Henry Luke Orombi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Luke Orombi (born 1949) is the Archbishop of the (Anglican) Church of Uganda and Bishop of Kampala. Orombi was educated at Bishop Tucker Theological College in Mukono, Uganda, and St John's College, Nottingham, UK.
Before becoming Archbishop, he was Diocesian Youth Officer Madi/West Nile (1979-1986), Archdeacon at Goli in Moyo District (1987-1993) and Bishop of Nebbi District (1993-2003).
He has become an influential leader of the Global South during the Anglican realignment.
Archbishop Orombi appointed two dissident American Episcopalian priests to bishops, who formed a breakaway American branch of the Episcopal church under the authority of the Church of Uganda. Both Orombi and the dissident priests opposed the American church's ordination of homosexual priests and other issues.[1]
