An Islamic teacher and priest (Imam) in Sudan told us that he converted to
Christianity at the end of 1995. He told us nobody in the community has yet
challenged his decision "because they all know me and are well aware that I
understand Islam very well; they realise that I must have good reasons for
converting." Following his example, other Moslems have also converted, and
he has been leading another group of Moslems who want to learn more about
Christianity. "The principle is amazing," he said. "Before my conversion,
people recognised me as an Islamic Imam, now, after my conversion, I still
have the same position, except I am a Christian Imam."
