Description

We learn who we are as we walk together in the way of Jesus. So I wish to invite you on a pilgrimage. Rwanda is regularly held up as a model of evangelization in Africa. Yet in 1994, beginning at the Thursday of Easter week, Christians killed other Christians, regularly in the same churches where they had worshiped together. The most Christianized country in Africa became the web page of its worst genocide. With a mother who was once a Hutu and a father who was once a Tutsi, creator Emmanuel Katongole is uniquely qualified to point out that the tragedy in Rwanda may be a mirror reflecting the deep brokenness of the church in the West. Rwanda brings us to a cry of lament on our knees where together we learn that we will have to interrupt these patterns of brokenness But Rwanda also brings us to a place of hope. Indeed, the only hope for our world after Rwanda’s genocide is a new roughly Christian identity for the global body of Christ―a people on pilgrimage together, a mixed group, bearing witness to a new identity made conceivable by the Gospel.
