| Итог: | The past is deep and, if taken with appropriate and critical evaluation, it is filled with lessons for the present and the future. In Rwanda, a country with countless "dry bones" due to the war, the genocide, and their aftermath, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that re-envisioning Christian responsibilities is of decisive importance. Since a family that does not remember vanishes (umuryango utibuka urazima), I hereby argue that coming to terms with the past with critical ecclesial imagination cannot be overemphasized. This article offers a constructive approach to building a vital Rwandan church from the perspective of a theology of symbols. It also recommends three models of ecclesial renewal for building the church. The article thus seeks to use the suffering endured by Rwandans to offer lessons to our wounded world. |
