Thank you for this wonderful and timely resource to support our efforts in educating for peace. I serve as contact person for our all-boys, Catholic prep school’s campus chapter of Pax Christi USA. Thanks to all who’ve financially supported this endeavor.
Good to see this moral gap being addressed. I have been concerned about this matter for years and have tried to be an advocate for it within our denomination and with the Canadian government.
