In a 15-page pastoral letter titled “The Truth Will Set You Free”—released ahead of Uganda Martyrs Day on June 3—the Bishops express deep concern about what they describe as “the painful realities of our time,” including rising torture, corruption, abuse of power, and increasing inequality.
“The nation is on the edge. A change of direction is urgently needed,” said Bishop Joseph Antony Zziwa, Chairperson of the Uganda Episcopal Conference. “We are at a critical moment in our country’s history. If we do not act now, we risk plunging back into the kind of turmoil we hoped was behind us.”
