ROME: 31st March 2005 --  The Rector major's most recent letter and Easter greetings will soon, if they have not already, reach each community.  In the meantime, the letter, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us', is available on www.sdb.org Not only.....

    For those in East Asia Oceania, perhaps the most important document of the Rector Major that we have is his final talk at the recent Hua Hin Team Visit.  Drawn from the week of discussions, practical, sensitive to important issues, and well presented in an English version (with, at last, the substitution of the word 'organic' by 'overall' in the spelling out of OPP), this letter too is available to any reader of sdb.org.

    But for those who register - just a click, four or five pieces of basic information to provide, and a few hours wait for your details - there are further riches still.  Do consider registering, since it provides opportunity for sharing files and exchanging ideas between confreres, and for obtaining documents that are usually not to be found in the public areas.  For those registering from EAO - that information is picked up in the registration process - prepare shortly for the opportunity to use this reserved area (i.e. reserved to EAO members) for exchange and information peculiar to our region.

    Even for general 'surfing' within the site, there are riches untold.  Two areas in particular are worth exploring:  resources, departments. Looking for a PowerPoint for youth ministry or for the community conference?  If you have the bandwidth there are videos available.  Cartoons?  Hundreds of them from the link to the Qumran site.  Want formation documents?  Examples of personal life project outlines....
