In the first part of a two-part podcast, Egyptian-born Comboni Missionary, Fr Paul Annis, speaks to us in the latest edition of We Are Mission about his early years growing up in Kuwait, Lebanon and then England, the joint influence of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches in his life, his decision to become a Comboni Father, his life being in danger while on mission in Sudan, being sent to Egypt in the midst of revolution and his passion for interreligious dialogue as a means to resolve conflict.
