  • Working for the Future of Wau
    Working for the Future of Wau A Word from the Diocesan Bishop of Wau By Rt, Rev, Moses Deng Bol. Accepting Change As a bishop in an Anglican church life can be really very demanding and sometimes I admit that I can become sleepy in the daytime. Actually sometimes when I am not doing something that is important my mind it can wander and I daydream. This is not always a bad thing because often when we let go of the world we connect with God. It is like closing your eyes to pray so that you are not distracted by this or that. Recently I was daydreaming about the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain, if you do not know this story you can read about it in the Gospel of Luke chapter 9 verse 28 to verse 37. Jesus climbs a tall mountain with three disciples and while he is there his appearance changes, his face shines like Moses and his clothes become very bright almost too bright to Index look at.
