| Dear ,
The world is changing in remarkable ways due to impact and influence of technology. Now we see how Facebook and Twitter have be put at the service of political change. The entire world has been watching the way Egypt's citizens have mobilized, built momentum, sustained the pressure, and demanded the resignation of Mubarak. The hunger for democracy, freedom and political change mean a new day for Egypt.
We watch with hope, but pray for continued peace as this event creates ripple effects in the Arab world and across the Middle East.
We have a new lineup of resources to support your ministry of faith and justice. Please see our list at the left.
Peace,
Sr. Katherine Feely, SND
