Duke Divinity School and Virginia Theological Seminary launched the Renk Visiting Teacher Program to help meet the acute need for strong indigenous theological education in Southern Sudan.

Through the Renk Visiting Teachers Program, advanced students, graduates and faculty teach for periods of two to six weeks at the Renk Theological College in Southern Sudan.

Take a look at these two slide shows by the Worldwide Partners of the Episcopal Church of the Sudan that capture the essence of country and the people who live there.

• A Visit To Renk provides a profile of the Renk Diocese
• Southern Sudan: A Photo Journal chronicles the travels of Buck Blanchard of the Diocese of Virginia, Phil Darrow of St. Michael’s of Barrington, Ill., and Robin Denney to several dioceses in 2009.
