I will give the word to Emmanuel Kolini himself on the complicity of the Episcopal Church of Rwanda in the Rwanda Genocide. He speaks about his own predecessor, so I think he knows about what he is talking: "Priests, fathers and bishops are today on list of wanted people who would be arrested if the could be found. A number of Christian leaders during the 1980s and 1990s had previously been military chaplains, giving them close connection to the army. When the 1994 genocide started, many of them cooperated with the army. Even Anglican Archbishop Augustine (sic) Nshamihigo was implicated and is still on the run. The church [I think he refers to the Episcopal Church of Rwanda] accused him and two other bishops of being errand boys for the government. They made a special tour in 1994 to speak to the media in Nairobi, Canada, England, and the United States, denying during the genocide that there were any killings. The Rwandan Church was corrupt./ Another incident that illustrates this corruption happened to the Dean of the Anglican Cathedral, Canon Karuhije, who was in the church tower and saw murderers coming for him. He managed to get through to a colleague in Canada, who then called Canterbury; Canterbury then called the Dean's bishop, but the bishop ignored the phone call. Two bishops [Anglicans] where involved in this betrayal. Some soldiers seized Canon Karuhije and killed him." (pp. 127-128)Mistico (talk) 22:37, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
