The Moratorium Debate in the Anglican Church of Uganda

In 1971, John Gatu called for a moratorium on missionary funds and personnel from Europe and North America. This call stirred a debate among Christian churches and organizations in Africa and beyond. The moratorium received positive and negative responses. Two leaders of the Church of Uganda responded to the moratorium. After 50 years of the discussion of Gatu's call for a moratorium, the Church of Uganda has developed and yet she has other issues of selfhood of the church.

Abstract

In 1971, John Gatu called for a moratorium on missionary funds and personnel from Europe and North America. This call stirred a debate among Christian churches and organizations in Africa and beyond. The moratorium received positive and negative responses. Two leaders of the Church of Uganda responded to the moratorium. After 50 years of the discussion of Gatu's call for a moratorium, the Church of Uganda has developed and yet she has other issues of selfhood of the church.
