Lives from the East African Revival
About this book
In 1929 a Ugandan health officer asked an exhausted English doctor what was missing — in himself, and in the church. What followed ran for most of a century through six countries and was called the Balokole, the saved ones. Twelve lives and two themes from that movement: the layman who set it off, the doctor who had nothing left, the man who dressed wounds, the deacon who died at twenty-six with one word, the archbishop who waited twenty-seven years, the deacon who sang on his way to be shot, the evangelist who wrote his enemy's name on a book about love, the archbishop who went to the meeting anyway — and the women whose names the records did not keep. Each chapter tells the life, draws out what it teaches, and ends in prayer.
Simeon Nsibambi (1897–1978) was a public health officer in Kampala — a sanitation man in the capital of a kingdom that had become Christian at extraordinary speed a generation before he was born. He was married to Eva Bakaluba, they would have twelve children, and by his early thirties he had everything Buganda's new elite thought worth having.
