 How does ‘Christian Europe’ receive Islam in Europe ? How to address the fear of ‘Islamisation’ of Europe and what are the chances for ‘Europeanisation’ of Islam? These were the questions addressed during the third meeting of the series of Dialogue Seminars devoted to Islam, Christianity and Europe organised by CEC, COMECE and the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation, on 3 July 2008 in the European Parliament.
According to Sara Silvestri, Professor at Cambridge University and the City University of London, Islam has clearly contributed to Culture and Science in Europe, whilst having had less influence on the political and legal organisation of society, by contrast with Christianity. |

 The head of the Mongolian Catholic Church has urged Catholics to remain calm and stay away from daily Mass during the four-day state of emergency the government imposed following post-election violence.
"Parishioners should be careful, and if the state of emergency exceeds the initially announced four days, they may stay away from Sunday Mass if they think their safety could be in danger," Bishop Wenceslao Padilla told UCA News on July 2. |

 In order to strengthen our voice as advocates for a transformation of U.S. policies toward Africa, we must take what we learn from the AFJN Conference back home and use it in our own congregations and communities. Our conference is only one step in our work to create change. The United States functions as a representative democracy, meaning our elected officials work for us. However, they must hear from us and our congregations in order to know how to represent us. Becoming a grassroots activist now can set the stage for new policies that promote peace and justice in Africa this year and in the future. |

“But what is wrong with this vehicle?” Fr. Franco Cellana asked aloud after trying to start it yet again. He had done it seven times and the eighth and the ninth didn’t work. Not even pushing it to jump-start could work. The workers of Mukothima mission had been of great help in pushing the car, but even themselves were sure that the vehicle would never start even if a hundred attempts to jump start it were made. What complicated issues was that the vehicle’s engine system was new to most of us and therefore not even the instructions of brother Gaetano through the phone from Nairobi would help. Things were just too technical for us to see the problem. Everybody wished that Br. Gaetano was present in person. |
