\"I want you to know that Mission 21's work to build a more just and fraternal world is appreciated...\" That's what the letter Mission 21 received from the Vatican in mid-July says. Pope Francis' appreciation is also related to Mission 21's commitment to peacebuilding in South Sudan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unusual letter arrived at Jochen Kirsch's home in mid-July. The sender was the Vatican Secretariat of State. In English, it expresses appreciation to the director of Mission 21 for the work of the ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referring to Mission 21's work \"to promote peace and reconciliation, to improve education and health, and to overcome poverty,\" Pope Francis sends word: \"Know that Mission 21's work to build a more just and fraternal world is appreciated and that His Holiness will not forget you and your collaborators in his prayers.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great joy about appreciation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter is signed by Monsignor Roberto Campisi, one of the senior men in the Vatican's Secretariat of State, the main foreign relations office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This letter makes me extraordinarily happy!\" says Jochen Kirsch. \"It is a confirmation of our work, in which we work ecumenically, interreligiously and across cultural boundaries so that people can live together peacefully.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peacebuilding in South Sudan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cooperation also takes place in South Sudan through a particularly committed organization, the South Sudan Federation of Churches (SSCC). The SSCC is a partner organization of Mission 21; in this umbrella organization, the churches work together for reconciliation and an end to violence in the youngest state on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members are also the Presbyterian Church and the Roman Catholic Church. The SSCC is an encouraging example of lived ecumenism and interreligious cooperation. Jochen Kirsch says: \"Especially in view of this cooperation, but also in view of our interreligious activities in other fragile contexts, I am particularly pleased with the Vatican's recognition.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
