World Council of Churches Visits Sudan

In the Anglican cathedral in Port Sudan on April 21, His Holiness Most Rev. Dr. Rufus Okikiola Ositelu of the Church of the Lord (Prayer Fellowship) Worldwide preached as a member of a delegation from the World Council of Churches. The visitors also met with President Abdul-Fatah al Burhan, Vice-President Malik Agar, and the Minister of Religious Affairs – all displaced from their capital city Khartoum. “I informed him,” said Ositelu “about how we have been engaged in peace missions in the past and present, including Cuba, Colombia, Palestine, and Sudan. I also expressed our concern about the situation in Sudan and shared how we are also involved in humanitarian assistance.” Among the delegates were two Roman Catholic clergy, Fr. James Oyet Latansio, secretary of the South Sudan Council of Churches, and Bishop Santo Loku Pio, auxiliary bishop of Juba, as well as Panti Filibus Musa, archbishop of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria.
