"We will never come back to this church. It is a graveyard. The angels have left us."
Those heart-rending words come from a young Rwandese woman who managed to survive one of the massacres that decimated her country in 1994 because bodies of other victims were piled on top of her as she aly unconscious in the Catholic church in Ntarama. The voice of this 16-year-old is among the many we hear in this vivid and disturbing account of one of the most horrifying episodes of our violenta age. Based on hundreds of interviews in Rwanda and elesewhere with government, military and United Nations officials, pastors and church leaders, survivors, refugees and displaced people, this book focuses on the part played in these events by churches in Rwanda, throughout Africa and around the world - sometimes a story of heroism and sel-sacrifice, but too often a story of cowardice, ethnocentrism and corruption. The author analyzes the roots of the tragesy, looks at the future of a shattered church in a shttered country and poses hard questions about what the church and teh ecumentical family should do in a world where poverty, oppression and hatred are creating many potential Rwandas. |
