Looks like it is nicely functional. One thing I noticed is that you are mixing pt and em for your font size... really is better to pick just one measurement system. Going along with this, take a look at your line-height in the nav... 1.4 what? renders differently depending on browser. Remember that the em is based on the particular font being used...
em: relative to the actual 'font-size' of the font being used
px: relative to the resolution of the viewers screen
pt: a fixed size for a printer (1 pt is about 1/72 inch)
%: percentage of the last used measurement in the cascade
... and all browsers are not created equal.
I checked in Firefox 3.5, Chromium (latest SVN), Opera 10, Konqueror 4.4, and Seamonkey (latest SVN) ... all using serif and sans serif fonts.

I love simple websites that load fast...this fits the bill nicely. Good use of css to give it some style. I'm most jazzed though because it loads so darn fast!
Only one minor functional issue: I am using FF3 and when I click the word Ministries the menu expands, but does not leave a way to contract it back. If, however, I click the + sign there is an associated - sign allowing me to minimize the menu.

I checked in Firefox 3.5, Chromium (latest SVN), Opera 10, Konqueror 4.4, and Seamonkey (latest SVN) ... all using serif and sans serif fonts.
The mixing of em and pt was deliberate: pt set the default size (notice I used it but once), and em adjusted the size based on context.
And line-height 1.4 has been changed to line-height:140%;

I'll admit that was deliberate. I thought if someone was viewing the ministries page, they'd want to see the submenu automatically. It didn't occur to me that they'd want to contract it. That has been fixed.
And something that would load relatively quickly on an utterly crap connection was my goal. I have never forgotten the days of dialup.
