A SEASON OF PRAYER FOR SUDAN
In solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Sudan, The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, The Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori, has called for a Season of Prayer. The Archbishop of the Episcopal Church in Sudan, The Most Reverend Daniel Deng Bul, has issued a Call to Prayer.
Sudan, and the region of Darfur within it, have suffered years of civil war and genocide. An important referendum on the future of Sudan and on self-determination for the people there is scheduled for January 2011. But there is no guarantee that this referendum will occur peacefully. In fact, there is every indication that violence and perhaps civil war will break out again following the referendum, no matter what the outcome.
For the Diocese of Chicago, traveling panels of photos taken in Renk Diocese January 2010 by professional photographer, Charlie Simokaitis, are available for your church to use in advocacy work and the raising of awareness of the upcoming referendum on January 9, 1011. To reserve these panels for your church and find out how to best transport them, please make your request on the Contact COGM page of this site.
