Earlier this month, His Grace Bishop Silvester of Gulu and Eastern Uganda baptized nearly two dozen young men into the holy Orthodox Church.

The diocese reported on December 5 that His Grace baptized 20 youths from the Desmos Scouts in the city of Jinja, which sits along the Victoria Nile River, 50 miles east of Kampala.

​

Desmos is an international Orthodox Scouts movement founded in 1994.

Bp. Silvester also baptized another 20 people in November, and dozens were baptized in Uganda during Great Lent.
