Ugandan Churches and Debt: A Necessary Evil?

Churches in Uganda and the Issue of Borrowing: A Matter of Faith and Finance In Uganda, the practice of churches borrowing money to fund construction projects has sparked debate. This practice, while not inherently wrong, raises questions of financial responsibility and transparency. A recent video by MillennialsforChristMinistries on social media sheds light on the issue. "It's not wrong for churches to borrow funds to build the house of God," states the speaker in the video. He argues that this is a common practice, and that churches should be transparent about their finances. The video also touches upon the legal aspects of church registration. The speaker emphasizes the importance of registration for churches to be able to enter into contracts, receive donations, and protect themselves legally. The video highlights the need for financial literacy within the church community. It encourages responsible borrowing and emphasizes the importance of transparency in church finances. The discussion around church finances in Uganda is complex, but this video offers a starting point for understanding the different perspectives and challenges involved.
