The church is seen as a force for stability in Southern Sudan in this short blog post from The Economist: "Government leaders are jealous of the stability of the church. It is the only organisation that survived decades of civil war intact. In fact, it has thrived, in part because it alone could offer steady, non-violent employment to the educated."

In the past, the church has often stood as a dividing point among people groups so it is good to hear that it is bringing people together in peace. Unfortunately, due to the political situation in Sudan, politics will be an inevitable part of the church. However, if the people who make up the church can remain focused on that which brought them together in the first place, Jesus Christ, then the church can continue to bring peace among the Sudanese.
