The role of the Ganda ancestors in the life of the living parallels the inspirational role of the ”cloud of witnesses in Heb 12:1. Jesus Christ is not contradicted by the principle of ancestorship in Christian theology. Ganda ancestors are acknowledged in the eucharistic celebration through incarnational theology for a full appreciation of the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ - the ”chief ancestor”.
