The Justice, Peace and Reconciliation Commission (JPRC), is a department within the Episcopal Church of South Sudan. It was established in 2000 to champion the cause of justice, peace, reconciliation and healing among various communities affected by the long civil conflicts in South Sudan.  It is currently chaired by Bishop Samuel Peni (Diocesan Bishop of Nzara).

Since 2000, JPRC has been directly involved in peace building in the country conducting numerous peace and reconciliation workshops, conferences and advocacy.  It’s envisioned a peaceful society, free from violent and hatred.
