Signs of tolerance amid religious strife in Sudan

Simply summarized, “Ultimately, achieving religious coexistence may require some creativity.”

bq.. Muslim-Christian tensions are softening in Sudan – which could set the tone for Africa.

KHARTOUM, SUDAN In a large, dusty courtyard in Sudan’s capital, exuberant shouts of “Yesu Chrisoo” ring out amid the rhythmic thumping of tribal drums. Two hundred Episcopalians have gathered under a giant shade tree to praise, pray – and build.

After three decades of meeting in rented churches and borrowed courtyards, the group is yearning to construct a cathedral. It’ll be a tribute to their faith, a place to educate their children – a church of their own.[...]

Now the test is whether Sudan can morph from an ethno-religious killing ground into a modern melting pot with robust religious tolerance. The outcome will deeply affect the future of Africa’s vastest country. And it could set a tone of religious civility for the nearby Middle East, and for Africa, where Muslim-Christian tensions are rising.

    the unknown if i should send the message only to the

    men of God around my village and he said no, he said

    i should send it all over the world and the first

    person that would pray for me God Will send a nice

    message to me through him or her.This was said by the
