Prayers for the Sudan.
From AllAfrica "The Sudan is Africa's largest country of 2.5 million square miles, with one of the continent's greatest rivers and a population of 35 million people.
The people of Darfur are Black Africans like those of the south of neighbouring Chad across the border from them. The Darfur people are Muslims, like the Janjaweed, but differ ethnically.
The Sudanese population is 60% Muslim, 15% Christian, and 25% belonging to older and traditional religions. There are 19 major ethnic groups and 597 ethnic sub-groupings."
The Presiding Bishop calls attention to the atrocities. Here are some links to the Sudanese Church.
The Sudanese "lost boys" have been a part of several Episcopal congregations.
