As far as I know, the Anglican Church, even in Uganda, hasn't executed anyone in the last few hundred years. As I point out, the church itself is not in favor of the death penalty, but would support life in prison -- a Ugandan prison at that. But your point is well taken: I'm sure there are many real crimes for which Uganda doesn't have penalties at this level. KC, this is a proposed governmental penalty, not church penalty.

These are among the folks that the schismatics in this country want to hook up with, and in 2007, the C of U ordained an American bishop to look after their parishes here. Of course, the C of U, along with other church groups, want the penalty changed to life in prison, to allow the person to repent. I can only imagine what life would be like in a Ugandan prison, but I doubt a lot of repentance would go on.
