ABSTRACT
This chapter concerns not only with religious perceptions of sexuality but also with the tightening relationship between politics, the nation and public religion in Uganda. In particular regarding the issue of sexuality Pentecostal-charismatic leaders seemed to have focused their energies in articulating the immorality of homosexuality, which they often present as an external Western import that clashes with African and Christian values. According to Cooper and Patterson US evangelical and African Pentecostal-charismatic churches have been among the primary beneficiaries of PEPFAR funds. Pastor Gary Skinner and his wife Marilyn started Watoto in 1983. Watoto is closely aligned to the Canadian Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG). However, this research is more concerned with understanding less orthodox from the discipline of political science aspects of political intervention and influence that consist of addressing and framing citizens public and political behaviour and also, as highlighted above, shaping future leadership.
