Geneva II: For the Vatican, dialogue, not war, is the only solution to the Syrian crisis
Mgr Silvano Tomasi spoke yesterday at the Peace Conference, noting that the meeting should consider first the people of Syria, not the quest for power of one or the other faction.

He also reiterated Pope Francis' commitment to peace and a culture of dialogue.
Nepal becoming a "hub" for gold smuggling out of China
In the past six months, Nepali police made several arrests and seized 46 kilos of the precious metal in connection with the highly profitable activity. Chinese President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption policies are to blame for the growing illegal trade. With India as the main point of destination for Chinese gold, Nepal has become the major transit point for smuggling.
Filipino bishops "join" social media to evangelise
Ahead of its Plenary Assembly, the Bishops' Conference organises a seminar for its members on the use of the Internet and new communication media.

Pantura: after decades of "apathy", Catholics revive missionary spirit
For over 50 years, the Church's presence in this region of Central Java has been "insignificant." Now, a renewed commitment in favour of active witness begins with a new pastoral centre, backed by a website. With this in mind, a seminar focusing on interreligious dialogue and evangelisation through the web was held a few days ago.

Largest asteroid Ceres is venting water vapor into space
This is the first unambiguous detection of water vapor around an object in the asteroid belt.
This date in science: Sweden goes first to ban aerosol sprays
Virtually every country on Earth banned the use of chlorofluorocarbon-propelled aerosol cans with the adoption of the Montreal Protocol in 1989. Since the mid-1990s, scientists say, the area and depth of the Antarctic ozone hole have roughly stabilized. But, they said recently, the ozone hole is still not in recovery.
This date in science: A record-setting dive into the deepest ocean
The submersible vehicle Trieste made a record-setting dive to the deepest surveyed part of the ocean. Trieste was a bathyscaphe – “deep boat” – owned by the U.S. Navy. It was a free-diving, self-propelled deep-sea submersible, and it dove – with two crew members aboard – into the Marianas Trench east of the Philippines, whose deepest portion is called the Challenger Deep. It took nine hours to descend 6.83 miles (10,911 meters) to the deepest ocean.
What’s a safe distance between us and an exploding star?
With the new supernova in M82 (11-12 million light-years away), you might be wondering ... how close is too close? Scientific literature cites 50 to 100 years as the closest safe distance between Earth and a supernova.
What makes a halo around the sun or moon?
Halos around the moon – or sun – are a sign of thin cirrus clouds drifting high above our heads. They are a sign of nearby storms.

Egypt: Coptic Christians Kidnapped Weekly, Held for Ransom by Radicals
Organization Records 69 Cases of Kidnapping in 2013
International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that Coptic Christians in Upper Egypt continue to be targeted for kidnapping and extortion on a weekly basis. The most recent case occurred on Tuesday morning when masked men abducted 52-year-old Nady Farag Massad at gunpoint in the governorate of Minya. According to local sources, Mr. Massad was purchasing bread for his family at a local bakery when the gunmen forced him into their vehicle and fled the scene. Two days later, Mr. Massad’s kidnappers have yet to contact anyone demanding a ransom.
Kazakhstan: Foreigners Who Share Faith Targeted for Deportation
Typically outside of the international media spotlight, Kazakhstan has slowly but surely tightening restrictions on the religious freedom of 16.8 million citizens. As the following article points out, foreigners who share their faith are deported, despite the countries commitment to upholding international human rights standards. ICC has also highlighted the case of Pastor Kashkumbayev, a Presbyterian minister from the capital of Astana, who has been imprisoned since May of 2013. The Kazakh government denies it is committing any human rights violations, despite protests from international human rights organizations.
Memorial Services Held on 20th Anniversary of Iranian Pastors Martyrdom
Pastor Haik Hovsepian gave everything for his faith. In 1994, Pastor Haik, the superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church in Iran, was murdered just days after holding a successful protest for the release of a fellow pastor. At the time his murder sparked widespread media coverage and drew attention to the lack of religious freedom in Iran. Sadly, two decades later, little has improved for religious minorities in the country. Today Christians continue to face "systematic persecution" and imprisonment. Perhaps the most well-known religious prisoner in the West currently, Pastor Saeed Abedini, has been in imprisoned in Iran for over a year.
World’s Oldest Christian Communities Threatened with Extinction
The following article provides an excellent overview of the situation for Christians across the Middle East who, if current trends continue, are facing extinction. It also asks the pivotal question, why isn't the West outraged? For a decade the Middle East has been emptying of Christians by the hundreds of thousands as radical Islamic movements in the region become increasingly violent. Syria, Iraq, and Egypt are perhaps the best examples of this trend. ICC is actively working to raise awareness and bring assistance to many of these communities.
Christians in Nanle County, China, Continue to Face Persecution
The arrest of Pastor Zhang Shaojie and 23 of his church members ten weeks ago has sparked one of the most egregious incidents of Christian persecution in China in recent months. While about half of the believers have been released, many continue to face intimidation and harassment, including Pastor Shaojie's family. Lawyers attempting to defend the Christians legal rights have been roughed up by government sponsored thugs and even international film crews have been attacked. Now Pastor Shaojie faces trumped up charges of "fraud" and "disturbing public order." Genuine religious freedom in China remains an elusive dream for its tens of millions of Christian adherents.
US: Christian Business Owners Face Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in Fines
The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries has found that Aaron and Melissa Klein, the Christian owners of a bakery in Portland, are guilty of violating the civil rights of a lesbian couple after refusing to bake a cake for their wedding. The Klein's refused on the basis of their Christian faith and now face possible fines. The Klein's have already moved their bakery out of its location and into their home after pro-LGBT groups targeted the business and its supplies with threats and intimidation. The Klein's children were also issued death threats at school.
Rights Organizations Demand Sri Lanka Protect Its Religious Minorities
In an open letter published in a popular Sri Lankan newspaper, human rights and religious organizations in Sri Lanka have called upon the government to protect religious minorities, including Christians. In 2013 alone, Christians in Sri Lanka have been attacked 103 times. Most of these attacks are perpetrated by Buddhist nationalist groups who believe religions other than Buddhism are foreign to Sri Lanka and are willing to commit acts of violence to protect what they believe is Sri Lanka's Buddhist heritage. Below is an excerpt from the open letter to the Sri Lankan government.
Attacks on Christians Rising in Two Indian States
According to a recent report released by the Catholic Secular Forum, attacks on Christians in two Indian states have been on the rise in 2013.

Christian Persecution Continues to Run Rampant in Nigeria
A large number of Christian villages across north and central Nigeria have reported attacks by Islamic extremist in January. According to some reports, as many as 15 Christians have been murdered in these attacks. Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist network operating in northern Nigeria, is though to be behind these attacks. Some attacks have been attributed to Muslim Fulani herdsmen, though many in Nigeria are beginning to suspect that Boko Haram is inciting these groups to attack Christians. Please pray for all Christians living in northern and central Nigeria.
