With most Christians especially the Born Agains spending most of their time in overnights, praise and worship sessions and lunch hour fellowships, President Yoweri Museveni has urged religious leaders to encourage their followers to engage in productive activities instead.
“It would be easy if all the Christians were following what Jesus did, by engaging in income generating activities. The church would be built in a short time. Besides feeding the hungry, preaching and healing the sick, Jesus was also a carpenter. Every Christian must engage in an economic activity, especially in commercial agriculture, the services sector or ICT,” said Museveni as he joined Christians at All Saints Cathedral, Nakasero for a fundraising service.
“Christians must refrain from the escapist attitude of saying that they are mere visitors on earth. We must subdue nature and use it for both God’s and man’s good,” he added
The president pledged Shs500m towards the construction of the new cathedral.
