Several clergy from York County are among 1,400 who signed a letter for President Obama earlier this month urging him to seek sustainable peace in Darfur.
The Revs. Robert Hoover, Judy McKee, Elizabeth Polanzke, Edgar Reed, Kevin Shively, Patricia Snyder, Timothy Seitz-Brown, Allan Wysocki, Paula Stecker and others emphasized the decades of war, famine and marginalization in
Sudan and urged Obama to continue efforts to enforce the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the North and South.
The letter was delivered Oct. 2 to Josh DuBois, director of the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. It was coordinated by the faith-based Save Darfur Coalition - an alliance of more than 180 advocacy and human rights organizations.
