The South Sudan Council of Churches has launched a booklet on nonviolence to inspire hope and transformation among church leaders and the community. Collaborating with PAX, this initiative aims to promote active nonviolent practices and education within congregations, urging leaders to reject hatred and embrace reconciliation as a pathway to peace.
In South Sudan, the South Sudan Council of Churches (SSCC) recently launched a booklet aimed at promoting nonviolence, emphasizing hope and transformation within the community. Collaborating with PAX, a major Dutch peace organization, the SSCC created this booklet to encourage church leaders to act beyond mere words and engage actively in nonviolent initiatives.
This initiative is pivotal for South Sudan, a nation grappling with legacies of violence and conflict. The SSCC aims to galvanize church leaders into advocating for peace, reconciliation, and social justice, establishing churches as safe havens where communities can foster courage and grace to resolve conflicts with nonviolence.
The launch of the nonviolence booklet reflects a critical step towards nurturing a culture of peace in South Sudan. It serves as a powerful invitation for church leaders to engage in transformative actions and unite their communities under principles of love, forgiveness, and dialogue, moving away from cycles of division and hostility.
