Join us for a powerful digital workshop that delves into the ongoing crisis in Sudan and South Sudan, where devastating violence has claimed thousands of lives, displaced over 10 million people, and pushed millions more to the brink of starvation. As rival military factions battle for control, civilians bear the brunt of the conflict, facing unimaginable hardship and human rights abuses.
This timely conversation will feature Sudanese and American experts who will shed light on the roots of the conflict, the current humanitarian situation, and the path toward potential solutions. Panelists will explore how people of faith—including members of the Episcopal Church—and advocates of good will can take action to support peace, justice, and survival in the region.
In collaboration with the American Friends of the Episcopal Church in the Sudans (AFRECS), this webinar will also highlight the crucial work being done by Episcopal leaders in Sudan to offer hope amidst the crisis. Learn about AFRECS’s initiatives to amplify the church’s witness for peace and provide humanitarian aid to those in desperate need.
