Photos from the 2006 Coptic Orthodox Church Servants Convention for Eastern Canada are now available via the links below.

The Encyclical by H.H. Pope Benedict XVI, entitled "God is Love," and recommended by H.G. Bishop Serapion, can be downloaded from various sites; Catholic Online has an article linking to a copy here:

• Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical 'Deus Caritas Est' - PDF version Free from Catholic Online.

The actual PDF file is here:

The photos are formatted for the web using a utility called Picasa. When you click on the links below, a new browser window will open. The photos are in two archives:

• D100
• Sony

There are actually three group photos that were taken in sections, but people were moving around too much as the photos were being taken - so the D100 archive includes the various sections of each group photo (twelve photos in all; Can you find yourself?) The best of three group photos might be this one:

• Group Photo #3

Note that your browser will probably reduce the image to fit your screen. To see the faces more clearly, either save the image to your hard disk and use a picture viewer application to zoom in a bit, or, if your browser has a zoom feature, try it. Firefox allows you to simply click on the image to get it to return to its normal size (very, very wide.) Internet Explorer has a zoom button that appears when you hover your cursor over the image (in newer versions of I.E. only.)

Enjoy!
