“Discrimination that has destroyed our country should not be in the Church; so, you need to have one heart as the people of God,” the 51-year-old Catholic Bishop who started his Episcopal Ministry on May 15 emphasized.
He continued, “You are warmly welcomed in this country by the citizens; so, you should not do anything bad in this country because you are here to seek a peaceful place.”
“You should take the good things from here and leave the bad ones here when you are going back home,” Bishop Lodiong told the South Sudanese refugees in DRC said, and added, “You came here peacefully, you should go back peacefully.”
He underscored the need to live by the truth and the value of listening, saying, “If someone is telling you something true you should listen because this is the right way for you to get good things ahead but if you are not listening you will not get good things in the future.”
“I want to tell you that God has given people different things in life; we should not see other people who are doing whatever God has given to him or her with a bad heart,” the South Sudanese Catholic Bishop further said.
