Sudan

WASHINGTON (UMNS)-A biblically based study, developed to accompany a best-selling book on the crisis in Darfur, is available to help the Christian community mobilize against atrocities in Sudan.

Not on Our Watch Christian Companion: Biblical Reflections on the Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond is an eight-week study written by Bill Mefford, director of civil and human rights for the United Methodist Board of Church and Society, and Greg Leffel, president of One Horizon Foundation.

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Many perspectives have been used over the years as the basis for Scripture study, but a new Bible study using ongoing genocide as its basis may be a first. "The Not on Our Watch Christian Companion" uses the atrocities in Darfur, a region in Sudan, for its biblical reflections.
