Reconsidering Reconciliation

On the cover: On August 12, 2008, at The Sonrise School in Musanze, Rwanda, Episcopal Bishop John K. Rucyahana talks to one of the school's 900 students. The school opened in 2001, and three-quarters of its students are orphans as a result of the 1994 genocide. Fifteen years later, Tutsis and Hutus are working together to reconcile their differences: schools and orphanages have been established for the victims, "reconciliation villages" are bringing former enemies together, and peace is becoming a plausible goal in Rwanda.
