Today Bishop Isingoma, his wife Mugisa, and the St John's staff team enjoyed a guided tour of Chelmsford Cathedral ably led by the Cathedral's Education Officer, Bobby Harrington, before being introduced to the Diocesan Office by Canon Roger Matthews, Director of Mission and Ministry.

In the evening Mugisa spoke to a well attended meeting of the Mothers' Union at St John's about her role as Diocesan MU President and the varied and effective work of the Mothers' Union in Boga.

In her talk she highlighted their work with whole families and with couples, work to empower women and provide employment, work to bring reconciliation following the war years, and work with those coping with traumatic experience such as HIV/Aids or the experience of having been raped during the war. Donations made at this meeting will enable the Boga Mothers' Union to purchase 3-4 sewing machines to provide training/work opportunities to young women.
