We received the following request last week:

My name is Michael Doyle, and I am a high school teacher, and an Associate in a congregation of Brothers. I am putting together a handbook of justice and peace issues, and would like to include your web page from 2/23/99, "Justitia et Pax" in the U.S. Province. The book would be for the use of my students, and for discussion among the Brothers and Associates.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Michael Doyle

Editor's Note: The request was granted.
