Archbishop: South Sudan Needs Devine Healing
South Sudan needs a divine healing, the Archbishop of the Episcopal Church of Sudan and South Sudan his Grace Daniel Deng Bul Yaak has said Sunday. 21 May 2013 By Misuk Moses Mule JUBA, 21 May 2013 [Gurtong] - He was addressing the faithful on Sunday in Juba where he said that God cannot bless the country because of tribalism and urged the congregation to be nationalists. “This country is very sick and we need doctors. If we are a family of God, we can heal this country from all the diseases that we are going through,” he said. The bishop said that as people of God, all should treat each other as brothers, shunning tribalism as he added that there is need to thank the Almighty if he is to bless South Sudan. According to him, there is need for transformation from tribes if the country is to be strong and that change should begin individually. However, he noted that human beings can disagree but advised the people to treat issues individually other than treating them tribally. He said that this generation is lucky to have been blessed with a new country and that there is need to thank God and have a sense of nationalism, solidarity and faith. Bishop Deng recognised need for reconciliation and forgiveness in the country and urged people to stop land grabbing in Juba and in the country as a whole. “I want to warn you my brothers in Juba and the whole of South Sudan that let us not begin grabbing land because God is not going to bless us,” he said. He advised citizens to wait for the government to distribute the land and called on all people to respect the government, arguing that the South Sudanese government and all governments in the world are chosen by God.
