"I feel guilty looking at even a $20 note and thinking about how my family in Sudan has nothing to drink and eat. Financially, our families in Sudan depend on us," (The Rev'd Rebecca King, pictured here in December 2023 at St John's Cathedral)

“Remember the Sudanese people in your personal prayers and in your Sunday service intercessions”

“Despite what people may read or hear in the media, the war in Sudan is not about religion. In 2021 when my Anglican priest father was murdered — at a time when the unrest, that led to the war, started — Muslims and Christians gathered for his funeral. My priest father was beloved by the whole community. The war is about resources — about access to gold and oil,” says The Rev’d Rebecca King
