Archbishop and Primate of the Province of the Episcopal Church of the Sudan and Bishop of Juba

4 July 2011

Dear Archbishop,

Many greetings to you from the trustees of Anglican International Development. We hope this letter finds you well.

Please be assured of our prayers for you personally, the Episcopal Church of Sudan, other Christians and all the peoples of the Sudan both North and South at this momentous time.

God, indeed, is to be thanked for the new nationhood being established on 9th July 2011 in the South and for the South Sudan's new membership in the Commonwealth.

We are encouraging our supporting Anglican churches, both in the United Kingdom and around the world, to join with us in our prayers for God's blessing on the South Sudan.

We are praying for a peaceful transition, good governance and, above all, the South's political leaders to be concerned for God's will to be done in the new nation for the good of the church and of all people.

Yours in Christ

John Inglis-Jones
Executive Officer
