From Sudan-The Archbishop of the Episcopal Church of Sudan and South Sudan, Daniel Deng Bul has sent the Bishop of Yambio Diocese, Peter Munde, for a Sabbatical in Uganda, apparently to diffuse a diocesan conflict in which some pastors are reported to have abandoned the Church, believers and religious leaders told Sudan Tribune on Sunday.
Archbishop Bul was responding to calls asking him to contain an internal dispute between Bishop Munde and pastors to avoid further defections from the diocese following the resignation of nine high profile pastors in February 2012.
The Church has not released any statement surrounding the circumstances which triggered the mass resignation and subsequent dismissals. Religious leaders have avoided commenting on the dispute in the media although privately they acknowledged the existence of administrative challenges which require resolution.
Anonymous religious leaders in interviews with Sudan Tribune on Sunday from Yambio, the capital of Western Equatoria State, charged Bishop Munde of nepotism, misappropriation of the diocesan funds and promotion and assignment of illiterate pastors.
