Benedict Binta-Akiiki Ssettuuma, whose sad news of his passing unto glory of our better home in heaven we received on Saturday, June 19, 2021, was a Ugandan Catholic Priest from Masaka Diocese, ordained in 1996. From 2000 to 2005, he was a student in our Faculty of Missiology at the Pontifical Urbaniana University, Rome, where I had the privilege of having him as a student, and later a supervisor of both his Licentiate and Doctorate degrees in Missiology. Just last year, 2020, when the editors of one of my new books, titled, Towards African Missiology: Issues of New Language for African Christianity (Xlibris Publishers, Bloomington, Indiana 2020), asked me who I would like to write the preface to the book, I did not waste even a second in telling them to approach Benedict Ssettuuma for it. As would be expected, Ssettuuma wrote a very moving preface. I am so grateful. He was always ready to oblige in anything related to African scholarship and theological development on the continent. He was a Pan-African scholar of inculturation and contextual theology. I was devastated to hear the sad news of his untimely death. I have yet to come to terms with the reality that he is no more with us in this transitory world. May God receive his good and gentle soul in Heaven. Amen!
