Maridi videos launch on YouTube
We are delighted to announce the latest additions to our YouTube channel – a series of five films about our link Diocese of Maridi in South Sudan.
Filmed in October 2012 when a ten–strong team from Down and Dromore and Albany visited Maridi Diocese, the short videos feature Education, Healthcare, Ministry and Youth, Mother’s Union and the Effects of War and the LRA.
We are still looking for parishes to actively engage with Maridi and these videos are a great way to acquaint yourself with the diocese. Please contact us if high quality hard copies would be helpful.

Background
The 3 dioceses have been linked since 2005, before South Sudan gained its independence on 9 July 2011. One of Africa’s longest running civil wars has ravaged the country and it has many needs in terms of basic infrastructure, education and health.
With the help of CMS Ireland, the link has facilitated the building of schools and a clinic as well as the training of teachers and medical staff. The church also faces challenges as it seeks to care for and equip its clergy for ministry and to raise up a new generation of godly leaders, both for church and country.
