Joint Muslim-Catholic radio venture in African nation
August 19, 2009
In the small west African nation of Guinea-Bissau, a Muslim radio station has agreed to let a priest have a regular radio show, and the Catholic station Radio Sol Mansi will permit an imam to have a similar show. “I'm not sure if this is the first experience of this type but it is surely one of the first,” said missionary Father Davide Sciocco, PIME. “I will refer to the Gospel every time in telling a story.”
Nearly half of the nation’s 1.5 million people hold to indigenous beliefs; 40% are Muslim, while 9% are Catholic.
