our VC Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi, this morning presented a dummy love gift cheque worth UGX 113,063,000 towards the church house to the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda and UCU Chancellor, The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu,” the UCU social media confirmed.
Church House is a 16-storey commercial office building on Kampala Road, just opposite the Bank of Uganda. It is a visible symbol of our commitment to becoming a self-supporting Church. The story of Church House began in the early 1970’s when Archbishop Janani Luwum served as the third archbishop.
The Church dreamt of a commercial office building that would generate income to support the Church’s ministries of education, healthcare, development, evangelism and mission. Unfortunately, Archbishop Luwum was martyred in 1977 and the country descended into serious challenges, followed by war, hyper inflation, and massive devaluation of the Ugandan shilling.
