Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has called for a Day of Prayer for South Sudan for February 16. Bishop Jefferts Schori is joined in this call by the Rev. Gradye Parsons, the Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian General Assembly and the Reformed Church in America.
"The world is increasingly concerned over the rampant
violence in South Sudan," the Presiding Bishop said. "The recent
increase in armed conflict, murder, and mayhem has been fomented in part
by inaccurate reports of tribal partisanship. The new nation needs
peace, in order that all its people might thrive. The Episcopal Church
of Sudan is partnering with others on the ground in that work of
peace-building. The Sudanese communities within our own Episcopal Church
have been important and effective leaders in this work. I ask your
prayers for peace, as well as your awareness and involvement in the
lives of our brothers and sisters across the globe. The Prince of Peace
serves the whole world. As his disciples, may we do no less!"
