Source-derived summary

Enoch Lee Drati (1939–2011) was an Anglican bishop for Madi-West Nile Uganda in 1995 and served for a decade.

Early life and education

Drati was educated at Uganda Christian University and ordained in 1973.

Death

Drati died on 9th December 2011 while in California where he had gone for treatment of cancer. There was a clash between his family and the church on where to be laid to rest as the family members wanted him to be buried at the new burial site as indicated in his will as opposed to the old site of earlier fallen bishops as suggested by the church. He was laid to rest on 30th December at Emmanuel Cathedral.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Lee Drati” is ugandan bishop. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Drati, Ugandan and bishop, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1939, 2011, 1995, 1973—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1940-01-01. For this dossier, Drati, Ugandan and bishop is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “ugandan bishop” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q89430797. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1939, 2011, 1995 and 1973.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
