There are moments in the history of any revelation when the door of an institution — long closed — opens from the inside. Not pushed. Not forced. Opened by those within.
That moment is now happening in Uganda.
The Most Reverend Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu, Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Uganda — the head of a church of over 13 million members, organized into 39 dioceses, worshipping in more than 25,000 local parishes across every community in Uganda — has personally summoned his clergy to a five-day conference on the Fifth Epochal Revelation. Palm Sunday Mass
Letter to Byamukama Geoffrey by the Archbishop

The conference is dated to begin on 26th,27th,28th, 29th and 30th April 2026, the arrival day will be 25th .
NB: we shall provide food and accommodations, we pray for positive consideration to this request.
May our father bless you
Yours sincere
The most Rev Kaziimba Mugalu of the Anglican churches of Uganda.
Venue
The venue is All Saints Church Pakwelo Northern Uganda
He has called 110 bishops, reverends, and senior pastors together with 110 lay church administrators from across Uganda’s northern districts — Moroto, Oyam, Kitgum, Abim, and beyond. He is providing the venue, the food, and the accommodations for all 220 participants at his own expense.
He did not need to be approached. He came to this himself — through three previous conferences where the revelation was introduced to smaller gatherings of his clergy — and he found it compelling enough to escalate to the highest level of his authority.
This is not an experiment. This is an invitation.
To understand the magnitude of this moment, it helps to know what the Anglican Church of Uganda actually is.
It is not a small congregation, a regional denomination, or a parachurch organization. According to the Church’s own website, the Anglican Church of Uganda has over 13 million members — approximately 29 percent of Uganda’s entire population — organized into 39 dioceses, each led by a bishop, with more than 25,000 local parishes. It administers hundreds of schools, hospitals, and health care institutions. Half of Uganda’s educational and health infrastructure is faith-based, and the Church of Uganda set that foundation.
Its history is written in courage. When the first missionaries arrived at the court of the Kabaka of Buganda in 1877, their converts faced persecution, torture, and martyrdom. The Uganda Martyrs of 1885–1887 — both Anglican and Catholic — are remembered across the Christian world as witnesses of extraordinary faith. That suffering became the foundation of a church of extraordinary depth and resilience.
The Church survived Idi Amin. It buried its own Archbishop, Janani Luwum, executed on Amin’s orders in 1977 for speaking truth to power. It emerged from that darkness not broken but strengthened and has been a social anchor of Ugandan life ever since.
Today it is one of the largest Anglican provinces in the world. A 2020 peer-reviewed study found it may be the largest province of the entire Anglican Communion as measured by active self-identifying Anglicans — surpassing even the Church of England.
The Archbishop who has issued this invitation is not a ceremonial figure. When Archbishop Kaziimba Mugalu summons 220 church leaders to a conference and offers to deed land for a permanent teaching center, he is placing the institutional weight of this entire body behind that decision.
No Urantia outreach in the world — in any country, in any era of the revelation’s history — has achieved institutional access at this level.
This conference did not emerge from a single bold approach. It grew through patient, faithful work on the ground across several years, led by two Ugandan men who have given their lives to bringing the revelation to their people.
Three previous conferences — each one building on the last — introduced the revelation to clergy of the Church of Uganda, beginning in the Diocese of Hoima under Bishop David Magezi. With each gathering, word spread upward through the church’s hierarchy. The Archbishop was watching. He received what the earlier participants reported. And he made a decision: this teaching belongs before the whole church.
Now he has called the fourth conference himself. Beyond the conference, he has proposed to purchase land and transfer it to the outreach team as a permanent Apostolic Center — a dedicated place for the ongoing training of clergy and teachers in the teachings of the Fifth Epochal Revelation, rooted in the life and gospel of Jesus as the revelation presents it.
A permanent center. Deeded land. Backed by the Archbishop. In the heart of Uganda.
