From todays Telegraph,female Oxford College Newnham has stopped their Latin Christian Grace and replaced it with a secular one to reflect their multicultural people.In Latin it is now ..

'Pro cibo inter esurrientes,pro comitate inter desalatos ,pro pace inter bellantes,gratias agimus'


or in English

'For food in a hungry world ,for companionship in a world of loneliness,for peace in an age of violence we give thanks'.
