In a CNA article it states she is:It is hard to tell exactly the nature of her Christian faith and her husband’s. Her mother was Ethiopian Orthodox and it seems that Meriam remained the same. Her husband’s denomination is not mentioned, but an image of their marriage certificate indicates that it was issued by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Khartoum. So is he Catholic?
Mr Elshareef told The Telegraph that Ms Ibrahim would remain in Rome for several days to recuperate with her family - her husband Daniel Wani, 20-month-old son Martin, and daughter Maya, born in a Khartoum prison.
The family were expected to visit the Colosseum on Friday, according to Corriere Della Sera, before flying in the next few days to the United States - where Mr Wani has his home, in New Hampshire.
“The US government is providing consular assistance to the family but we have no other information at this time,” a spokesman for the American embassy told The Telegraph.
I just hope that doesn’t try to convert them away from the Catholic faithI have been reading on the Christian Post today that some pastor in NY is taking credit for her release and has invited this Catholic family to stay with him and be supported by him.
Let’s hope not, it sounds like an Evangelical Pastor. However, that said, I believe many many Protestants prayed and took action for Meriam to see her to freedom.I just hope that doesn’t try to convert them away from the Catholic faith
William Devlin, pastor of Manhattan Bible Church, traveled to Khartoum in Sudan where he met with Ibrahim and her husband, Daniel Wani as well as the country’s Foreign Minister.
“I, along with another brother in the Lord, were able to go to the Safe House where this persecuted family is currently living in Khartoum and minister to them for over an hour,” the pastor told the Associated Press.
“The Devlin family has offered to bring this family back to the USA from Khartoum and have them live with us. I have been interviewed by the U.S. State Department in Washington D.C. and I have also met for three hours with the U.S. Ambassador to Sudan here in Khartoum - and his senior staff,” he continued.
