Dear Friends at Buddhist Peace Fellowship,

I am writing to you on behalf of the Lay Committee on Contemporary 
Spiritual-&-Public Concerns (the "CSPC Committee") of St. Paul Parish, 
Cambridge. Our Committee was formed in May of 2005 and appears to be the 
first Roman Catholic lay committee of its kind in North America. As part 
of our Committee's mission, we seek to engage all sectors of the public 
in a dialogue that stresses both faith and reason. We emphasize dialogue 
and discernment, and create opportunities for the same by hosting a 
spect rum of speakers, lay and clerical, Catholic and non-Catholic, with 
professional lectures and penetrating discussions.

Our Committee is greatly honored to present this Sunday, March 11, at 
St. Paul's, one of the leading academics from the Tibetan community in 
Massachusetts, and the first Tibetan to be awarded a Ph.D. from Harvard, 
Dr. Lobsang Sangay. In his talk for the CSPC Committee, Dr. Sangay will 
explore whether the Irish /Good Friday Agreement /could be adopted as a 
model for the Tibetan people as they seek a way forward. This will be a 
historic talk, so we hope very much that your community can join us for 
this event.

Please find in the body of this emaiI an announcement for the lecture; 
and I have attached a press release, as well as a flyer, which you may 
post as you think appropriate. Please publicize this event to your 
community, and we will be very pleased to welcome you to join us for 
this presentation on Sunday.

If you could confirm back to me if you received this email and if it is 
possible for you to pass the announcement on to your community, that 
would be very helpful to our outreach effort for this program.

Thank you very much,

Angela Jones

Vice President, the CSPC Committee

*_Tibetan Diplomat Speaks at _**_St. Paul_**_ _**_Church_**_, 
_**_Harvard Square_**_: “A Good Friday Agreement for _**_Tibet_**_?”_*

__

St. Paul’s CSPC Committee is privileged to present a Cambridge based 
diplomat-scholar who has peformed notable work for the Tibetan 
Government in Exile, Dr. Lobsang Sangay. He will speak in DiGiovanni 
Hall, 29 Mount Auburn Street, on Sunday, March 11, at 3:30 P.M., with 
questions and a reception to follow. Dr. Sangay, originally a graduate 
of the Tibetan Refugee School, is the first Tibetan to receive a 
doctorate from Harvard; he has been consulted by the BBC, the /Boston 
Globe,/ the /Wall Street Journal,/ the /Washington Post,/ etc. For 
eleven years, Dr. Sangay has been organizing conferences between Chinese 
and Tibetan scholars, including an unprecedented conference with the 
Dalai Lama at Harvard in 2003. Now, in an equally unprecedented move, 
Dr. Sangay will ask whether the future of the Tibetan people might best 
be assured by adopting the Irish /Good Friday Agreement/ as a model. 
This is an historic talk! Plan to be there on the 11^th ! Also mark your 
calendars for Saturday evening, April 21^st , when CSPC presents the 
preeminent Catholic global negotiator, Rev. Raymond Helmick S.J. from 
Boston College.
