dc.description.abstractThe genocide of 1994 in Rwanda had profound and devastating effects on various sectors of society, including religious institutions. This paper explores the experiences of priests during the genocide against the Tutsi, examining their roles, challenges, and coping mechanisms. Through a literature review of scholarly articles, books, and reports, this paper seeks to shed light on the unique perspective of priests amidst the genocide, their moral dilemmas, and the psychological impact of witnessing and experiencing mass violence. From the analysis, physical experience had a positive correlation with psycho-spiritual wellbeing of the priests in the selected catholic dioceses in Rwanda (r=.170, p=0.031). Emotional experience was found to have a negative but significant correlation with emotional wellbeing (r=-.248, p=.001). Economic experience had a positive and insignificant correlation with psycho-spiritual wellbeing of the priests in the selected catholic dioceses in Rwanda (r=.045, p=.569). By understanding the experiences of priests, we can gain insights into the complexities of religious experiences in times of conflict and genocide, as well as the broader social and psychological implications.
