Ugandan Bishop forced to Retire

The Rt Revd Cyprian Bamwoze of Busoga Diocese has been forced to retire. The Ugandan House of Bishops Meeting in late July made the decision after years of conflict between the Bishop and his diocese. Earlier this year Bishop Bamwoze was sent on forced sabbatical leave to enable the Province to tackle the leadership problems in his diocese. The Bishop's retirement will take effect immediately after his sabbatical leave ends in February 1997.
