From The Examiner-
With nearly 99% of the vote going for independence for the southern part of Sudan, Southern Sudan will now wait for the referendum in July to solve the details. But the Episcopal Church, which has been trying to prepare for the vote, is working to keep the peace while the planning continues. According to ENS, the Episcopal Church of Sudan, with four million members mostly in the south, “is considered one of the largest non-government organizations in Southern Sudan and is strategically placed to serve its people as the country looks towards the future.”
On Feb 8th, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said that the Church:
. . . is deeply grateful for the peaceful outcome of the referendum in Sudan. We rejoice with our brothers and sisters in both Southern and Northern Sudan as they work for peaceful co-existence. Our partnerships with the Episcopal Church of Sudan, which will remain united as one church body, will continue . . .
