Munzihirwa was a Congolese Jesuit priest and archbishop who was assassinated for his outspoken advocacy for refugees during the volatile period between the Rwandan genocide and the First Congo War. Gathering his major articles, homilies, letters, and other reflections, this collection introduces readers to Munzihirwa’s moral, political, and theological outlook, as well as the Jesuit, Catholic spirituality that fueled his activism. Engaging such topics as democracy, development, enculturation, the ethics of war and peace, and the role of the church in the modern world, this collection deepens our understanding of one of twentieth-century Africa’s most fascinating religious leaders and champions of justice and peace.
