DESCRIPTION:Today we are remembering James Hannington a nineteenth century
  bIshop who was the first Anglican Bishop of East Africa\, and was martyre
 d on October 29\, 1885\, while attempting to establish a new route to Ugan
 da. Above all\, he was known for his courageous evangelism. \n\nBorn in 18
 47 in Sussex\, England\, James Hannington was ordained as an Anglican prie
 st in 1874 and became curate at Hurstpierpoint. In 1882\, he volunteered f
 or missionary work in East Africa with the Church Missionary Society\, but
  had to return to England due to illness.\n\nConsecrated as the first Bish
 op of Eastern Equatorial Africa in 1884\, Hannington returned to Africa in
  1885 to establish a new route to Uganda. But he and his companions were m
 artyred near Lake Victoria on orders from King Mwanga II of Buganda\, who 
 feared foreign intrusion. \n\nCome to church and find out how his martyrdo
 m\, along with subsequent persecutions\, ultimately strengthened the growt
 h of Christianity in Uganda rather than suppressing it.\n\nPicture above:
