Ministry and Outreach:

"WHY RENK DIOCESE IN SUDAN?
The Episcopal Church of Sudan is the second largest church in southern Sudan. Renk Diocese, formed in 1995, is on the border between the mostly Islamic north and the mostly Christian and African traditionalist south, and is commonly called he "gateway" between north and south Sudan. Bishop Daniel Deng Bul and the clergy minister to thousands of internally displaced southern Sudanese women, men and children who were forced to flee to the north in order to escape slavery, starvation and death due to a 21-year civil war. The fundamentalist Islamic government of Sudan imposed Islam on the south through force, denying religious freedom by any means. Bishop Daniel Deng Bul studied at Virginia Theological Seminary in 1997, and brought the little-known story of this persecution of Christians to the Church in the U.S."
