From Sudan-The Archbishop of the Church of Sudan and South Sudan, His Grace Daniel Deng Bul Yaak laid the foundation stone on Sunday.
According to Eng. Barnaba Dumo, a member of the committee for the construction of the new cathedral, the initial plan for the old cathedral was to have a much larger one but when the design was submitted to the provincial authority in Juba, the then Governor of Equatoria Ali Bardo ordered its reduction in the size.
It is in this regard that he said the church thought of a long term solution to the problem of inadequate room for worshiping.
Eng. Dumo said the committee took decisions that a new cathedral be constructed and that the present building should be preserved as souvenirs and an auxiliary facility.
Eng. Dumo announced that the procurement process will be competitive and the bidding will be open to both local and international bidders. A separate planning, designing and supervision consultancy firm will be hired to undertake the construction work.

No doubt Bishop Bul will be making another fundraising tour of the U.S. soon...hopefully, the ACNA will donate a great portion of this all new expense.
