Pax Christi in Clifton

Following involvement of a coach party of Clifton Cathedral parishioners in the Stop the War demonstration against the invasion of Iraq, Pat Gaffney, General Secretary of Pax Christi, will be speaking about the organisation's work and role at this difficult time in world relations on Thursday 24 June at 8.00 pm in the James Room, Clifton Cathedral. An exhibition about Pax Christi will be displayed in the Cathedral from Saturday 19 June. The meeting and exhibition are open to all those sympathetic to the aims of Pax Christi.

Pax Christi is the international Roman Catholic movement for peace. Pax Christi, meaning "Peace of Christ", is a gospel-based lay-inspired, peacemaking movement. Founded in the Catholic Church, its membership is open to individuals, groups and organisations of all faiths who are in sympathy with its aims and values. It is affiliated to Pax Christi International. Pax Christi strives to help the Church and the wider community to proclaim and to make peace, through its experience and ideas, and especially through the witness and action of its members. The three major objectives of Pax Christi are:
- reconciliation
- the promotion of a culture of peace and nonviolence
- providing the means to bring about peace e.g. through peace education resources and training.
