Born into a humble family in Kigali, Rwanda, Emmanuel's life was forever marked by the horrors of the 1994 genocide. Witnessing the slaughter of his family and friends, he escaped to neighboring Burundi, carrying with him deep scars and an unquenchable thirst for justice and reconciliation.
In the midst of this tragedy, Emmanuel found solace in his faith. Ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church, he dedicated his life to healing the wounds inflicted by the genocide, working tirelessly to promote peace and understanding between the Hutu and Tutsi communities.
Emmanuel's unwavering commitment to reconciliation and forgiveness caught the attention of the Church of England. In 2013, he was invited to serve as the Bishop of Southwark, a diocese in South London. This historic appointment marked a profound moment for both the Rwandan and Anglican communities.
As Bishop of Southwark, Emmanuel brought his unique perspective and firsthand experience of reconciliation to the heart of the British church. He established partnerships with Rwandan churches and organizations, fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas and resources.
Beyond his pastoral duties, Bishop Mbonyintege has emerged as a vocal advocate for peace and justice on the world stage. He has spoken out against atrocities in South Sudan, Syria, and Myanmar, reminding us of the imperative to challenge hatred and violence wherever they may arise.
In 2020, Bishop Mbonyintege was honored with the prestigious Archbishop of Canterbury's Award for Reconciliation. This recognition acknowledges his tireless efforts to bridge divides and promote healing both within the Church and beyond.
