The Anglican Chaplain for Parliament, Rev. Canon Christine Shimanya, has told his congregation to start giving offerings in dollars and pounds. He criticised members of always bringing in the local currency ‘shillings. Daily Monitor reports that Rev Shimanya said this while delivering a sermon at Namugongo Martyrs Church of Uganda. According to him, “Some Christians have dollars and pounds earned from international conferences; instead they change the money to Shillings before bringing it to church as offertory. “Bring those dollars and pounds, God needs them.”

The cleric also criticised Christians who prefer physical exercises to prayers on Sunday. Canon Henry Ssegawa also backed Rev Canon Shimanya’s position saying the church needs money with higher purchasing power. He said, “Some church members are already contributing in dollars, pounds, Kenya Shillings, name it. They have told you to bring dollars and pounds so please give dollars and pounds as offertory.”
