How do you evangelise students who are not Christian and, as it seems, will never become Christian?
A. Jesus said, “Go and announce the Gospel to every creature” (also to non-believers, I suppose He meant). Comboni College is open to everybody: to northern, southern, eastern and western Sudanese, to foreigners of nearby countries, to Christians and Muslims, to Indus and even to non-believers, to young men and young ladies, and to rich and poor students. To everybody we “announce the Gospel” instilling with our example and whenever possible also with our word the evangelical values of freedom of religion, equal dignity of man and woman, social justice, respect and welcoming of others, service to the community and help of the poor. Q. Aren’t these things that you call evangelical values found also in the other colleges and universities, governmental and private, which are so numerous at least in Khartoum, if not in other parts of Sudan. Is there a real need of a college of the Catholic Church, and to boot, as we hear it being planned, is there need of a Catholic university of Sudan? A.
