From Sudan-The Bishop of Bradford and his wife narrowly missed getting caught up in political turmoil during a recent visit to Sudan, he has revealed.
The Right Reverend Nick Baines and his wife Linda travelled to the African country to meet Anglicans to strengthen a 30-year relationship between the Diocese of Bradford and the Episcopal Church of Sudan.
But an hour after they left the capital Khartoum to start their journey home, the Christian-run guesthouse they had been staying in was raided, guests taken in for questioning and the place taken over by the security services.
The Bishop said: “We left at one in the morning. We only found out afterwards the place had been raided and confiscated by the security service and the people staying there had been taken in for questioning.”
