From Sudan-
Leaders from the Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS) began a six-day meeting in the Jonglei capital, Bor, on Wednesday to decide on whether the institution will separate as a consequence of South Sudan's independence from Sudan in 2011.
Reverend Peter Amidi, the diocesan bishop of Lianya in South Sudan's Central Equatoria state, says the meeting will cover a number of issues currently facing the church, including whether the 31 dioceses in South Sudan and Sudan are too many to be managed by one archbishop.
He described the Church's possible split as "not separation as such but an arrangement within the Anglican communion where you devolve power from the mother provincial authority to the area of clusters of dioceses".
