Friend and former Mill Hill missionary, John Ashworth, has profound inside knowledge of both Church and Society in Sudan and South Sudan. His latest book entitled “Faith on the Margins. The Diocese of Malakal’ traces the troubled history of this fascinating local Church in what is now South Sudan.
I hope I can be forgiven for mentioning my own latest book. “Faith on
the Margins: The Diocese of Malakal” has just been published by
Paulines Publications Africa.
From the bookcover:
“Malakal has always been on the margins of both the old Sudan and the
new South Sudan. This book traces the development of a strong Catholic faith, from the arrival of the first missionaries amongst the
scattered pastoralist communities in 1901, to the erection of a
fully-fledged indigenous diocese in 1974, culminating in the joyful
celebration of its Golden Jubilee in 2024.”
Availability:
It’s available in the Paulines sisters’ Catholic bookshops in Juba and
Nairobi, can be order online from www.paulinesafrica.org, and the
e-book is available on Amazon.
