'No quick fix' in Sudan says World Council of Churches leader

One of the lessons that a delegation of church leaders has learnt from a recent visit to Sudan is that after 21 years of civil war, there is "no quick fix" available for Africa's biggest country, says the Rev. Samuel Kobia, general secretary of the World Council of Churches, reports Ecumenical News International. Kobia explained that after the signing of a 1972 peace agreement in Addis Ababa, "We were criticised for abandoning churches in Sudan." Speaking on 3 April at the close of a three-day Sudanese church congress in Juba that brought together Sudan's church leaders and the WCC delegation, Kobia added, "We have leant from our mistakes, and that is why we want to do it differently."
