In the FYI file:
A Life Christian University is starting up in Kampala this month and one its purposes will be to discourage gay culture.
From the Daily Monitor:
A US-based Life Christian University has opened up a branch in Kampala to teach ethics, evangelism and church management, its officials have said. The Academic Dean, Dr. Dennis Sempebwa said the university will apply the American syllabus of evangelism and discourage gay culture in Africa.
“To be a pastor, God calls you but you must be trained. They should have the knowledge on how to handle the church.” The campus director, Dr Steven Kawula said the university will open this month on Bombo Road.
“We developed the idea of expanding to Kampala to access evangelists so that we can save the growing born again churches from getting wasted. We shall also offer other courses to suit businessmen and other academicians,” Mr Sempebwa told journalists in Kampala last week.
A Dennis Sempebwa is also the pastor of Santuary of Life church in East Lenox, IL, near Chicago. I emailed the church to learn if this is the same man who is leading the Kampala campus. I suspect so given that SoL’s pastor is from Uganda. Life Christian University in Florida is the awarder of Dr. Sempebwa’s degree and I suspect the chartering school for the Kampala branch.

Please could we have a translation, Mr. Meshack? (Our Swahili – I think this is in Swahili – is not that good!)
(I got the bit about the Bible School[s] not being a present to Uganda only, but also to Tanzania and to other African countries, and some other bits, such as the apparent suggestion that taking science seriously is some kind of ‘idolatory’ – which it most certainly is NOT, in my view … The concern among many of us is the motive for such ‘gifts’: are they just another manifestation of ‘western interference’, using the often seductive qualities of ‘pat’ and/or trite religion’ that sidesteps awkward questions.)
Bwana Yesu asifiwe watumishi wa Mungu.
Kwanza hongereni kwa kufungua Chuo cha Biblia uganda,ni zawadi ya pekee sana kwetu hapa africa na si uganda tu.
Mimi ninaombi,Hapa kwetu Tanzania wachungaji wengi walioshambani mwa Bwana hawajasoma shule ya Biblia jambo ambalo linafanya mafanikio ya huduma kwa ujumla kuwa hafifu sana japo ni watu wenye bidii na moyo wa utumishi,lakini wamepungukiwa elimu ya Mungu.
Watu hawa wakifundishwa na kuelimishwa juu ya Mungu kisawasawa wanaweza kufanya kazi ya Mungu vizuri sana na wao kuzaa viongozi wenye nguvu kuliko sasa.
Kwa kujua jambo hili nimekuwa na msukumo usio wa kawaida wa kuwafikia viongozi hawa ,mimi mwenyewe nimekuwa nikifanya semina ndogondogo za watumishi ,Pia nimekuwa niwaomba watumishi wa Mungu mbalimbali hasa toka kenya kuja kufanya mafudisho ya Biblia kwa viongozi.wamekuwa wakija kufanya kozi mbalimbali na nimeona mwanga kidogo ukiangaza ndani ya mioyo yao na huduma zao.
Sasa Baada ya kuona web yenu ikizungumzia kufungua tawi la chuo cha Biblia nikaona vyema niwaandikieni mje na Tanzania hasa Mkoa wa Mwanza mahari ninapo ishi ili kuwasaidia watumishi hawa wanao mpenda Yesu.Mnaweza kuleta kozi fupi fupi na mkatusaidia.Tafadhali watumishi wa Bwana njoni mtusaidie.

Their organization, their church, their school – their rules. There are churches in America that practically worship the military and I choose not to go. There are schools that preach hatred – and I choose not to go. So let another do as I do. Choose – what is the christian way.

Never heard of it, but then my stints in universities were well before the birth of that ‘accrediting commision.’
