Pentecost Church (Unguwan Rukuba area) reported that the first burning of cars began by 6.30a.m. It was a day of burning and killing. Thick smoke engulfed the city and could be seen for miles around. Most reports showed
that the Muslim youths were well armed with guns, knives, matchets, bows and arrows etc. On the whole the Christians, having been taken totally by surprise, were defending themselves and their properties with only stones, sticks and anything else they could lay their hands on (even garden rakes); very few guns were available.
I’m short of wisdom or eloquent reflection about all this. The title of this post is a prayer, the post a list of prayer requests. My own prayer is for the desperate hope described in O Holy Night”:
A thrill of hope; the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
