Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31445, member: 636"] President Yoweri Kaguta helped start a new book about marriage written by Father Narcisio Bagumisiriza. He wants people to keep the African culture strong. The book compares regular African weddings with church weddings. The President thinks we should fight against ideas from outside Africa like homosexuality. He believes African culture must stay safe from these outside ideas. Henry Musasizi read the President's words at Christ the King Church because the President could not come himself. Musasizi works as State Minister of Finance. The President said African music, dancing, stories, songs, and special events need writing down for future children to learn from. He asked people to feel proud of their African roots. He said Africa has everything good, including ways to make money and strong family ties. The book talks about keeping marriage healthy by following both church rules and African ways. Minister Musasizi thanked Father Bagumisiriza for writing clearly about the problems facing families today. The President agrees with the book's message that homosexuality hurts family life. Father Bagumisiriza says people who marry the traditional way should later have church blessings added to their marriage. The book speaks directly about these issues without hiding anything. Minister Musasizi asked churches to teach young students about proper Christian living. He thinks schools need more lessons about these topics. The President showed his support by giving Father Bagumisiriza fifty million Ugandan shillings. This money helps the writer continue his important work. Minister Musasizi added five million shillings from his funds. Both men believe this book matters greatly for keeping African values alive. The church event brought many people together to celebrate the new book. Readers will learn how African marriage customs compare with Christian marriage practices. The author spent years studying both systems before writing his findings. Many church members plan to read the book and share its ideas with their families. Leaders hope these teachings will help young Africans appreciate their heritage better than before. [/QUOTE]
