3.0 HIS SOCIETAL ROLE 3.1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER THREE Right from his youth, Frederick started his involvement in church activities. The religious and catholic environment of his background and the hardworking spirit in which his parents brought him up, moulded his character that determined his future career as God’s devoted servant in the church. In this chapter we examine his societal role by looking at the structural reforms and administration that he put in place in the church. This is meant to enable us evaluate his religious and social career, that made him a great figure in the church. 3.2 HIS RELIGIOUS CAREER 3.2.1 Focus on Unity At his inception as Bishop of Arua, Frederick straight away focused on the unity of those who were entrusted by God under his care. He saw his Diocese as comprised of a multi-ethnicity of the Lugbari, the Madi, the Kakwa, and the Alur peoples, all of more or less distinct cultural and linguistic backgrounds and differences; who therefore needed to be united in Christ 1 . He therefore took as his motto the Latin words “Ut unum sint” meaning “may they be one” (Jn. 17:21). This became his basic theme of the evangelisation of God’s people in the region. In support of this presentation he had this to say: I took the Motto “Ut unum sint” because of the different ethnic groups in the Diocese. I had to place the Diocese for unity 2 . Frederick therefore, saw his call to the episcopate principally as, a vocation to bring unity among the people of West Nile. 31
