Tutsi bishop brings God's word to Hutus

[Washington Times] 5 Feb 2009--John Kabango Rucyahana stood facing a crowd of killers in a prison yard at Gitarama, Rwanda. Years earlier, during the Rwandan genocide of 1994, Gitarama's Hutu inmates would have hacked or clubbed to death this stout, bespectacled Tutsi preacher and former refugee. Today, they were all ears, for Bishop Rucyahana had come with a simple, powerful, badly needed message: Confess your crimes to God and to your victims, and you will be forgiven.
