Prayers for Peace in South Sudan

Here's an email from Bishop Peni of our companion diocese of Nzara in South Sudan.  As you know from the news coverage, there has been a significant amount of fighting in this fledgling nation and some fear it is on the brink of civil war.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I am so happy this evening to pass my warm greetings to you all... It has been uneasy times for us. Some of you may remember my humble request for prayers for this new nation. It has been very hard and painful. We trust God that peace will once again prevail. Many lives indeed in Juba and other places are lost to the same kind of trouble we fought against. 

Despite all our worries for those who have been killed and also being afraid that this might happen in our own state, we as the religious leaders here are doing our best to alert our soldiers not to fight here. Yesterday we hold many prayers in the freedom squares in West Equatorial State to pray for peace. This morning three bishops, including myself had a press confrence to address our nation to restrain from violence and seek a peaceful means of solving the problem. Please do earnestly pray for us to stay safe and respected. We do all we can not to take sides but to remain neutral.

I Wish you all Merry Christmas.

Bishop Samuel Peni
