Church of Uganda Approves Women's Ordination
Episcopal News Service. September 26, 1990 [90252E]
The Anglican Church of Uganda approved the ordination of women priests at its House of Bishops meeting in August. As in other churches of the Anglican Communion, the East African church has long been divided over the issue. Prior to the August decision, at least six women priests had been ordained by Ugandan bishops acting unilaterally. Women have served as deacons in the Church of Uganda for many years.
