The Christian leaders have sent a Christmas greeting to South Sudan’s political leaders, urging them to go further in seeking peace.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has joined with Pope Francis and the Church of Scotland Moderator, the Revd Martin Fair, to send a Christmas greeting to South Sudan’s political leaders and urge them to continue seeking peace.
In their joint letter, they welcome the small progress the leaders have made but say it is not enough for the people of South Sudan.
They remind the political leaders of their commitments made at the Vatican in April 2019 to bring South Sudan to a smooth implementation of the Peace Agreement. They also restate their commitment to making a joint visit to the country.
