Meeting in Kampala, Uganda in late October, the seven bishops of the Episcopal Church of Sudan shared their responses to the civil war devastating their people.
Gathering face to face in Uganda for their first time since 2023, the seven bishops of the Episcopal Church of Sudan sent a message on October 29 condemning outside countries’ support of the civil war in Sudan. Calling for humanitarian relief corridors to be opened to refugee encampments and towns including El Fasher, the bishops said, “Fire cannot be quenched with fire: only water can make a difference.” They urged all warring parties to receive the initiatives of mediators.
