An exceptional welcome

[Lexington Herald-Leader] March 11, 2006--The Rev. Anna Gulick has a gift for languages. She can read the New Testament in Greek. Spread the gospel in Japanese. Share her faith in French and German.

Unfortunately, none of those languages is terribly useful in the Church of Uganda, which the 87-year-old deacon joined after cutting ties to the more liberal Episcopal Church USA.

So Gulick is learning a new language -- Runyoro -- which, along with English, is widely spoken in the Ugandan diocese of Bunyoro-Kitara.
