Prayer for Peace in Sudan

On 9th January 2011 there will be a referendum in Sudan, in which southern states will vote on possible secession from the north of the country. It is a moment of hope -- and of fear.

Now more than ever, the country that only five years ago emerged from Africa's longest civil war needs the support of the international community -- including Australia-- to prevent the return to full-scale violent conflict and to build a lasting peace.

The Sudanese Church has asked us to stand alongside them, to call upon the international community, and to pray for peace -- before, during and after the referendum.
