[Da Dona]

President Yoweri Museveni has recalled his time as President of Scripture Union, saying he once disagreed with the teaching in Matthew 5:39 about turning the other cheek when attacked.

Speaking during the East African Revival Ankole Convention at St. John’s Cathedral in Ruharo, Mbarara, Museveni reflected on the biblical teaching and his interpretation of how it should be applied.
​

“I disagreed with Matthew 5: If somebody hits you on the left, turn the right,” Museveni said.​

He made the remarks while reflecting on the role of the Christian faith and the East African Revival in shaping moral values and social conduct in Ankole.​
