Spare a pang of sympathy for Baby M. now Melissa Stern - not a few so ggy tears of emoti on over a tiny mite tugged hither and thither but for a mature woman many decades hence. Her father, William Stern. touchingly says that one day he will explain to Melissa her extraordinary background. He needn't bother. Till the end of her days she will have a mountain of press cuttings, radio and television segments over which to browse and see herself in the mirror of 20th century fantasy. The Stern-Whitehead surrogacy case is a critical point in human history not because it is a heart-rending dispute over a child but because it is the ultimate in the factual and legal fabrication of the truth. For surrogacy has been invented as the trendy up-market word to put a gloss on a situation that has existed since Adam but hich was never turned into a high an. For the length of human history, in marriage or out. by force, collusion or accident. for the highest of motives or the most base. spoused or not. men and women have coupled to produce children of all shades of legitimacy that were accepted, passed around, absorbed or negotiated in a thousand and one varieties of family. It was considered to be one of the inevitable. if le · noble sideline feats of human procreation edals ere not handed out. The children survived. Baby is not original Heading the surrogacy ta es might be Abraham himself. advised by his terile Sarah o beget himself a child by the slave Hagar.

Christian Television Association has existed locally from almost the beginnings of television in Western Australia and the Catholic Church has been a member for over 20 of those years. The current members in WA are the Catholic and Uniting churches, the churches of Christ and the Salvation Army.

by COLLEEN HOWARD

The CTA of WA undertake to provide programs to fill the one per cent of statutory broadcast time the television and radio stations are required to provide under the Broadcasting Act. The local CTA therefore can undertake some joint local production such as this Good Friday's program as well as obtain programs from related organisations in the Eastern States and overseas at far below production cost. The member churches realise that by this

co-operative arrangement they are obtaining hundreds of thousand of dollars worth of television time that otherwise would be beyond the resources of any church. CTA of WA provides Perth's two commercial channels with three hours of half-hour programs each week, one hour to Golden West Network and a half hour to GTW 11 Geraldton, in addition to numerous 60 seconds CTA 'spots' seen at random even in prime time periods. The acquisition of GT\/1/ 11 by he Golden

West Network will increase comprehensive programming. The satellite transmission by this network will enable it to reach every corner of Western Australia. A typical Sunday line- up of material supplied by CTA/WA would be: TVVI/ 7 - Perth: 7am 'Crossrock' - a young people's contemporary gospe music and interview program produced by CTA Queensland and Anglican TV Brisbane .

Letter to the Ephesians must have been written for a wide audience, many of whom, like ourselves, never had known St Paul. Its approach is actually quite impersonal. But what the letter loses in warmth it gains in universality. Written as a kind of encyclical or pastoral letter, it was a pauline message for all Christians. This is the way it was handed down in the early church. The letter speaks of many things of vital and universal importance. One of these is expressed in the word "mystery" (1 :9). It is a word, I fear, that has been somewhat abused and no longer evokes any of the excitement and hope that were intended. Ephesians speaks of mystery in the context of God's plan of salvation, which gradually unfolds in history. It unfolds in the Christian mission and in the lives of all who take part in it. As it unfolds, God's plan, at first hidden, is gradually disclosed. The word "mystery" consequently does not refer to the humanly unknown and the naturally unknowable, as when someone asks how God can be present in sinful human beings and the answer given is, "That's a mystery!", or when we refer to the Trinity as a mystery, meaning that ultimately, for all our efforts, we never will understand it fully. '-....ii:;..,....;._, What is mystery then, as Ephesians speaks of it? For Ephesians, mystery refers to something that is known but only partially - the way we know God's love or the gift of life. Our knowledge always is very limited. We may not even have words to express these thoughts. Still, we are in touch with their mystery and, as we continue to grow in life and love, what we know in a very limited way gradually is disclosed to us.

Their devotion to him is evidenced in a touching way by their tearful reaction to his farewell discourse to them (Acts 20:1 -38). However, we actually are Yery poorly informed about this community, its life, its succes es, its problems. The letter "to the Ephesians" is not much help on this score. In the view of the vast majority of scholars, it was not sent

pecifically to thi church. As we read the letter today, it is addressed to "the holy one at Ephesus". But the words "at Ephesus" are missing from the earliest and best manuscripts. Apparently it was a sort of encyclical letter written to the churches of the province A each community received it, it put its own name in the blank left for that purpose. The general tenor of the letter bears this out. It is very impersonal, containing no allusions to local circumstances, quite unlike the other Pauline letters.

St Paul stayed in Ephesus for nearly three years, longer than anywhere else. His epistles or letters "to the Ephesians", scholars now believe, were written by someone using Paul's name between 90 and 100 A.O., decades after Paul died.

Correspondingly, the tyle i very different from that of the more familiar letters of Paul When one adds the more important fact that the theology of the letter i amazingly advanced over the usual thought of Paul, one is almo t forced to conclude that he did not write thi letter personally. An unknown author, writing between 90 and 100 A.O., decades after Paul' death, addressed the churches of ia in the name of the great apostle - a not uncommon device. Hi message is a magnificent one. Ephesians sees the risen Christ as the centre of the

whole universe, ghing meaning to all being and to all hi ory, of v..ttich he i the culmination. This "cosmic" Christ • also head of the Church, which is thought of in terms of the universal Church - one, holy, Catholic, apostolic. The emphasis on the unity and holin of the Church transcends the a tual disunity and infuln of its members. But this ideal image has an advantage. It gi,·es a positive ideal at which to aim, showing what we should be and, with God' grace, can be. uch, it suggests an excitingly positive Lenten program for sharing in the life of the risen Christ.
