Religion in South Sudan

President Salva Kiir, a Catholic, while speaking at St. Theresa Cathedral in Juba, stated that South Sudan would be a nation which respects freedom of religion.

[3][4] The reported estimated relative proportions of adherents of traditional African religions and Christianity have varied.

However, we live in a country where Christianity is often no more than skin deep, it hasn't grown roots in the life of the population.

[18] On 12 November 2019, evangelist T. B. Joshua from Nigeria addressed the South Sudanese nation at the Presidential Palace in Juba in the presence of President Salva Kiir Mayardit.

[19] From 2-4 February 2023, Justin Welby (Anglican Communion), Pope Francis (Catholic Church), and Iain Greenshields (Church of Scotland Moderator) visited South Sudan through a three-day "pilgrimage of peace to the world's newest nation".
