The leader of the Province, church of Uganda, Archbishop Luke Orombi has lauded the Primate of the Province of the Anglican church of Rwanda, Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini for his dedication in the fight against homosexuality in the Anglican Communion.

He said this on Thursday 19 during a farewell dinner organized by the Province of the Anglican church of Rwanda at Kigali extension guest house.

The prelate who was accompanied by his wife Mama Fibi Orombo was in the country for nine days.

He came to Rwanda to have a rest as well as learning from Rwanda’s experience after the 1994 Mayhem which left over one million Tutsi dead.

"Kolini, you are a great leader. You have shown the whole world that God is powerful, may God keep using you at any time of need,” Orombi said, adding that both Rwanda and Ugandan churches will continue fighting for the good cause of the bible.

He also commended the good leadership of President Paul Kagame, describing him a statesman and a unique leader on the African continent.

"I have been praying for President Kagame, and indeed God has answered my prayers. The man is a charismatic leader”, Orombi told several Christians who had gathered at Kigali guest house to bid him farewell.

He noted that it was satanic for the innocent Tutsis to be killed because of their identity. He urged Rwandans to love and respect one another for the sake of pleasing God the Almighty.
The general secretary Province of the church of Rwanda Rev. Emmanuel Gatera, hailed Archbishop Orombi for streamlining evangelism across the globe and added that Rwanda’s gates are open for leaders like Orombi.

On his part, the leader of the Anglican church of Rwanda, Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini thanked his counterpart for his love for Rwandans and urged him to keep them at heart since Rwanda and Uganda have many things in common.

During his visit, Archbishop Luke Orombi paid a courtesy call to President Paul Kagame at Urugwiro Village.
