The Archbishop of Canterbury meets the U.N. Secretary General

Posted by Kendall Harmon

The Archbishop said:

"The Church in Sudan is completely committed to peace and development and will work with all agencies, governmental and non-governmental, committed to the same goals. Its infrastructure is at the service of the community, the government and international agencies".

Earlier in the day the Archbishop met the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict Ms Radhika Coomaraswamy. The rehabilitation of children who had become caught up in conflict was a key role for churches, so too was protecting children from the vortex of abuse and violence including trafficking and abduction.

"The nurture of children is the touchstone of our mature care of humanity" said Dr Williams.

Read it all and enjoy the picture.
