REMEMBERING THE KANUNGU CULT TRAGEDY

March 17th, 2021 marks the 21st anniversary of the infamous Kanungu tragedy, in which the cult known as the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God murdered hundreds of its followers in a burning church. What have Christians in East Africa learned in the generation since this event? Both the church and the general public are still highly vulnerable, and evidence of our crisis of discernment is everywhere. This statement by Rodgers Atwebembeire, director of the Africa Centre for Apologetics Research, is a challenge to make vigilance and discipleship our legacy.
