en masse

There is a strong Christian presence in Uganda. Just down the road from where we live is a beautiful cathedral that was finished just a couple of years ago. One Sunday we had some things that came up that kept us from being able to travel to Jinja (about an hour away) for church so we decided to go to mass instead. I'd actually been wanting to visit an African church while I was here anyway so it was a perfect opportunity. We walked the 5 minutes through a field of corn to the cathedral on a hill and attended the traditional service delivered in Lugandan. During the hymns, there was still an African feel as choir boys played drums with the congregation. It was really beautiful. On the front doors are carvings of different bible stories. I really liked this one of the good samaritan, so anyway, enjoy!
