search  Balokole is an African fundamentalist Christian reform
movement that started in the 1930s. The Balokole arose within
the East African Revival Movement which sought to renew the
Protestant churches in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and
Burundi. Despite its theological roots in the Western revival
movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the
Balokole evolved as an indigenous African movement. The term
Balokole can be translated as "the saved ones" or "the chosen".
The Balokole movement criticized established hierarchies within
the Church of Uganda and questioned prevailing amorality or
double standards. The Balokole formed egalitarian brotherhoods,
followed puritanical rules, publicly confessed their sins and
professed their experience of conversion, which they understood
as a radical break with their former sinful selves and a
receiving of new life from God.[1] They stressed the importance
of the Lordship of Christ over all areas
