The 1960s Holy Spirit Movement traditions in Uganda

Record summary

Uganda’s post-independence religious landscape included African Independent Churches and Holy Spirit-oriented ministries that combined biblical prophecy, healing, exorcism, and local religious idioms. Contemporary Catholic, Anglican, government, and ethnographic accounts recorded disputes over authority and the interpretation of visionary experience. These materials can support comparison with Ethiopian and West African prophetic movements, but “Holy Spirit movement” is not a single uniformly organized entity. Identifying the congregation, founder, and district is necessary before drawing conclusions about teachings or reported phenomena.
