Indeed... A great loss to the ecumenical world... #RIP dear Dr Agnes Abuom
I mourn the loss of a great servant of Christ, Dr Agnes Abuom. A woman of deep faith, she believed every difficult situation should be taken to God in prayer, and conflict resolution began with dialogue.
May her gentle soul rest in the Lord.

Water is our world's lifeblood, but it's being poisoned by pollution & drained by overuse.
This #WorldWaterDay let's reflect on our individual & collective roles to sustainably use and manage humanity’s lifeblood.
Let’s take action to ensure equitable access to water for all.
