Quotes by Emmanuel M. Katongole  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“How long, O God, will we go on with a mock Christianity that takes the tribalism of our world for granted?

How long, O God, will we be satisfied with the way things are?

How long, O God, will we try to "make some difference in the world" while leaving the basic patterns of the world unaffected?

How long, O God will we take consolation in numbers, buildings, and structures, when millions of your children are dying?

How long, O Sovereign Lord, will we remain blind to the lessons of history?”
Emmanuel Katongole, Mirror to the Church: Resurrecting Faith After Genocide in Rwanda

“The church's primary purpose is not to make America more Christian, but to make American Christians less American and Rwandan Christians less Rwandan. We are no longer Rwandans or Americans, neither Hutu nor Tutsi. If we are in Christ, we have become part of a new creation.”
Emmanuel Katongole, Mirror to the Church: Resurrecting Faith After Genocide in Rwanda

“We are called to be strange in the same way that the early Christian communities were strange to the world around them. The community in Antioch brought together Jews and Samaritans, Greeks and Romans, slaves and free, men and women in a way that was so confusing that people didn't know what to call them. So they called them "Christians." The only way they knew to describe their peculiar actions was to say that they were followers of an odd preacher from Galilee.

The world is longing for such new and odd communities in our time. . . . I pray the time is now and that the resurrection might begin in us.”
Emmanuel Katongole, Mirror to the Church: Resurrecting Faith After Genocide in Rwanda
