Soroti Anglican Bishop, Rt. Rev. Kosea Odongo has advised women to respect their husband’s in order to protect their marriages. However, the Bishop added that men also need to respect their wives to promote harmony in the home. 

Bishop Odongo gave the advice during his sermon while closing the Anglicans Believers Conference at Bethany Comprehensive Girls Secondary School in Soroti city.

The Anglicans Believers Conference that ran for one week conference was attended by over 2000 Christians from the Archdeaconries of Soroti, Serere, Kalaki, Kaberamaido, Amuria, Kapelebyong, Usuk and Katakwi.

The believers sang and danced to traditional songs.

In his sermon, the Bishop of Soroti Anglican Diocese, Rt. Rev. Kosea Odongo urged women to respect their husbands and called upon men to love their wives as well.

Bishop Odongo also underscored the need to hyave the spirit of Unity in families, adding that family unity was the building block and cornerstone of national unity and development.

He pointed out that when Christians are united they can jointly construct more churches.

According to Bishop Odongo, there is no prison that can change a person if they are rested and put in jail for wrongdoing. He added that it is only God that can change somebody’s life and therefore there is need to continuously search for God and spiritual nourishment.

Bishop Odongo also called for love for each other because when we do not love each other Satan takes an advantage.

One of the Christians of Soroti Diocese Hellen Okullo, appreciated the bishop for organising the Annual Anglicans diocesan believers’ conference saying that they had spent three years without one due to COVID restrictions and had longed for it.

The conference was held under the theme Arise, Shine for your light, from Isiah 60:1

 Another Christian, Sam Ewou said the conference was well attended with over 2000 Christians turning up from across the Church of Uganda Soroti Diocese community.
