Writing of migration -one of the most complex and dramatic events in his tory" Pope John Paul says the topic "merits all our attention "It is cause of much anxiety "Recently, in fact, migration has frequently taken on the in-human aspect of persecution, be it political, religious, ideological or ethnic." "This impresses its stigma on the faces of the refugees, the deportees, the exiles men and women, young and old, even children, often tragically deprived of their parents."

John Paul II The pope say however it is 'a matter of great consolation the Church is wide awake' to the problems of 1mmgration It is able to propose solu tions. 'above ll, conditions in which to create an environment characterised by respect for the fundamental rights of man 'It is only in such an environment our brothers and sisters will succeed, less painfully, in overcoming the drama of integration "It is too often a traumatic for them experience because of their natural reserve, problems of adapting and the fact they are faced with a society at times hostile, narrow-minded and intolerant towards those considered different, or likely to cause social or economic discomfort

A last minute dash to finish buildings and an odd patch of loose sand are not daunting Christian Brother Bil Woodrtt in his new assignment. Prendiville College Ocean Reef, of which he is the new principal, will open with four streams of Year 8 on Wednesday, February 5. There are still a few places available and it is a rare opportunity for youngsters who have not been able to get a Catholic education in the primary schools, Brother Woodruff said this week. "Many children have not been able to get into Liwara at Haqersley.

Whitfords Catholic Primary has had only one stream up until this year, while Padbury Catholic school is only into its second year of operation.

"Prendiville College is offering Catholic education immediately to many

who otherwise would have not had the opportunity.br many years to

come "A good number of our enrolments are children who have had to attend state schools for their primary education The development of the Ocean Reef college is not following the usual pattern of trai ing in the wake of Catholic primary schools in the area. Instead itwill grow parallel to the developing northern corridor schools and ahead of schools yet to be built at Ocean Reef and Woodvale.

, Bulgars deny

While the horrifying image of the fireball in which seven astronauts went to their death this week can add no more to the finality of death of any individual neither does the sheer enonnity of the incident allow them even the glimmer of privacy into which human grief needs to retreat. Starting with the photograph of the happy smiling team walking confidently to their spacecraft a drama becomes replayed endlessly in ever increasing slow motion as questions, comments, surmises, enquiries, debates, judgements, projections and summaries are swept into a pall of global shock and universal grieving. No one who is not blind or deaf can escape the avalanche of reportage that emanates from these and similar disasters with the result that the loss of human life becomes but the pivot around which far greater issues now swirl. Firstly, the cause in which but a few so far have meant violent ends - far fewer than in hundreds of other daity disasters is the very industry of satellite communication dedicated to producing yet an even greater avalanche of instant news coverage across the globe. The countries, and not merely the United States, committed to increasing space programmes put a premiuim on the technology required and are determined, as is Australia, to bring about the far reaching social changes which are forecast for the decades and even centuries to come. In such a climate the risk that any of the participants takes is the price to pay. For some a financial reward is seen to make the risk worthwhile as instanced in the death of a highly paid oil rig worker who lost his life in the Gulf war recently. For others, such as the school teacher on this latest space mission, the excitement of the challenge was in itself a reward. The moralist can only deal with part of the problem; a needless, foolhardy risk of one's life and neglect of even elementary safety ought to be condemned. But who can put a limit on the human beings who across the centuries have scaled heights of physical endurance, personal fatigue and outright bravery to give us many of the advantages we take for granted today? Secondly, this week's tragedy only heightens the critical gap in First World news domination that already worries the other half of mankind struggling to be heard. The space shuttle disaster and any of a dozen similar burnings, bombings, smashes or similar tragedies is nothing to the bloody trail that has led from one end of Uganda to the other endlessly for years with only guesses at the hundreds of thousands brutally murdered in civil and tribal war. In up to another dozen African countries, and not just the South African crisis suddenly looming on to the television screens, the same brutality against human life rages, but these are not the news stories dominating the countries that have the major television viewing audiences of which we in Austrlia are just a fraction. The ever expanding news and other satellite networks and the increasing concentration of news outletsin the hands of powerful media monopolies will make it harder for the poor and slow runners to be heard. The global audiences that can be tapped for mass sport and entertainment are wonying examples of the forces that can manipulate for good or evil. The golden calf may yet tum out to be a square box with a plastic face. Lastly, the sad loss of this week's heroes is only one more chapter in the soaring aspirations of the human brain, reaching not just out to a stationary orbit but to the very infinity of the universe itself. Faith thrives on the excitement of not knowing everything. Christians can be in the forefront of today's scientific exploits, probing the deeper truths that have stirred since the earliest human ever scanned a starry sky. Christians ought to have much to say about death, even in the fiery end of human achievement.

SOFIA, (NC) -Two Bulgarians charged with

complicity in the 1981 shooting of Pope John

Paul II have told an Italian court that they had nothing to do with the attack.

Todor Ayvazov, a cashier at the Bulgarian Embassy in Rome at the time of the shooting, and Jelio Vassilev, former secretary to the embassy's military attache, both denied ever having met Turkish terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca. Agca, serving a life sentence in Italy for the shooting has told investigators Ayvazov and Vassilev were figures in an international plot behind the shooting. Most of the case against them and four other defendants charged with complicity in the shooting is based on what Agca has told investigators. Agca's credibility was bolstered when he apparently accurately described the Bulgarians to investigators. During the trial, however the two men stood side by side to illustrate that, contrary to what Agca said, Vassilev is considerably shorter than

They also want the Church to be a community in which there are no barriers between bishops, priests and laypeople. "There is a need for young people to be taught about the doctrines of the Church, but the method used needs to be revised and involve practical application as well as making use of relevant life experiences. Religion needs to be taught as a way of life," the report says. Bishop Rawsthorne, auxiliary in Liverpool and chairman of the Committee for Adult Education, said: "I certainly agree that young people should come out of school with good factual knowledge of the Church. ·The problem is that it's not until they meet up with people who attack their faith that they find the motivation to want to know about it. ·Thus the need for adult continuing education is very important," he said. Answering criticism of religious education contained in the report, Miss Clare Gooden, 24, chairwoman of the NCYA, said: "Schooling is too geared to passing exams, and young people are not given the knowledge to defend their faith." "·What's needed is a basic catechesis to give them moral understand-

Rock

ROME: Rock and pop music shoud be excluded from liturgical use not for aesthetic reasons, but for reasons of fundamental principle, said Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Doctrinal Congregation. He accused rock and pop of offering a redemption and liberation that were in contradiction to the Chnstian concepts. Since rock sought

redemption through "Tibera-

tion from the personality

and from its responsibility", it was fundamentally opposed to the Christian idea of redemption and

freedom, he said.

It means celebrating 20 Masses every Saturday night and Sunday. Father Sebastian gets up at 4.30am every day for prayer and study.

He hears confessions, offers Mass, interviews couples planning to marry, receives visitors and gives advice.

The rest of the day is spent on baptisms, house blessings, and visits to the poor. The 20 weekend Masses include seven in a row: That means standing for seven straight hours," he said

John Paul II prepares for India tour VATICAN CITY: As Pope John Paul prepared for his trip to India which began Friday, he praised India's spiritual tradition and said he hoped the visit would strengthen ties between that country and the Holy See.

The pope referred to "the particular bonds which exist between the Holy See and India," where "Christianity has been at home since the earliest Christian era." "I pray that my forthcoming visit may further deepen these bonds and make clear my heartfelt respect for the spiritual traditions which so characterise your nation's history," he said.

India and the Vatican share the same concerns for "international peace, disarmament and the proper use of the world's resources," he told India's new ambassador to the Vatican, Ashoke Sen Chib.

He said he was preparing for his first visit to

develop, he said. In a brief speech to the pope, the new ambassador described Indians as "deeply religious by nature." "The official policy of secularism followed by the government does not represent any kind of apathy toward religious beliefs, but rather gives equal and impartial importance to all the religions represented in India," he said. "As aptly summed up by the father of the nation,

During his trip, Pope Paul praised Indians as a "great and noble people" who worked untiringly for peace. Pope John Paul said India remains a spokesman for peace in internati on a I forums. The Church too, believes "dialogue must take the place of confrontations" in order for world peace to

Mixed with Indian traditions Through inculturation, the Church has emphasised Christian prayer, blending it with India's traditions of meditation and asceticism, churchmen said. This has helped the Church shed its "forcigner" image. said Archbishop Simon Pimenta of Bombay, president of the Indian bishops' conference. "We are a Church in transition. toward adopting local cultural values and toward the "Indianisation" of the Church. It's a long and painful process," he said. The painful part was, the movement was viewed with suspicion, not only by the Hindu majority, which fears conversions, but by Catholics who resist change. "They say, "Your're making us Hindus again," Archbishop Pimenta said

Prayers

'blend'

Indian liturgies have adopted local languages, complex traditional dances, burning of incense and the priest's wearing of the traditional Hindu saffron shawl. The bishops of India have been divided over some of the modifications. In 1975, for example, they ended all unauthorised experiments and prohibited readings from non-biblical scriptures in the liturgy. The readings, from such Hindu books as the Upanishads, had become popular in many churches.

But much of the inculturation is happening outside the Churches, in smaller houses of prayer know as "ashrams." In Hindu tradition, an ashram is where a resident guru meets with disciples. Catholic ashrams are open to all faiths, and the main activity is shared prayer and meditation. Critics say the ashram is part of the India Church's "Hinduisation," but most Church leaders see it as a necessary cultural bridge. "Many of the Hindu practices are adopted yoga, diet, meditation.

NEW DELHI: Pope John Paul II this wee visits India where z Catholic minority is

Pope John Paul II is expected to meet with Anglican Archbishop Robert Runcie of Centerbury, England, during his trip to India. The pope probably also will meet with the Dalai Lama, the religious leader of Tibetan Buddhists. The Dalai Lama was political leader of Tibet until Chinese troops invaded in 1959 The Dalai Lama and 100,000 Tibetans fled to India, where they have lived in exile. It will be the third meeting between the pope and

Archbishop Runcie. Their first meeting occurred by chance in Ghana in 1980, whe both were making separate African trips. They met again during the pope's trip to Englan in 1982 and participated in a joint praye service in Canterbury Cathedral. The Dalai Lama and Pope John Paul II met in 1980 and 1982, both times at the Vatican After his 1982 audience with the pope, the Tibetan leader said he had "rediscovered an old friend" in Pope John Paul.

Seven reasons why decent people should throw out the Burke Government THE BURKE GOVERNMENT HAS: 1. Pornography

Legalised hard core pornography by amending the Indecent Publication and Articles Act which from January 1st 1984 permitted the restricted sale of some of the worst pornography the world has produced. In 1984 and 1985 over 5,000 despicable publications have been approved for sale or hire. About 500 video tapes which are equally as bad have been approved. Pornography incites rape. In the 1960's the number of rapes was 6 a year. in 1985 the number had increased to 195 a year.

2. Homosexuality

Supported the Bill to legalise homosexual acts between men. This Bill was voted for by all ALP members of the Legislative Council but was defeated. The ALP has said that it will reintroduce legislation to legalise homosexualit. It has given funds to gay organisations and has appointed a homosexual to the committee on A.I.D.S. Another two cases of A.I.D.S. have been reported in January.

3. Gambling and Crime

Permitted the establishment of a gambling monstrosity the casino on Burswood Island. This will be patronised mainly by Western Australians not tourists. All will lose and families will suffer. Criminal elements will prosper and dirty money will be laundered.

4. Abortion

Turned a blind eye to thousands of illegal abortions being performed at private clinics and hospitals.

5. Prostitution and Striptease

Legalised obscene striptease acts in hotels and condoned widespread blatant and well-publicised prostitution. An examination of advertising in the daily and weekend press will confirm this. The young women of our State are being used. abused and degraded.

6. Militant Feminists

Given special favours and massive financial assistance to the militant feminists movement by creating expensive government instrumentalities and funding other bodies. The militant feminist want to destroy the traditional family.

7. Youth Employment

Has deliberately discriminated against youth in Government employment in favour of middle aged women at a time when youth employment was as high as 25%. Only 5.4% of the huge Public Service were under 21. In the past it was as high as 22%. At June 30th 1985 there were only twenty one 17 year old boys in a Public Service of 14.614. This is a social and moral scandal.

If the Burke Government is returned ...

its programmes which have contributed to tearing down moral standards will continue at a more devastating rate. It will clearly demonstrate to the Labor Party that the people of W.A. do not care about laws that affect morality. They will feel free to do what they like and our society will be damaged beyond repair.

eventually returned televi-

sion to our home!) Given my assumption at the time that television contributed little to learning in the home, it was somewhat

surprising to find myself working in a TV studio in the early "70s. An educational station hired me to design an adult-education program titled "Talk Back to Your Television" The program involved an experiment. How could tel evision be used, in a moreor-less organised way, as a learning tool? Obviously television often influences people. But education as I

mean it here brings lasting change in people's behavour Could television serve in that kind of educational process - and aid people in the ongoing exploration of life's meaning? I felt strongly that for adults to truly learn in this way, they must be as fully cngaged in the process as

possible. a

So my first step was to host conference bringing

together representatives of major community organisations to tell what they thought would be most helpful for adult viewing audiences The second key step was to build what we called "view. ing groups" For example, if the topic of a program was nutrition, we tried to arrange for groups of ordinary people to meet with nutrition experts. Together

The biblical media By

Father John Castelot ., One could easily get the idea that the only books the Jews and early Christians had to fill their lives were those of the Bible. The invention of printing was a long way off, writing materials were expensive and, anyway, relatively few people could read or write. The Greeks and Romans

had their poets and play-

wrights, but few Jews or

Christians read them However, recent discoveries focus attention on an

amazingly rich and diverse literature which flourished from the second century BC. to the second century AD. Some of it came from Jewish circles, some from

Christians, some in the form it came down to us from Jewish authors later edited by Christians A recent edition of these books contains 52 compositions. They include works purported to be revelations made to great figures of

antiquity. They were of the "now it can be told" type They pretended to reveal secrets of the heavenly world and of the end of the present world. Written at a time of persecution, insecurity and anx iety, they offered assurances of God's ultimate victory over evil. They were the products of lively imagina tions. Most of all, the works satisfied the popular thirst for information about the unseen world and the future People always have been insatiably curious about such things; they still are. Witness the astonishing popularity of Hal Lindsey's "The Late, Great Planet Earth" In this book, he lays out the whole future course of human history in minute detail A favourite theme of the literature was the origin of sin Some authors worked out of the Adam and Eve story but embellished it so as to emphasise Eve's guilt This led to a general depreciation of women as the cause of all human ills On the contrary, the author of "4 Ezra", a popular non biblical work of the time, shifted the blame to Adam There was in the Bible's Genesis, Chapter 6, another explanation of the origin of sin in humanity. It was that reference to the 'sons of God" who married "the

8 The Record, January 30, 1986

daughters of men." The biblical author adapted an ancient story here, not to teach all its details literally, but to help people understand the growing estrangement of humanity from God But some authors of apocalyptic works, notably those who wrote the non-biblical books titled "I Enoch" and II Enoch," proceeded to

develop the Genesis account very imaginatively The author of "I Enoch" portrayed the offspring of this union in Genesis 6 as giants who wrought all sorts of havoc on earth. They corrupted the people by instructing them in forbidden sciences like making arms, cosmetics and precious metals

they would view our program and talk about it But the experiment was only moderately successful

Why? For one thing. the ewing groups were temporary: Once the program was over, so was the viewing group. There was no opportunity to reinforce what was learned, question the information, lend ongoing support to learners. This is education's human factor It means that one who learns is not merely a passive party. It suggests that the learner the viewer must actively participate in the educational process What happens if this human factor is slighted? As I moved from behindthe-scenes programming to on-the-air production, more discoveries awaited me. Tel evision - even educational television is an action medium, and often its action takes the form of conflict This meant finding issues of potential conflict that might

I Education Brief I

Have you see a TV program in the last two weeks that was so amusing, or so informative, or that so angered you that you later felt compelled to talk about it with friends or co-workers? Can you recall a movie that delivered a message with such force that you laterfoundyourself talkmng it over at home or in the neighbourhood? Chances are the answer to both questions is yes. Television, after all, is part of life's daily fare for an awfully lot of people. And with the advent of the videocassette recorder, it appears tbat movies are becoming more and

more a part of the ordinary bome's atmos-

phere.

Television and movies are absorbing experiences -- in more ways than one. Almost tbrough a process of osmosis, viewers can absorb ideas and messages projected from the screen about the worid and its people. Or viewers can be absorbed into the world as it appears on the screen, feeling --for better or worse - a part of it all The process taking place touches the viewer directly. Yet with all the emphasis in society on televisions and movies, on actors and actresses, or

on the messages produc ers and directors want to communicate, viewers can seem almost incidental Isn't the viewer meant to be passive: sitting, watching, listening? Talking about television shows and movies is one way of becoming more actively involved with wbat you view. In part, this is wbat is meant wben experts speak of "media awareness" or "media literacy" They want people to bring their own fudgement to bear on tbe value systems, lifestyles and attitudes encoun tered on the screen But when?

Such media events can be considered simply an evening's entertainment, to be for the enjoyed moment and then forgotten. At the same time, I like to think that they can serve another purpose. They can open doors into other countries and cultures. The media can whet our appetite to learn more about the others who inhabit our world. Sometimes, television and movies bring home to me how many problems and joys and interests are shared, whether people live in Australia, Africa or Asia.

Pope's note on migrants From page 1 ".. Any attempt to accelerate or delay integration of immigrants ... can ony suffocate or compromise that desirable plurality of voices which arises from the right the migrant faithful have to integration in every particular Church." Making the Church felt in their daily lives through liturgies in their own languages, respecting their legitimate customs, as well as personal visits, will make migrants feel understood and will encourage them in their relations with wider community. The Australian bishops, in their Immigration Sunday statement, make a strong attack on racism -- "of its very nature, a threat to the

fellowship and harmony that should characterise the great diversity of the family of God." They recall the scriptural injunction to "welcome the stranger who comes among you", describing it as "this fundamental law of justice and charity, the very pith and kernel of the social order, that prompts our strong condemnation of racism. "Prejudices and antipathies which create opposition to migrants and migration are unworthy of thinking people. "AII men have a right to the Earth, to employment and to a place to live with dignity and security. "Let us be willing to share with others what we have in this country in a truly Christian spirit."

from D.H. McCORMACK, Ardross Michael Whitley's so-called explanation of ACR's relationship with the publication in Australia of the New Internatronalist fails to address any one of the serious moral issues detailed by John L Doherty (Record, January 5). Mr Whiteley's generalisation "ACR believes the New Internationalist should be read by people who are genuinely interested in development" is a frightening excuse for the abuse of funds donated by caring parishioners throughout Australia. Not a single cent of this money should be channelled to provide a platform for proponents of alternative life

styles which undermine traditional Christian values. Until ACR withdraws its financial support from New Internationalist Publications Pty Ltd., may I recommend concerned donors to Project Compassion make it a condition of their gift ACR be excluded from participation in the administration of this fund. There are, thank God, a vast number of truly Christian projects which are dedicated to the care of the poor, the aged, and the underprivileged. There may be merit in directing our lenten donations to a specific and acceptable caring organisation.

from P.F. MOHR, Carey Park Sir, I wish to express my humble praise of your Editorial (The Record November 28} commenting on the views expressed by one lta Buttrose (but which are unknown to me). On page nine of the same issue and apparently emanating from Vatican II is the following direction: "Preaching the Gospel to those who have not heard it is 'the greatest and holiest work of the Church'."

from RR.K. O'CONNOR, Nedlands. Mr Dorgan (The Record December 19) information officer for Australian Catholic Relief attempted to justify the distribution of Project Compassion funds to the Catholrc Commission for Justice and Peace. He destroyed the very case he was trying to make when he said: 'The CCJP's funding does not come under ACR's jurisdiction. The Australian bishops have nonetheless decided to use Project Compassion funds for CCJP." The bishops should decide as early as possible that in future no Project Compassion funds will be distributed for the benefit of the CCJP and that decision should be publicised.

William (Bill) Patrick Donovan was born at Bunbury on July 6, 1888, and received his education at the state school there mainly under the tutelage of an old-time dominie he remembers as Mr Paisley (no relation of the reverend Ian of Northern Ireland fame). As a lad of 16 he sailed from Bunbury to England as a steward's off-sider aboard the cargo steamer, Trowbridge at the start of a sea-going career that was to see him rise to chief steward in ships voyaging between various parts of the world. He served abroad with the Alf in World War I, and was a hand in a fruit case factory at Pemberton, a conductor on the trams in Perth, caretaker of Lieutenant-General Gordon Bennett's Perth home in World War II, proprietor of a mixed business in Mt Lawley and long-time resident of Kalgoorlie. Bill and his wife Milicent (nee Lenders) recently celebrated the 70th anniversary of their wedding in St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney. Among the congratulatory telegrams they received at the Glendalough home of the Little Sisters of the Poor where they have lived since 1984 were those from the Queen, the GovernorGeneral, the State Governor, the Premier, the Leader of the Opposition and Hazel and Bob Hawke. Bill and Milicent have three sons - William, Gerald and Keith 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

The trepidation numbered among the lad's mixed feelings was soon to prove groundless as the ship's crew adopted a fatherly attitude towards him, but there was still the tug of leaving his Sunbury hearth and home to venture for the first time into the big outside world. It was world of which he was destined to see quite a lot as a steward and chief steward on ships sailing between various parts of the globe and as an Al F soldier in World War I. The initial voyage aboard the Trowbridge, which he left in England, proved several things to him. Life on the bounding main was right up his alley and he did not get sea-sick, a malady from which he was to be immune for the rest of his career. Bill made Sydney his headquarters when he returned to Australia and got a job as a steward in the second-class section of the passenger liner Makura sailing regularly between the NSW capital and Vancouver in British Columbia. His soon proficiency became evident and he was promoted to the ship's firstclass section, an elevation that turned out to be merely a step on his way to becoming chief steward. There was a lot of responsibility in the new role, but among its enjoyable facets was going ashore in foreign ports to order the ship's catering stores. Shortly after the outbreak of World War I, he tried to enlrst in Sydney in the AIF but was knocked back on medical grounds. He took his disappointment to sea where he continued to nurture enlistment ambitions, a process that finally led to his returning to his Sunbury birth place. There he received more sympathetic medical consideration. Before long he was in Blackboy Hill camp and became a reinforcement for the 51st

But Bill never made the trip across the Channel. On Salrsbury Plain medical problems cropped up again and he was sent to Australia. In compliance with the practice of the time, he was still under the control of the army which directed him to a job in a fruit case factory at Pemberton where he worked for about six months until he was freed from the military grip. In Perth he sought employment as a tram conductor but was told brusquely by the official to whom he spoke that there were no vacancies. As ever, however, there were wheels within wheels (a thought that might have occurred to some shaken tram passengers). Bill immediately received good advice from another quarter to approach some politician named Mitchell to see what could be done. This he did and the polly gave him a note to take straight back to the official who had earlier rebuffed him. The tramways fellow read the note, look up somewhat disgruntled, and said: "You can start now if you like." Jimmy Mitchell packed quite a punch as Premier of

WA.

Split shifts and battling through standing peak-hour crowds to collect fares on the swaying bogey trams had little appeal for him and he quit after a few months. He retains a memory from the job of what artful dodgers some of passengers were. In those days the half-crown coin (two shillings and six-

India is structural. ·The Catholic Church in India has not highlighted this because of its minority status. "It doesn't want to be seen as a complainer," he said "We would rather give a witness of justice to people who are poor, and arouse consciences." In addition to social awareness, some believe the Church in India needs to further emphasise individual spiritual development. "Our fundamental commitment is to have more prayer among the poor," said Franciscan Father Gualberto Gismondi, who is in charge of missions for his order." "If you underline the social problems too much, Indians will admire you, but do not accept you as a religious person."

Three rites have developed in Kerala, where the pope will make four stops The oldest rite is the SyroMalabar ( Chaldean ) church. The pope will beatify a Malabarese nun and priest during a Mass at Kottayam. Kerala Catholics are preparing for the visit by fasting and other exercises of selfdenial, Church officials said. Meanwhile in the northern Assam state where Catholicism is less than 100 years old, the Church is preparing for the pope's visit to Shillong, a resort centre in the region's tribal hills Local Catholics plan cultural dances and songs as part of their welcome for the pope, whom they have described in leaflets as having "a warm heart of friendliness." Another major encounter is the meeting with young people in Bombay Those interviewed said the pope's personal charisma and spirituality will be a key to his welcome bv the entire nation "Indians have a great respect for the holy man, so I think this pope will get a great reception there," Father Connolly said

Father Joseph Connolly, vice general of the Divine Word missionary order, said "A big complaint Hindus have is that, while they see the social work of the Church as good, they really don't see the Church produces men of sanctity." The Church and Indian government have battled over birth control, sterilisation and abortion in recent years. Faced with a population that has more than doubled in the last 335 years, the government still promotes birth control and allows abortion, but the forced sterilisations of the late 1970's have disappeared, Church sources said. One positive result of the sterilisation campaign was the Church developed a strong natural family planning program in response, Father Volken said

Indian authorities have promised strict security for the trip. Some extremist Hindu leaders have sharply criticised the visit, saying it would "accelerate" conversions among tribal peoples and members of the lower Indian classes In several states, "anticonversion" laws prohibit the Church from active evangelising. To protect themselves, priests sometimes ask converts to sign a statement saying they have adopted the faith under no coercion The conversion issue is still a sore spot in Church-State relations, the sources said. but the general situation has improved under Prime Min ister Rajiv Gandhi, who suc

Youth-to -youth...

By the end of the weekend we want them to have expe rienced the Catholic Church

as Jesus Christ living amongst a loved community - his believers We ask them t make. if possible, a commitment in some specific small ea as a practical way towards their involvement and belonging to the Church The follow-up to the week end is basically to try ud live out that sense of belonging to the Church

centred community s« we ask the young people to be involved in both Eucharist and community

One of the features of Antioch groups is that they like to come together for mid week Mass • The main structured gathering is a prayer meet ing, usually on a Sunday night, and at that meeting there is generally a short

talk, discussion and shared prayers The talk may centre on some aspect of human relationships in the light of a gospel passage and the group is invited to reflect on that in the light of family friends and God nitely inspire. But if rock isn't your scene, maybe you'll enjoy "Hymn', which is poetic and peaceful - shades of Psalm 23, or the easy listening of "I Could Never Say Goodbye". looking at the album cover, it appears that Randy has enlisted the talents of the cream of the Christian music industry to provide this musical tastebud tickler.

The album also makes a statement on the plight of those in third world countries in "Judgement Day", a song inspired by the work of Compassion International.

• Antioch is a parish-based movement that has spread around the country over the past four years • It is a vouth to vouth

ministry, and this is a key to the wav it functions By youth-to-youth I mean thev minister to their own age group For instance, I would not longer dream of giving a talk to an Antioch group, or at an Antioch prayer meeting, because I am too old My experiences as a 25 year-old post-graduate student are really not all that relatable to a 17 or 18 yearold high school student facing HSC or Matriculation. What we do is take them in their daily lives with their friends and peers, and let them minister to each other. People my age are certainly there, but it's always in a guiding or background role • Antioch regards young people as Church -the Church of today, not the Church ot tomorrow. They are not just our future Church, they are a very real part of today's Church and ' have a very real role in that Church. In terms of leadership and faith development, they aren't there as a nice extra waiting in the background. They really have a contribution to make to the faith development of their peers, to younger people and to adults -- right now. • Antioch recognises the importance of responsibility - young people need to feel that they have real responsibility in the Church They need to be given responsibility in order to become involved in the Church No one likes to be some where or do something where they don't feel they are contributing Antioch sees young people as necessary for the well-

Lucy Jane At The Ballet, by Susan Hampsbire, illustrations by Vanessa Julian-Otie, published by Wiliam Colins, $12.95. Lucy Jane is not at all amused when her father leaves her at Covent Garden's Theatre Royal with Aunt Sarah, the theatre's wardrobe mistress, to stay while her mother is in hospital. She has no idea of the excitements in store for her. In fact she seizes the very first opportunity to take flight. Running down a corridor and through a heavy door, she finds herself in an enormous black space. A wave of laughter greets her -- Lucy Jane is on stage in mid-performance. Luckily the prima ballerina is amused rather than appalled and takes the little girl under her wing. Lucy Jane learns to dance with her and learns, too, all about the theatre. Then one glorious day she is chosen as understudy for a small part in The Nutcracker. The premiere is to be performed that Christmas before the Royal Family! But on the day of the performance something dreadful happens ... Lucy Jane at the Ballet will be adored by all small girls (around 7-11 years old) who love to dance or just love a good story. This is actress Susan Hampshire's first book for children. Her training as a classical ballet dancer from the age of three to fifteen brings exciting life to the background of her story. Many of the incidents in the novel actually occurred and her knowledge of the theatre supplies a tantalising view of backstage life. Through the author, illustrator Vanessa Julien-Ottie had the full cooperation of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, so the enchanting pictures throughout the book are accurate as well as atmospheric.

UORD puzzle

Jean Donovan grew up in a suburb where her parents loved her and gave her everything she needed. She loved life and had many interests. She studied hard and did well in school. She liked to have fun with her friends. She especially liked to ride horses. When she grew up, Jean was very successful. She had a good job. She had her own apartment, a car, a motorcycle and nice clothes. She travelled to other countries. She had a boyfriend. More and more Jean felt her life was missing something important. She had she everything needed, but slowly Jean came to realise that many people had much less. Jean began to feel Christ calling her to do more for people in need. She decided to do volunteer work on church projects. She found this satisfying, but still felt called to do more. One day she read a story about El Salvador, a country in Central America where

people suffered from terrible poverty. They had little food, no decent places to live, few jobs and poor pay. They also feared for their lives in a land experiencing great violence and warfare. Jean learned that volunteers were needed to work with the peasants. She knew she would not have many things there that she took for granted in Cleveland. Her family and friends warned her of the dangers. But she volunteered and went to Central America.

ODO What Jean saw in El Salvador was worse than she had imagined. She had never seen men, women and children so poor. She found it very hard to live in poverty with them. She felt sad that so many had given up hope. Jean worked with some American Sisters who had been in El Salvador for a while. Together they did

They learned that two of Jean's friends were killed right outside the place where she lived. But Jean felt Christ wanted her to stay with the poor in El Salvador. She remembered how Jesus gave his whole life to help suffering people. So she stayed. Jean Donavon and the Sister she worked with were shot to death on December 2, 1980. She was only 27 years old.

Travel pot boils merrily

On The Shores Of The Mediterranean, by Eric Newby, published by Picador, $10.95. Reviewed by Father T.P. Boland in the Catholic Leader, Brisbane.

Travel writing is a genre of literature which has its own classics. Belloc's famous The Path to Rome and Dr Johnson's Tour of the Highlands are outstanding examples In our time Eric Newby has

added to the list with his A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush, Slowly Down the Ganges and Love and War in the Appenines This is more of a pot boiler than a classic, but the pot boils merrily and Newby's skill produces a good brew. Considering some of the exotic and, at times, revolting meals he eats in the course of his circumambulation of the Mediterranean. it may be more accurate to sa

Reflections

No Turning Back, by Brian 8. Grenier, St Paul Publications,

$6.50.

No Turning Back is a col lection of brief reflections on the Christian adventure for people who find that their daily lives leave them less time for reading and prayerful meditation than they would dearly like to have. In writing which is both colourful and insightful, the

author addresses a wide range of issues of interest to the contemporary Christian friendship, prayer, waiting on the Lord, courage, compassion, the spirit of forgiveness, peacemaking. perseverance in the Lord's Service the Church and its critics storytelling conscientious objection spectatoritis' etc This bite-sized miscellany should whet the spiritual of appetite parents teachers, pastors, and all Christians whose aspiration is to be 'strong enough to provide coming generations with reasons for living and hoping.

that he serves an interesting stew. The author is at his best when relating the impressions of earlier travellers to experience of a country today. His sharp eye notes the continuities and the changes. It records as well the human comedy in all its guises. His Naples is the home of the old man sitting on the footpath, watching the folly of traffic lights attempting to control the ebullient Neopolitan individualism at the wheel. The red light, he says is for chaos; but the orange? L'arancio e per lallegria the orange is for the fun of the thing It is the city of teeming industrial suburbs, without a police presence, where the local vigilantes are led by the bishop as the sole defence against the new Camorra Nowhere else would vou see the patriarch pushing an old perambulator around the restaurants at night selling nougat with a sign on the side giving the after hours telephone number, in case you felt a sudden pas sion for nougat in the small hours of the morning. It also advises that this establish ment is closed all dav Monda The theory of the book is that Newby and his wife Wanda, start a journey in Naples and then head east then south, west, north and east again to traverse the classic shores of the Roman Mare Nostrum. He finishes off back in Ital His tongue is in his cheek if there is any suggestion that this is how he travelled. This is fortunate. since otherwise

we might have missed the first stopping place in the book, the Tuscan villa where the vendemmia, the gathering of grapes, is in progress. It is Newby's own villa, and his love of the warm earth, spicy cooking and rough wine reveals an Italy that the package tours advertise in posters but never visit. There is nothing there to discount. Some reviewers in the quality papers, too, had tongue in cheek as they hailed Newby as the new Ulysses and the book a new Odyssey They

it, when one considers his unhappy experience of the women of Herod's household. This reviewer once treasured a gruesome postcard of the relic, but he gave it away to a Roman friend who wanted to do a mathematical study of the anatomy of the Baptist as revealed in the contents of his shrines Sadly, he rejected the theory that one of the heads was

The book is concerned with Christian involvement in revolutionarv movements in Nicaragua, EI Salvador and Guatemala, a phenomenon the author believes is unprecedented, since traditionally the churches have opposed or only reluctantly submitted to revolutionary governments After a brief history of Latin and Central America, a major part of the work presents a detailed account of Christian involvement in the pre-revolutionary processes in the three countries, along with a history of the postrevolutionary struggle in Nicaragua which continues up to no I found this to be a very valuable contribution for a more profound understand

He also brought the fruits of intensive research into articles and books, mostly in Spanish and not readily available in this country The author summarises this vast panorama of contemporary history in a short chapter 'Christians in Struggle: Parallels and Contrasts" Here he first analyses 10 stages in the revolutionary process in the three countries, pointing out many similarities and some key differences This is followed by a comparative analysis of the role of the church in the above movements, this time in 13

The families of Christian Brother jubilarians Brothers Ben Doyle and Con Grant got significant mention at celebrations at Aquinas College on Monday night. "Ben was 15 when he left home and Con was but 13 (God help us!) but that was the old Church!" said Brother Pat Mohen in his toast address. 'They left close-knit families and headed out into the unknown at a time when the average person did not travel. "One wonders just what gut reaction. must have been hidden - as it was beneath the joviality and wonderment of such a trip - not just for Con and Ben, but for the steady stream of youngsters who followed them year after year. 'These two men have given their lives to the Lord. They have lived those lives to the full in good times and bad. 'They have endeavoured to make the Kingdom a reality and we wish them a future filled with peace happiness and benediction," Brother Mohen concluded. Brother Doyle is the eldest of the six sons of the late Edmund Doyle and Mrs Lucy Doyle, now at Nazareth House and who was present at Monday night's Mass. Another son also entered the Christian Brothers, a further son is parish priest of Willetton and the only daughter, Margaret entered the Sisters of Mercy and died some 12 years ago. Brother Con Grant is the second of the three children of the late Edward and Ellen Grant of Northam. Father Tom Grant is chaplain at lona College and Sister Gemma is provincial superior of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition.

Brother Stephen's profession follows a period of almost ten years of preparation, during which he also acquired a primary teacher's certificate in Victoria. In recent years he has been teaching at St. George's school in central Melbourne. and this year he will hold a post at the school of the Servite parish of Kingsbury, north of Melbourne. The eucharistic liturgy and prayers for taking of final vows for life were prepared by Brother Stephen himself. Referring to an article of the Servite Constitutions that says: "Entering community life does not weaken but rather strengthens the love we have for our families," the presiding vicar provincial, Rev. Christopher Ross, OSM indicated that the Servites did not see themselves taking the young professed from his famity but rather sharing with them the fraternal affection which both Order and family would now have for him. The homilist. Rev. Terry Melvin, . OSM, highlighted that vowed religious life makes all Christians feel restless to accept the challenge of living the gospel. A large number of Servites were present. even from overseas, including the American provincial, Rev. Bruce Klikunas, OSM. The annual chapter. this time dedicated to an evaluation of Servite life and ministry, was begun a few days ago. - Christopher M. Ross,

SONSHINE APPLICATION To make Christian Radio a reality in Perth, Sonshine Radio faces the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal at a public hearing beginning February 17. At the hearing Sonshine Radio must prove support from the Christian community and the ability to finance the project. It will not be sufficient to simply state God will supply the money for His

work.

Sonshine Radio has asked for 5,000 subscribers committed to paying the equivalent of $1 per week for the service they will receive. The cost of running the station has been estimated at $1000 a day. The additional $2,000 above subscriptions will come from sponsorship

announcements.

At present all money, over and above the present minimal administrative costs, is being invested towards the $500,000 needed to establish the station. With only a few weeks to go to the tribunal hearing 1800 more subscribers are needed. Only paid-up subscribers can be submitted as evidence. There is only one licence available, and under present policy no more licences for city-wide coverage will be issued. Two groups have applied for the license the Ethnic Broadcasting Committee of WA who want to broadcast in ethnic languages, and Sonshine Radio. Christian support will be of great benefit in helping the tribunal decide Sonshine Radio will be playing a mixture of secular and contemporary Christian music in accord with the program philiosophy based on St Paul's words to the Philippian church: "Fill your mind with those things that are good and deserve praise; things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honourable." The station will provide a news service; broadcasting interesting Interviews to display the church at work within the community; and present programs of special interest to the Christian community as a whole. Subscribers become members of the association, Good News Broadcasters Inc. and as such vote at the annual general meeting and are eligible to be nominated to the board of management if the nominee signs the Statement of Faith contained in the Constitution which is the Apostles Creed.
