The Auxiliary Bishop of Khartoum, in Sudan, Rt. Rev. Daniel Adwok, has commended the commitment of the Church in South Sudan to promoting peace through several initiatives, such as publicly standing up against all atrocities happening in the country; participation in the Addis Ababa peace negotiations and prayers for peace.
Bishop Adwok, who is visiting South Sudan, said that in this crucial moment the role of the Church is to listen and to advise all actors engaged in the peace negotiations.
He explained that the Church is a communion of believers and that all members shall contribute to promote peace by praying for forgiveness. He reminded all the people that while the role of the Bishops is to lead the journey of the Christian communities, it is the responsibility of each member to make the first step to change.
For people to live in forgiveness they should to be open to the encounter with Jesus so that his message can go deeply into their hearts.
Bishop Adwok said that faith is a process and all Christians need to grow as believers. He explained that for Christians to grow they need to keep seeking for the Lord and learn how to look at others with the eyes of faith. In his way people shall entrust their strengths to Jesus so that they can be used to love and respect the others.
