Episcopal Church of South Sudan promotes Lent peace initiative

From Ekklesia-

The Episcopal Church of South Sudan and Sudan’s diocese of Wau has developed a course titled “Reconcile – Moving Forward in Peace”, inviting people to be peace-builders during the season of Lent, which begins this week.

This initiative from the church comes amid the conflict in South Sudan which has gravely affected all communities since the country’s independence from Sudan in 2011.

Written by the staff of the Wau diocese of the Episcopal Church of the South Sudan and Sudan, the course engages the community in discussion and prayer. The content gives an African outlook on Christianity and focuses on issues relating to peace. The course tries to stimulate participation, discovery and tackles faith-related issues. Themes include tribalism, causes of friction, domestic violence and the understanding of peace.
