John Tucker Mugabi Sentamu

Walking the Rift

History & Biography

“Though I was born a full 35 years after his death, my parents named me Tucker, after East Africa's third Anglican bishop, by then already a legend. When my grandfather Yeremiya Jagenda died in Boga, Congo, while on a mission there with Apolo Kivebulaya, Bishop Tucker helped my father to train as a primary school teacher. . . . Joan Mattia's discerning study explores the nuances and contradictions with deep respect for one who was both a man of his time and well ahead of it. I commend this book.”
