Ecumenical News International (ENI) reports on efforts by the Anglican Church of Rwanda to provide clean water to Muslim communities:
An interfaith project to provide clean piped water in eastern Rwanda is a practical way to make amends to Muslims in the east African country who have been marginalised in the past by Christians, says Anglican Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini.
“We Christians see it is one way of saying, ‘We are sorry’,” said Kolini, referring to the water project in the Gatore sector of Rwanda’s eastern district of Kirehe. The scheme was inaugurated on 19 March by the Rev. Ishmael Noko, general secretary of the Lutheran World Federation and president of Inter-Faith Action for Peace in Africa.
“This project signifies more than bringing water to those who lacked it before,” said Sheikh Yussuf Bizuru, the grand imam of Rwanda’s Eastern Province. “It offers to the rest of Africa and the world a model of harmonious interfaith cooperation for development.”
