I made this post in order to share an interesting documentary with you called bride-price in Uganda. This is a really complicated issue for Ugandan Christians to navigate. It's very difficult, even for Christians, to go against family, clan, and community pressure to try to change anything about this system. I have friends who will not take dowry for their daughters when their daughters marry, but even this choice is difficult as the clan may seriously pressure them to take the money. Pray for Ugandan pastors and leaders as they try to figure out what changes to make and how to do it, and pray for courage and wisdom!

Very interesting and very sad; there is definitely a long way to go to solve the differences. May God prevail!

Indeed, it's a long road ahead addressing such complicated cultural issues
