Alright, a bishop gave the classic Christmas sermon, but with a political footnote. The Bishop of Busoga, Grace Lubaale, told a bunch of people at Christmas services that real peace and joy only come from trusting Jesus completely. He spoke at the cathedral in Jinja with his family and other clergy around, using a Bible passage about the nativity.
His main push was for humility and faith, saying God has a specific plan for everyone. He pointed to the manger scene as the ultimate lesson in being humble, and used King David as another example of someone lifted up for obeying God. The bishop also did a whole thing on theology, explaining that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine, while clarifying that Mary was his mother but not a goddess herself.
He wrapped up with a practical call for peace as Uganda gets closer to its next election cycle, noting that political seasons are temporary but the nation is permanent. Lubaale also took a moment to thank everyone for their support since he got the job, asking them to keep backing his work leading the diocese.
