Gloria Minott Presents...Bishop Macram Max Gassis_Episode 157

Former Nobel Peace Prize nominee and former head of the (geographically) largest diocese in Sudan, Bishop Macram Max Gassis talks about the problems in Sudan and touches briefly on President Barack Obama's recent visit to Africa. Sometimes called the "bishop of the rebels", Bishop Gassis helped establish what is now known as the Sudan Relief Fund, a Virginia-based non-profit that has worked to support Catholic hospitals, a Catholic radio station, schools, water projects, food provisions and refugee kits. The organization also supports Catholic evangelization. The fund recently changed its name from the Bishop Gassis Sudan Relief Fund in order to express an “expanded mission” to partner with other bishops, religious orders, and Catholic organizations throughout South Sudan.
