 Peruvians are calling it a miracle that despite the massive destruction to the Shine of Luren—located in the province of Ica--in the August 15 earthquake in Peru, the huge crucifix venerated for centuries by Peruvians was unscathed.
The image of the Crucified Christ, which has been venerated in the city of Ica since the 16th century, suffered no damage even though half of the shrine was destroyed by the 8.0 magnitude quake that shook the Peruvian coastline and took the lives of more than 600, leaving thousands wounded.
Officials said the shrine suffered severe damage and that there may still be victims buried beneath the rubble, as the church was almost full when the earthquake struck during a Mass for the Feast of the Assumption. |

 South Africa, like many other countries of the so-called developing world is marked by the rapid and intensive urbanization.City life offers many opportunities for learning, earning and entertainment. One meets there modernity, technology, good infrastructure, services and investment. People are flocking to the city because of their hope for employment.Having arrived to a big city one wakes up quickly facing inequality, poverty and suffering. For the poor there is no stable source of income. Families are broken, men are absent and women have to take all the responsibility for the maintenance of the family. |

 1. Every country has the responsibility to protect its citizens. But we believe that the cause can be best served by multilateral negotiations on disarmament with stringent compliance and verification measures. More and more weapons will not make our world more secure. The means of security will in turn become the threat to security itself.2. Pax Christi International firmly believes that development and deployment of such systems will have major detrimental consequences on bilateral and multilateral disarmament initiatives. It will undermine confidence building measures for disarmament, freeze progress in arms reduction, jeopardise future arms control agreements, and fuel arms race leading to the weaponisation of outer space. |

The journey of our human growth and our Christian maturity
 About fifteen months ago, when surfing the net, by chance, Martin came in contact with the “World Social Forum” (WSF). Talking with his friends and relatives, he realised that, they too, were not aware of such gathering, or, worse, confused this gathering with other “forums” especially those related just to economic matters and multinationals. |
