Je suis Samuel Poologasingam, du Sri Lanka. Je crois qu\u2019il devrait y avoir un t\u00e9moignage chr\u00e9tien unifi\u00e9 sur chaque campus universitaire du monde. Voici mon histoire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Un pas en avant, deux pas en arri\u00e8re<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Fr\u00e9quenter l\u2019universit\u00e9 n’a pas du tout \u00e9t\u00e9\nl\u2019exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 laquelle je m\u2019attendais. Au niveau spirituel, le campus\nconstituait un d\u00e9sert. L\u2019\u00c9glise locale la plus proche \u00e9tait \u00e0 12 km de\ndistance. La plupart de mes coll\u00e8gues \u00e9tudiants \u00e9taient de confession\nmusulmane. Il n\u2019y avait aucun minist\u00e8re de l\u2019IFES sur le campus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Je r\u00eavais d\u2019y voir se rassembler des \u00e9tudiants\nchr\u00e9tiens de chaque d\u00e9nomination, race, caste. Mais telle n\u2019\u00e9tait pas la\nr\u00e9alit\u00e9. Apr\u00e8s une ann\u00e9e pass\u00e9e \u00e0 crier \u00e0 Dieu dans ma solitude, j\u2019ai\nfinalement d\u00e9couvert un petit groupe d\u2019\u00e9tudiants chr\u00e9tiens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Il nous a fallu attendre une ann\u00e9e avant de\npouvoir \u00eatre reconnus officiellement comme un groupe \u00e9tudiant\nnon-d\u00e9nominationnel \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9. Durant cette p\u00e9riode, nous avons rencontr\u00e9\nbeaucoup d\u2019opposition. Nous \u00e9tions 18 membres en tout, provenant de facult\u00e9s et\nde d\u00e9nominations diff\u00e9rentes, certains \u00e9tant Cingalais, d\u2019autres Tamoules. Et\nc\u2019\u00e9tait justement l\u00e0 le probl\u00e8me. Les \u00e9tudiants de groupes ethniques diff\u00e9rents\nne sont pas cens\u00e9s se fr\u00e9quenter, selon la culture qui pr\u00e9vaut \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

C’est l\u00e0 o\u00f9 j\u2019ai failli abandonner la partie.\nMes amis se sont tourn\u00e9s contre moi \u00e0 cause du fait que nous faisions la\npromotion de la diversit\u00e9. Je me suis senti tr\u00e8s seul et frustr\u00e9 dans cette\nsituation. Mais gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la force que Dieu m\u2019a communiqu\u00e9e et avec le soutien du\nminist\u00e8re national FOCUS, j\u2019ai choisi de continuer, travaillant en\ncollaboration avec des \u00e9tudiants d\u2019ethnies et de d\u00e9nominations diff\u00e9rentes.\nNous avons organis\u00e9 des activit\u00e9s de No\u00ebl pour les enfants dans des villages\nvoisins, nous avons aid\u00e9 des enfants \u00e0 se pr\u00e9parer \u00e0 leurs examens d\u2019entr\u00e9e \u00e0\nl\u2019\u00e9cole, nous avons mis sur pied des programmes de sensibilisation au ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne\ndu suicide et nous avons instaur\u00e9 des programmes de protection de\nl\u2019environnement sur le campus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Lors du congr\u00e8s national de FOCUS en 2018,\nnotre groupe chr\u00e9tien \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 s’est affili\u00e9 au mouvement. Ce fut une\n\u00e9tape d\u00e9cisive et incroyable pour nous.\n\nJ\u2019\u00e9tais rempli de joie de\nvoir Dieu \u00e9tablir un groupe chr\u00e9tien uni dans la diversit\u00e9 au cours de mes\n\u00e9tudes universitaires. Des \u00e9tudiants qui m\u2019avaient accus\u00e9 auparavant nous\nrespectaient dor\u00e9navant \u00e0 cause de notre unit\u00e9. Au d\u00e9part, ils nous avaient\nper\u00e7us comme des fauteurs de trouble, mais avec le temps, ils ont vu que notre\nunit\u00e9 rendait ce groupe d\u2019\u00e9tudiants v\u00e9ritablement unique.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

La gr\u00e2ce qui initie<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Mon pays a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9vast\u00e9 par les conflits\nethniques entre les communaut\u00e9s cingalaise et tamoule. M\u00eame si la guerre a\ncess\u00e9, il y a toujours de profondes tensions au Sri Lanka. Les attaques du\ndimanche de P\u00e2ques cette ann\u00e9e ont entra\u00een\u00e9 des souffrances et des divisions\nsuppl\u00e9mentaires, alors que plus de 250 personnes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9es, incluant deux\n\u00e9tudiants de FOCUS. De nombreux autres \u00e9tudiants ont \u00e9t\u00e9 bless\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Alors que nous luttions pour offrir un soutien\n\u00e0 ces \u00e9tudiants, nous avons d\u00e9couvert que la communaut\u00e9 musulmane avait\n\u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 profond\u00e9ment affect\u00e9e par la trag\u00e9die. Plusieurs doivent\nmaintenant subir la discrimination et diff\u00e9rentes \u00e9preuves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle nationale, le mouvement FOCUS a\niniti\u00e9 un processus de dialogue avec le corps \u00e9tudiant national de confession\nmusulmane. Une d\u00e9claration a \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9e par les deux groupes, exprimant une\ncertaine solidarit\u00e9, reconnaissant les maux commis les uns envers les autres et\ncherchant le pardon pour ces m\u00e9faits. Sur notre campus, nous avons \u00e9galement\nd\u00e9cid\u00e9 d\u2019initier une conversation avec nos amis musulmans. Ensemble, nous avons\naccept\u00e9 de proc\u00e9der \u00e0 une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie du souvenir pour ceux qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9\nvictimes des attaques.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u00c0 notre grand \u00e9tonnement, plus de 250\n\u00e9tudiants d\u2019arri\u00e8re-plans ethniques et religieux diff\u00e9rents ont particip\u00e9 \u00e0 ce\nservice. Les \u00e9tudiants musulmans m\u2019ont remerci\u00e9 de leur avoir manifest\u00e9 un\namour inconditionnel et leur avoir permis de vivre leur deuil avec nous.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Un grand r\u00eave pour des gens bris\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Au milieu de cette grande trag\u00e9die, Dieu a\ntrouv\u00e9 le moyen d\u2019entamer le processus de gu\u00e9rison entre nos diff\u00e9rentes\ncommunaut\u00e9s sur le campus universitaire. Cela m’a montr\u00e9 que Dieu est\nv\u00e9ritablement le grand Dieu qui peut nous utiliser en d\u00e9pit de nos faiblesses\net au milieu des trag\u00e9dies pour accomplir malgr\u00e9 tout ses desseins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Dans un pays si divis\u00e9, je vois l\u2019\u00c9vangile de\nJ\u00e9sus-Christ comme le seul moyen par lequel les communaut\u00e9s pourront trouver la\nv\u00e9ritable gu\u00e9rison et la r\u00e9conciliation les unes avec les autres. Je prie que\nnotre groupe chr\u00e9tien sur le campus soit un puissant t\u00e9moignage rendu \u00e0 cette\nv\u00e9rit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":9495,"template":"","area":[463,672],"theme":[1224],"class_list":["post-9501","conexion","type-conexion","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","area-south-asia","area-sri-lanka","theme-interagir-avec-luniversite"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLa lutte d\u2019un \u00e9tudiant pour l\u2019unit\u00e9 dans la diversit\u00e9 · IFES Conexi\u00f3n Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Je suis Samuel Poologasingam, du Sri Lanka.
