The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kisooro, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Reverend Canon Godfrey Mbitse was consecrated as the third Bishop of Muhabura Diocese on Sunday. The consecration and enthronement ceremony took place at 10:57 AM at St. Andrews Cathedral Seseme in Kisoro district.
The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kazimba Mugalu, Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, presided over the ceremony. Bishop Mbitse has succeeded Cranmer Mugisha, who retired early in 2021. Bishop Mugisha was originally scheduled to retire in 2024.
During the service, Bishop Dan Zoreka of Kinkiizi Diocese delivered a sermon in which he advised Bishop Mbitse to avoid any actions that could lead to conflicts among Christians and clergy in the diocese. Our reporter attended the function and captured images of the ceremony.
