Cardinal in South Sudan Urges Pastoral Agents to Foster “spirit of inclusivity, understanding, respect for one another”

The South Sudanese Cardinal further explained, “Collaboration, on the other hand, enables us to pull out talents, resources and energies towards a common goal, the advancement of the kingdom of God here on earth.”

“When we work together in harmony and mutual support, we amplify the impact of our collective efforts, spreading the message of love, justice and peace to all corners of this Archdiocese of Juba,” the Local Ordinary of Juba who also serves as the President of the Sudan Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SCBC) said.

He called on pastoral agents in Juba Archdiocese to “renew our commitment to fostering unity and collaboration within our Catholic community.”

“Let us seek ways to bridge divides, heal wounds and build relationships and bless our endeavors as we seek to foster unity and collaboration within the Catholic Archdiocese of Juba in this year,” the Cardinal whose transfer from Torit Diocese to Juba Archdiocese in December 2019 was met with resistance from a section of the Clergy and Laity of South Sudan’s only Metropolitan See said.

The South Sudanese Cardinal continued, “Together, let us be the light that shines brightly in the darkness, bringing hope, healing and reconciliation to all whom we encounter.”
