Christians and Muslims in CAR

Catherine Mahony is the Regional Emergency Coordinator for the U.K.’s Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD). On April 29, she led an inter-religious team of representatives from Christian and Muslim charity groups to Bangui’s Grand Mosque. Thousands of Muslims have taken shelter since the disorder in the Central African Republic began.
