South Sudan Trip: The Rev. Oran E. Warder

The Rev. Oran E. Warder just returned from his trip to Sudan with St. Paul's mission partners in the city of Juba in the new nation of South Sudan.  At the invitation of Archbishop Daniel he attended the General Synod of the Episcopal Church of Sudan.  This gathering happens every five years and is the first such gathering since Independence.  The Episcopal Church of Sudan now spans two nations, both filled with struggle and seemingly insurmountable difficulty. The Church is at the center of the work of reconciliation – and this suffering church is exploding in growth – now over 4 million strong.  There are more Episcopalians on the continent of African than in the rest of the world combined, making us the third largest Christian body in the world.
