FROM THE SECULAR PRESS

Compassion in action at Hiruharama (photo)
The directors of an acclaimed documentary of cross-cultural "compassion in action" will host a question and answer session with the audience after a screening in Arrowtown next Thursday. The pair from Deer Heart Films lived and filmed in Hiruharama, the Maori transliteration of Jerusalem, far up the Whanganui River, in 2010 and 2011.

Another hearing on chapel (photo)
The saga over the ornate Italian marble altar in the chapel at the former Teschemakers Catholic girls' boarding school south of Oamaru is going to be considered by the High Court, but it will not hear new factual evidence.

Pinoys help rebuild NZ city destroyed by earthquake
Manila, Philippines - Filipinos will play a key role in rebuilding a New Zealand city devastated by earthquakes, an example of growing ties between the two countries to be strengthened when President Aquino visits on Monday.

Rugby: Hansen's tearful farewell (photos)

ALL THINGS CATHOLIC, by John L. Allen Jr


A global crop of cardinals; Syria; Vatileaks; and possible popes
