Lango Diocese Bishop Emeritus Rev Can Capt. John Charles Odur-Kami, has fired a warning shot, and told clergy to stop petty bickering and treat each other with decorum.
Odur-Kami who is known to be very candid and blunt, made the remarks on Sunday at All Saints' Church Kampala during the ordination service for 12 persons who attained titles of priests and deacons.

The retired Bishop who exited the diocese after 16-years of service, said it is pointless for superior clergy to treat low cadre clergy with disdain.
Odur-Kami cautioned that irritable clergy create an impression that they are the means to an end.

"Do the assignment God has called you to do. There are those who have been recruited by satan to destroy the church from within.
