    February Web Series Feature Partners in Sudan and Friends in Atlanta

    The Power of Partnerships this month highlights the continuing work of the Episcopal Church of
    Sudan (ECS) and its relief and development arm, SUDRA, to provide assistance to refugees and
    internally displaced people who are returning to their homes in the newly created country of
    Southern Sudan. In addition, to help people prepare for the referendum on independence,
    dioceses of the ECS had been conducting civic education workshops explaining the process and
    importance of voting, as well as the meaning of both possible outcomes.

    February’s Friends of Episcopal Relief & Development celebrates the generosity of one
    congregation, the Church of the Common Ground, in Atlanta, GA. Most of the congregants are
    homeless and living on limited resources, but they took up a collection for Episcopal Relief &
    Development in order to help others in need. Gathering donations through Advent and on
    Christmas Eve, they raised enough money to purchase items from the Gifts for Life catalog,
    “reaching out in peace,” as one member put it, to countries around the world.

    The monthly Power of Partnerships and Friends of Episcopal Relief & Development web
    features share stories about the agency’s partners in the US and worldwide. To find past
