A Story From A Real Seminary
I am currently reading Testimony of Hope by Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan. I have never heard the story he tells on page 113. At a seminary in Burundi, Hutu guerrillas told 40 seminarians to separate into 2 groups, Hutu and Tutsi. The Hutus, knowing the guerrillas’ intention was to kill the Tutsi, refused to do so, even though it would have saved their lives. All 40 seminarians were murdered on April 30th, 1996.
Reading that story, my first reaction was that this was a great story of seminarians who were true Christians who laid down their life for their brothers. My second reaction was to think of the seminarians in the USA, and hope that they have this kind of courage and this true devotion to Jesus.
