Please take the time to read this article about the gassing of girls' schools in Afghanistan, and to alert others to what is taking place. These are issues the Church needs to know about, understand and intercede for. We need to take action and not be absent in the arenas that control or influence our society - politics and the law, economics, education, media and the arts...
The level of cruelty in our world is unthinkable but we know it exists. The key is not to turn a blind eye anymore but to start to speak out on behalf of those who have no voice. Truth be told, I often lack the courage for fear of any negative ramifications, but if I keep silent, I am doing an even greater injustice to those who are suffering.
