Elsewhere, Uganda’s Parliament wants closer scrutiny of religious sects and more restrictions on non-governmental organizations. In response to this, Baptist World Alliance reports that more than 80 pastors met recently to discuss the tragedy and to denounce the actions of a deadly cult. The pastors threatened to sue the government for harassment and infringement of their rights, fearing a return to the days of dictator Idi Amin when the churches were closed. Please pray for believers in Uganda.
