词条 | Detwoc |
释义 |
Detwoc is a Shilluk village in the state of Upper Nile in South Sudan, and is situated on the western bank of the Nile river, {{convert|16|km|0}} from the town of Kodok, which is approximately two hours by boat north of the state capital Malakal. The Catholic Church established a mission station in Detwok in 1923, its third in the region after Lul and Tonga. A fourth mission was subsequently established in Yoynyang. The missions were originally managed by the Comboni Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus, a Catholic Missionary Order established by Daniel Comboni. Immediately prior to World War II, the Detwok mission was taken over by Mill Hill fathers. The mission station was a fairly typical one, and included a school, health centre and church. The station was abandoned by the church in the early 1980s because of the second Sudanese civil war, but began to be re-developed after the ending of that conflict in 2005. References
