AFRECS’ purpose is to hear and respond to the voices of our brothers and sisters in the Episcopal Church of South Sudan and in the Episcopal Church of Sudan.
AFRECS’ goals are to:
- Encourage American dioceses, parishes, and the Executive Council, as well as
Sudanese living in the U.S., to become involved in the Sudans by promoting awareness of Episcopal Church of South Sudan and Episcopal Church of Sudan needs and priorities. - Help U.S. dioceses and parishes share experiences and information about the Sudans through conferences, a newsletter, referrals, and a website.
- Amplify the voice of Sudanese Christians by adding our united voices to theirs in prayer, worship, and witness.
- Help promote successful resettlement by linking together diverse efforts to resettle, recognize, and empower Sudanese already in the U.S.
- Communicate regularly with friends of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan and the Episcopal Church of Sudan in other provinces of the Anglican Communion
