'A TRUER SENSE OF LOVE' IN RWANDA

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

Insecurity in the eastern part of Rwanda, where the Interahamwe militia and others continue to be responsible for killings, sexual violence, and harassment, cries out for our prayers.

According to the Rwandan New Times, the government is reinforcing its troops there. Meanwhile, some human rights activists say that justice regarding the original Rwandan genocide is not being pursued aggressively enough. For people "on the ground," these are difficult issues to resolve.

This newspaper as well as others has told the story of people who survived the Rwandan genocide. One series included remarkable accounts of those who found the grace to forgive those who killed their family members (October 24, 2006). These accounts show that there is a spirit that transcends individual feelings of anger, fear, dread, and the desire for revenge. It is the spirit that Jesus embodied during his ministry on earth, and that he promised would remain with us forever.
