BBC News - Africa Eye, Faith Under Fire

An explosion of rogue pastors has led to a fight for the soul of Christianity.

An explosion of rogue pastors exploiting the trust and belief of their followers for profit and power has led to a fight for the soul of Christianity across Africa.

For hundreds of millions of Africans, Christianity is the cornerstone of their existence. But an explosion of rogue pastors exploiting the trust and belief of their followers for profit and power has led to a fight for the soul of Christianity across Africa.

Africa Eye reporter Peter MacJob travels to Uganda to meet the new religious movements rejecting Christian conventions, the traditional pastors working hard to maintain their flocks, the families who have suffered tragic losses at the hands of rogue pastors, and those who have abandoned religion altogether. With charlatans and con men preying on the faith of millions, what is the future for believers in Uganda and across Africa?
