Today the church remembers the Martyrs of the Sudan, 1983

                      Proverbs 3:13,18

Happy are those who find wisdom
She is a tree of life for those

who lay hold of her, those 
who hold her fast are called happy.
 

In 1983 the “government of Sudan was seized by Islamists who declared sharia, requiring all Sudanese to convert to Islam on pain of death.  On May 16 a small group of Anglican and Roman Catholic chiefs in southern Sudan, together with their bishops, clergy, and laity, declared that they “would not abandon God as [they] knew him”.  With that declaration the second cycle of the Sudanese civil war began.” says a website call For All the Saints. 
                           Pray for the Sudan 
and for Christians living there. Pray  for the Sudanese living in San Diego and for the Episcopal Refugee Network at St Luke's.
