Beauty and Brotherhood

Dear Mr Eggen,
    Appreciators of the beautiful....that is what Christians are.  What can you do as Education Minister in terms of nurturing good and beautiful ideas in the minds of children?  Surely this is a weighty question without an easy answer.  But stifling Christian schools is certainly not a good tactic.  Just in case you were thinking that it is.
    "Finally, may Christ inflame the desires of all men to break through the barriers which divide them, to strengthen the bonds of mutual love, to learn to understand one another, and to pardon those who have done them wrong. Through His power and inspiration may all peoples welcome each other to their hearts as brothers, and may the peace they long for ever flower and ever reign among them." (Pope John XXIII, Pacem in Terris)
     Sincerely,

Catherine van Kampen,  July 25th,  2018, Feast of St James the Apostle
