People across the Communion have stepped up to support of the people of Sudan as the country prepares for its historic referendum on Sunday (9th).
Online demonstrations of concern for the state of the country and for its pending vote include prayer walls, a Facebook campaign, videos and blogs.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams issued a statement on Friday calling the 9th January “an immensely important day for Sudan.” He urged everyone to stand with the Sudanese people “to ensure that the referendum takes place peacefully and that the process and the results are fully respected.”
Lent & Beyond has posted a [url=http://anglicanprayer.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/sudan-collection/]collection[/url] of over 70 prayers for Sudan. The post is “sticky” and will remain at the top of the front page for a while. Please visit regularly. There are plenty of prayers to keep it from feeling repetitious.
If you mount a serious prayer effort, remember to put on the armor of God!
