Rev. Henry Luke Orombi, archbishop of Uganda, is scheduled to speak to a Tennessee Valley Presbytery worship service at my home church, Covenant Presbyterian (PCA), in Chattanooga, Tennessee on September 23. If you’re in the area, you may–may–want to drop in around 6:00 that Sunday. It should be glorious. I’m starting to wonder if there will be room to breathe within the sound of Rev. Orombi’s voice. I hope they pipe audio into the hallways.
The archbishop writes about Anglicanism in the current issue of First Things, in which you can see his heart for the word of God and advance of His Kingdom. You can read excerpts, as well as my pastor’s enthusiasm for this service, on Covenant’s website.
Oh, neat! Archbishop Henry is a wonderful preacher; I’ve heard him several times. And some of his stories are hair-raising: he only just survived Idi Amin’s reign of terror. Many of his colleagues didn’t. The Church in Uganda was founded on the blood of martyrs, and that blood has been renewed in living memory.
Don’t miss him, whatever you do. And if you have a chance to speak to him, tell him Will from St. Luke’s of the Mountains sends his best wishes. He probably won’t remember me in particular, but he knows St. Luke’s very well.
Cool. I didn’t think I would have the opportunity even to be near him. I’ll let you know how it goes, especially if we record his message and put it on our website.
