Sudan faith leader supports call to forgiveness
Juba, Southern Sudan, January 24 (ENInews) – The head of the Sudan Council of Churches (SCC) has backed a statement by the president of southern Sudan that southerners should forgive northerners for the deaths and atrocities of the 21-year civil war.
The Rev. Ramadan Chan Liol, the general secretary of the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox church grouping, said the appeal by Salva Kiir Mayardit agreed with one the churches were sending to their followers.
"Our faith is built on forgiveness. If there is no forgiveness, there will be no peace," Chan told ENInews in a telephone interview from Khartoum on 21 January.
