The Bishop emphasized the importance of the vows they exchanged, serving God with undivided devotion, and all believers without discrimination.
The venerable Rev Canon Joram Akoragye, Archdeacon of Rubaare C.O.U asked the ordained priests and deacons to follow Jesus Christ footsteps in order to serve His flocks diligently.
