Dear Dr.Kevin,
Welcome back from Toronto. It is interesting to read your messages.
Thank you for having added more ways how to renew ourselves during the
Lenten season.
We see how Religion is not a private affair, but entails the whole human
existence.
This is biblical humanism (or also secular humanism)...
directing Science and scientific-technological progress...

Another initiative you may have heard of is even shorter but makes a
positive impact on our consciousness of how dependent we have become
on polluting sources of energy. http://www.earthhour.org/
We should thank and praise our Nigel for having called our attention to it.
Regards.
Fr.Ivo
