- Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Affichant une fière et spectaculaire unité nationale, les citoyens de Mongolie ont clairement fait le choix de la paix et de la prospérité lors du Festival mondial pour la paix d’Oulan-Bator. Quelques semaines après des élections contestées qui menaçaient d’amener ce peuple historique de l’Asie au bord de la guerre civile, une foule immense prenait à nouveau d’assaut la place Sukhbaatar ; mais cette fois c’était pour chanter et danser pour la paix.

Une jeune togolaise évoque la force de l'amour
- Monday, September 1, 2008
Si nous essayons tous de pratiquer l'amour vrai, sans se soucier ni de l'apparence ni des préjugés, nous pourrons ressentir la liberté d'être unis les uns avec les autres grâce à ce même amour. Je pense que l'Eglise au plan mondial peut exercer une plus grande influence dans la réalité quotidienne de notre temps pour promouvoir la paix entre les nations si elle pratique vraiment les enseignements du Christ et collabore avec l'ONU.
