THE CHALLENGES OF ECUMENICAL DIALOGUE IN UGANDA

Polycarp Opio



Abstract

Christianity is one of the most widely practiced religions in Uganda. Uganda’s constitution
guarantees freedom of religion for every citizen. The article presents the history of missionary
activity in Uganda and the contemporary religious and social situation. Catholics in Uganda remain
faithful to the Holy See, while Protestants and Anglicans follow the spirit of Martin Luther.
The current cultural, social and political challenges lean both sides towards ecumenical dialogue.
It is therefore important to truly un-derstand the essence of ecumenism.

Keywords:

Uganda, Christianity, Catholicism, missionary activity, ecumenism, ecumenical dialogue.
