The Governor of Jubek State urges the church to preach the Gospel than political issues.
Augustino Jadallah Kamilo Wani says churches have become like political rallies because some politicians go out sad.
The governor stresses the need for the government and the church to work together to move the country forward.
Archbishop Paolino Lukudu Loro of Juba says the church is not against the government.
The church is standing for the truth as written in the Bible, he adds.
The speakers made their statements on Divine Mercy Sunday during the elevation of Holy Rosary Chapel into Parish in the Catholic Archdiocese of Juba.
