Pax Christi, Peace of Christ, is a gospel-based lay-inspired, peacemaking movement. Founded in the Catholic Church, its membership is open to individuals, groups and organisations of all faiths who are in sympathy with its aims and values. It is affiliated to Pax Christi International. Pax Christi strives to help the Church and the wider community to proclaim and to make peace, through its experience and ideas, and especially through the witness and action of its members.

The three major objectives of Pax Christi are:

• reconciliation;
• the promotion of a culture of peace and nonviolence;
• providing the means to bring about peace, e.g. through peace education resources and training.

means equal chance for every child

Linked with Patricia Gaffney – England.

Comprehensive Future wants to see a comprehensive school system throughout England, with fair admissions criteria to all publicly funded schools, guaranteeing an equal chance to all children and an end to selection by ability and aptitude. We don’t have a fully comprehensive secondary school system in England. Many English children face selection for entry into secondary education. The 11plus still exists in about a quarter of English local authorities. Other schools are partially selective on ability. All schools can select 10% of their intake on aptitude for specific subjects.
