As I mourn the death of a remarkable pope, I must recommend my friend Matt Ashley's recent book exploring the Ignatian spirituality that shaped Francis as a Jesuit. It's the best study of his intellectual journey that I've read. https://t.co/LicNUk8Sqs

Thank you @jamesjaycarney for this afternoon's discussion on Benedicto Kiwanuka's political and religious sensibilities and how they intersected with Uganda's tumultuous nationalisms towards and after independence. We look forward to hosting you again. 🙏🏿#KyambogoHistorySeminars
