Description
Members of the South Sudan Council of Churches gatjer for an ecumenical prayer session for ‘peace and justice in South Sudan'.
The prayer initiative was organised by church leaders in South Sudan as part of the preparatory activities for the visit of Pope Francis alongside the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, Jim Wallace. The visit was postponed on June 10 due to health concerns about the Pope's ongoing knee injury. The news sparks mixed reactions in South Sudan, with one priest lamenting " I felt like our efforts have been... we had exhausted our efforts for nothing". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
