    The Impact of False Teachings in the Diocese of Kagera: A Case of Kabanga Deanery
    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-07-12) Emmanuel Jonathan Mbonimpa
    This study looks at the effects of false teachings in the setting of the Diocese of Kagera, with a special attention on the Kabanga Deanery. It reveals the psychological, spiritual, and societal effects of false teachings on believers and their communities, by carefully analyzing the false teaching techniques (Matt. 7:15). It looks at the ways that false teachings might arise and lead parishioners to confusion, divisions, and spiritual vulnerability. The study also looks into how false teachings affect the integrity and solidarity of the Kabanga Deanery and how they affect programs for community development, pastoral care, and leadership. It intends to enrich pastoral initiatives that promote theological clarity, spiritual discernment, and ethical stewardship within the Diocese of Kagera by offering insights into the effects of false teachings in that particular area. Chapter one serves as an introduction where, among others, includes the reason why this is an important study in our diocese. Chapter two gives a clear picture of how things were before coming of Christianity in the present Diocese of Kagera. It also looks at the four leadership periods of four Bishops so far. Chapter three investigates the current state of false teachings in the Diocese of Kagera. It also looks at the effects of false teachings, including conflicts and divisions in the church, deception and confusion, manipulation and exploitation, among others. Chapter four examines what originally causes false teachings to the extent that many Christians, specifically of this time find themselves prone to them. Fifth chapter looks at the summary of all chapters, that is, from chapter one to five. It also looks at what should the church do to mitigate false teachings.
