A Message from the Secretary General to the Archbishop of the Sudan

On behalf of the people of the Anglican Communion I extend our deepest
sympathy and prayers as you mourn the death of your Vice President John
Garang. The Episcopal Church in the Sudan is part of the wider Christian
community that we salute as people seeking to be instruments of
peace-making and care for God's people in the land.

It is our prayer that John Garang's vision and his strategy for
reconciliation and mutual respect be one that will in the end see the
fulfilment of his dream for the implementation of peace in Sudan for all
its people.

We have been particularly concerned as news of civil unrest reaches us.
We pray for all who have been injured or are fearful at this time and we
hope that calm can be restored and work move forward to lasting peace
for this great nation.

The Revd Canon Kenneth Kearon
Secretary General, Anglican Communion
