Changing the narrative
Christa Case Bryant
Editor
From Nigeria today, we hear from Dalyop Timothy Toma, whose Christian family planned revenge after a mob they suspect was Muslim attacked their home, killing his grandfather. Then someone asked him to tell his story. The opportunity was transformative. Now, Mr. Toma is sharing a new story – of grace and forgiveness. By changing the narrative, communities riven by political and sectarian divisions are dissolving enmity through listening.
