indeed Archbishop Henry Orombi and Pastor Martin Sempe have been leading a campaign in support of the government’s bill. Both men are associates of the American evangelist Rick Warren, another prominent anti-gay visitor to Uganda. Warren, pastor of the powerful Saddleback church — America’s eighth biggest — was invited by U.S. President Barack Obama to give the invocation at his inauguration and has been named by both Time and Newsweek as among their top 15 world leaders. His book, The Purpose Driven Life, has sold over 30 million copies and is much read in Uganda. Naturally, the Church of Uganda is vehemently against gay clergymen and when retired Bishop Christopher Senyonjo preached tolerance toward gays in 2005, Archbishop Orombi not only forbade him to preach but stripped him of his pension.
