THIS MONTH'S PROFILE: An inspirational evening with Father Vazken Movsesian who will address his experiences with genocide survivors in the African nation of Rwanda. ABOUT: Father Vazken Movsesian, a priest of the Armenian Orthodox Church, visited Rwanda last year to meet with survivors of the African country's 1994 Genocide. For him, visiting Rwanda was akin to an opportunity to visit Armenia circa 1925: the land from where his ancestors survived the Armenian Genocide. What would it be like to meet with Genocide survivors a decade after such horrendous and mass killings? With this presentation, Fr. Vazken shares experiences from a unique perspective: what its like to have a foot in the first and last Genocides of the 20th Century. He ties accounts of atrocities and survival from Armenia to Rwanda and most poignantly points to the current situation in the Darfur region of the Sudan. Fr. Vazken is the Executive Director of the In His Shoes Ministries, a group which was created in response to the acts of Genocide perpetrated against the Armenian nation in 1915. Based on Christian principles of repaying evil with good, "In His Shoes" walks with the oppressed and suffering throughout the world. More information is available at InHisShoes.org.
