Dear sirs,
I do not know if you will receive this or if it is simply an automatic message postbox to which I write; but I wanted to thank you for
reminding me in the arid-hurly burly of life that there are people who rest in
the palm of christ and whose good work is worth
riches. I
admire everything you do and you are inspiring and exemplars of our beautiful faith, and I simply wanted
to say that, though I am sure that you know it already. The good that you do is
greater than even you realise
With all best wishes,

Greetings!
Thank you for
beginning to format Headlines in more reader-friendly, smaller paragraphs.
I had almost abandond Headlines, because it
came to me in huge, rambling, indigestible blocks of type, especially
difficult to manage on a computer screen. Please continue to offer your
important infomation in short, concise paragraphs.
Your readers will thank you.

Greetings,
Thank you for your invigorating snippets from the SWF.
I have a question about a term that was used .
The writer , whom I would like to know is as well,
refers to having to 'vend' when he was young to pay for school and essentials.
He , and others . relied
on ' vending' . Would this be street sales of a commodity or service?
Please define if you can.
in peace,

Dear Jesuits,
Quoting:
"As I leave Kenya I wonder why we had gathered in Nairobi! For whom was the
World Social Forum organised? Is another Social Forum Possible; a forum
of,
and for the poor; a forum of ordinary people? (Ngonidzashe Edward
SJ,
Zimbabwe)"
This kind of remarks have been heard since WSF was started in Porto Allegre,
Brazil. There is certainly a grain of truth that the participants of the
Forum are "rich people," because poor people cannot afford to
fly thousands
miles, even in economy-class flight. Indeed, the
NGO-s are all well funded.
But, this should not negate the value of the Forum because it is about
"voicing." If each of us fight on our own, our voice will not
be heard. A
forum as big as WSF will definitely have bigger voice,
as it will appear on
most major newspapers and televisions around the
globe. Our struggle is,
first of all, how to make our voice heard. WEF have
been successful to make
their message spread around the globe because they
control the media. If we
are left unheard, then no one will care about the
poor. There is a certainly
the problem of elitism because those who voice
"the voiceless" are the
educated elite; yet, this is
unavoidable.

Ignatius Wibowo, SJ, Indonesia

about the World Social Forum 2007
Dear Friends,
The eperience of the Forum so far leaves me
with a few questions. It is true that any fool can ask more questions in ten
minutes than the wisest man can answer in a lifetime, but maybe we should
reflect on them and look for some answers.
1) Why were there so few people at the Forum? The Kenyan 'Daily News'
reported today that some 42,000 people had registered - far short of the
150,000 or so who assembled in Mumbai or the last time in
2) Were the Jesuits present ready enough to learn as well as teach?
I don't prejudge the answer. As in any group, we differed quite a bit
among ourselves and that isn't
necessarily bad.
3) The one really effective, self-organised and self-motivated grou of collaborators in
'05 was South Asian Peoples' Initiatives (SAPRI). This time, they were
present in larger numbers and seemed to have grown to an independence of the
shelter of the the Society's wing. That could be a
very good thing. Or did they just find lodging where a daily timetable prevented
them from attending evening sessions of the Forum and other nighttime
events too constricting?

receive HEADLINES regularly.
No need to put me on your mailing list.
This latest
issue about the conference
in Narobi is simply wonderful. And why? because
I my heart had been opened to Africa as never before by reading Alexander McCall Smith's trilogy, THE NO. 1

Botswana.
Everybody
in the world who can read English
should read this, and this

Aunque con quince días de atraso, aprovecho para saludarlos por año
nuevo y
para compartirles el saludo con ocasión de la ppda. Navidad: HERMANAS Y
HERMANOS:
Todo el mundo pudo
ver la conjunción de los planetas o “estrella de Belén”
que hizo se desplazaran
los Sabios del Oriente o “Reyes Magos”… al llegar a
Jerusalén hicieron se pusieran en jaque Herodes y resto
de autoridades
(políticas y religiosas)… y recibieron las orientaciones clave para hallar
en un hogar de “una tal María”
al Anunciado por la estrella.
Pero
sólo ellos se desplazaron, Lo buscaron y Lo hallaron…
muy
parecido a
1962 (inicio del Concilio Vaticano II),
1967 (su culminación y los
inicios de los cambios litúrgicos), 7 de marzo de 1967 (los inicios del misal
renovado)… y las reacciones
de los “tridentólatras”… y
de los “sede-vacantistas…
2006 (“elección” de León XIV)… y
propuestas de Don Emanuel Milingo y compañeros
¿2007?
Un gran abrazo por esta Navidad
y por los cambios que esperamos forjar el
próximo año,
Conrado.

Apreciado Padre Franco.
reciba mi más sincero y cordial saludo de paz en el Señor
desde tierras colombianas, más exactamente desde el departamento de Antioquía, Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola.
He leído el correo acerca del Foro Mundial Social que se lleva a cabo en
Africa, realmente emocionante el trabajo que la
Compañía de Jesús realiza en bien de la sociedad africana y desde luego en
extensión por la sociedad que busca mejorar sus condiciones de vida.
Simplemente quiero unirme a sus intenciones y confirmar lo que ustedes
bien dicen: un mejor mundo posible puede ser realidad si nos unimos todos como cuerpo
y dejamos que la mano de Dios obre sobre nosotros con transparencia.
Cuente con mis oraciones y que bueno que jesuitas colombianos que estamnos deseosos de trabajar en bien de la sociedad
mundial tuvieramos la oportunidad de vivir más de
cerca la experiencia que ustedes viven en estos momentos.
Con sincera admiración,
Juan Manuel Montoya Parra, S.J

Le thèmes du Forum semblent plus larges, pourquoi la
famille ignatienne n'intègre pas les phénomènes
"enfants de et dans les rues", la formation et l'information, la
pauvreté et les pauvres pour en débattre à partir de l'Afrique ? Qu'apporte de concret ces forums ? Uniquement la foire aux
idées et débats ou de réalisations aussi ? J'imagine que nous sommes en
interactivité, qu'on peut discuter.

Un cordial bonjour de Montréal, Canada, sous la neige!
D'abord sachez que vous êtes tous et toutes en mes prières, je demande au
Seigneur de vous accorder courage et discernement. En guise d'amitié, je vous
présente de manière virtuelle, une de mes dernières toiles: "........ils
partirent la nuit.....", ce sont les péricopes de Mt.2: 13-15; et Jn.I: XI-15 qui sont à l'origine de cette toile.. Je me laisse toujours interpellé par l'Écriture et
vient un moment que le sujet s'impose à moi, alors à main levée je prends mes
crayons et trace un croquis, puis, ce sont mes pinceaux qui viennent traduire
ma démarche spirituelle.... Encore une fois merci de me tenir au courant de vos
apostolats, vous êtes en mes prières.

Caro p. Franco, ho ricevuto Headlines di gennaio con i documenti preparatori del WSF di Nairobi.
Sono stato per anni direttore di JRS e procuratore delle missioni e ho una certa conoscenza di Madagascar e
Sri Lanka e un po' del terzo mondo.
Mi colpisce che tra gli argomenti
trattati manchi qualunque accenno ai problemi della difesa della vita
dal concepimento al suo naturale tramonto. Lei sa bene che sono temi
che oggi dividono i dibattiti tra gli addetti
ai lavori e c'è tutta una linea
culturale, di pensiero e di azione che si oppone ad essi pur parlando di campagne anti
AIDS, di pace e difesa dell'ambiente.
Ma tutto si tiene e non si può parlare di questi senza trattare
anche i temi pro life! Io ritengo
che come gesuiti dobbiamo aver presenti tali
tematiche cruciali e ben presenti nell'attuale magistero della chiesa per la difesa
integrale della persona umana e farle ben risuonare nei consessi
internazionali anche a costo
di essere non ben accetti. Voglia gradire i miei più fraterni saluti e resto a sua disposizione
qualora si volesse approfondire e portare avanti la riflessione su
quanto detto. Aff.mo, p.
Carlo Sorbi s.i.
