Deep concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Sudan have spurred more than 100 members of the Episcopal (Anglican) Church in the United States to demonstrate outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C. The protest was led by Francis Campbell Gray, the assistant Episcopal bishop for the state of Virginia.
The demonstration on 26 May was triggered by a court-ordered seizure the week before against the Episcopal Church of the Sudan, in which personnel were evicted from church offices, the Episcopal News Service (ENS) reported.
There is a long history of tension between the Sudanese government and the Episcopal Church, ENS said, and Sudan military and police have confiscated an Episcopal cathedral in Khartoum and have also tried to demolish church-run schools.

As the world continues to grieve the unending cycle of violence in the Sudan, my attention is sadly drawn to the actions of the Sudanese government in once again carrying out an act of aggression against the Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS).
Today's actions follow a long history of Government aggression toward the Church and interference in Church properties that has included the confiscation of the old Khartoum Cathedral, attempts to confiscate the headquarters of the Diocese of Khartoum in Omduran, and efforts to demolish Church-run schools in the Diocese of Renk.
Like the ongoing Government-sponsored ethnic cleansing in Darfur in western Sudan, today's actions serve as a somber reminder that, even at a time when many had hoped and prayed that peace was on the horizon for the Sudan, violence remains a tragic reality.
