The
Anglican chaplain for Uganda’s parliament has been advising Christians
who give their regular offering in shillings (the local currency) to use
dollars and pounds as well.
Rev Canon Christine Shimanya said this during a sermon at Namugongo Martyrs Church, on Sunday:
Some Christians have dollars and pounds earned from international
conferences; instead they change the money to shillings before bringing
it to church as offertory.
Bring those dollars and pounds, God needs them.” Another clergyman,
Canon Henry Ssegawa, has come out in support of Rev Shimanya’s call,
saying the church needs money with higher purchasing power, the Daily
Monitor reports.
