The Epistle was read by Cyrus Tsemao, Clerk of the Young Friends Program of Uganda Yearly Meeting, with Pastor Alfred Wasike providing further insights on its themes.

In his address, he encouraged Uganda Yearly Meeting to lead by example, especially as the country takes on a greater role in hosting Quaker events. He challenged the community to continue wto come out .
