From bishop at tec-europe.org Sun Sep 6 19:31:01 2009 From: bishop at tec-europe.org (Bishop) Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2009 21:31:01 +0200 Subject: [Francophones] nouvelles et photo de Mgr Roger Chung Message-ID: <90A10D51-EC34-40C9-8127-4611462BB372@tec-europe.org> Mgrs. Pierre Whalon & Roger Chung visite à Aix-en-Provence 5 septembre 2009 Chers membres, chers amis, Je suis allé voir Mgr Roger Chung, évêque d'Antsiranana et sa femme Alice, accompagné par me femme, à Aix-en-Provence. Comme vous le savez, Mgr Roger a eu une attaque vasculaire cérébrale (AVC, CVA en anglais). Il est actuellement en réhabilitation. Son bras et sa jambe droits sont toujours affectés, quoique qu'il ait fait des progrès "formidables" d'après ses médecins. Mgr Roger me dit qu'il travaille avec acharnement pour récupérer ses forces et ses capacités. Ceux qui le connaissent savent très bien que cet homme possède une énergie hors pair, et puisqu'il se focalise complètement sur sa réhabilitation, nous avons bon espoir qu'il sera à 100% ou presque dans un proche avenir. Pourtant, ses médecins ne l'autorisent à rentrer en Île Maurice qu'à la fin octobre. Je travaille avec le conseiller pour les affaires religieuses au Ministère des Affaires Étrangères pour voir pour les frais médicaux. Priez pour la remise en forme de Mgr Roger, pour sa femme Alice et sa famille, et pour le diocèse d'Antsiranana. Et s'il vous plaît, n'oubliez jamais de prendre une assurance santé voyage. C'est peu d'argent en plus pour avoir la tranquillité.

Cette signature a clôt 12 ans de ratifications par d'autres États africains. Grâce au Burundi, l'Union africaine a pu finalement entériner une zone libre d'armes nucléaires sur le continent africain. Des cinq zones dans le monde établies, l'espace africain est le plus avancé. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trait%C3%A9_de_Pelindaba Mais ce qu'il faut savoir c'est que le gouvernement du Burundi ne l'a signé qu'après une visite d'une délégation ?cuménique menée par Sa Grâce, l'Archevêque de Burundi, Mgr Bernard Nhatoturi. Un grand bravo, donc, à Sa Grâce!
