Justin Welby Instagram – I’m saddened to learn of the passing to glory of retired Bishop Paride Taban on All Saints Day 2023. It was an honour to meet him in his quest for peace in his beloved South Sudan, both among leaders and the people, at the national and community level. Bishop Paride’s unique Peace Village provided a venue for rival groups to work close-up at their differences and solve many of them. It was my honour in 2017 to present him the Hubert Walter Award for his peacebuilding efforts and the promotion of the education of boys and girls. I pray for Bishop Paride’s family, all who loved him, and for the people of South Sudan who he served in Christ’s name. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
