[Agenzia Fides] Kampala -- "In the last ten years our country has developed positively in many ways", say the Bishops of Uganda in their Message for the 60th anniversary of Independence. Referring to their letter, written on the occasion of the 50th anniversary in 2012, the bishops first note that the country has made progress both economically and socially, while remaining "an oasis of faith in a world that continues to become more and more secular, in which the need for God is less or no longer present".
