Reun• n

ge I g

CHARLESTON (South Carolina): A former Episcopal (Ang ican) priest thinks "corporate reunion" with the Anglican Church "is no longer possible." Father James Parker, now director of Catholic Charities for the Diocese of Charleston, said he thinks Anglican-Catholic dialogue should continue. But Father Parker, the first former Episcopal priest ordained in the Catholic Church under a special 1980 US pastoral provision, said: "It was my personal opinion along with the opinions of many others who've done what I've done hat it · s no longer a viable goal to expect corporate reunion." "I love the Episcopal Church. It was hard to leave. here were moral questions which the bishops simply couldn't stand up and talk about," such as homosexuality, abortion, extramarital and premarital sex. Episcopa ians "believe Catholic faith," Father Parker said, and Episcopal bishops began to make doctrinal changes instead of administrative decisions. In 1978 he US Episcopal bisho s voted that divorced eo le could be married in the church, "which meant that Erzabeth Taylor could marry her seventh hus and canonica ly whi e the Du e of Windsor ost a good job becau e they oul n 't et him do that," he said. 'The Anglican churches bega to ma e it impossible for o le who believed Catholic faith to rema n Anglicans nd wor for corporate reunion because An licanism as no longer su p rtmg Catholic faith," he sard.

DRUGS AND

THE FAMILY

The phenomenon of drug abuse is one of the greatest tragedies plaguing society today, a tragedy of ever-widening proportions that strikes both industrialised and developing countries with devastating effects on individuals, families and the whole social fabric. The fact that the abusers are predominantly young people poses a p rticular threat to the future stability of ocietv s we advance towards the nd of th Second Millennium. In m s ge to the Int rn tional Congress on Drug Abuse held recently in Vi nna, Pope John Paul II said that this human tr: g dy wa worsening as: • Illegal drugs were produced in everincre sing qu ntitie . • Illicit drug trafficking, which produced immense profits, continued unchecked. • The vastly wid spre d char: cter of drug use., /though concentrated mong young people, was also found at every Ii v I of ocietv, in rural nd urban n as, in both men nd worn n, in f. t in II r: s nd cu/tun s.

Death Aboriginal deaths penalty Sir Helen MAHER, CSB

Sir with continuing deaths of Aborigines in prison , 45 since 1983 - over one a month - the time rs long overdue for Christians to come to an understanding of why we should be involved in such inhumanity. Let us think of why so many Aboriginal people die so mysteriously. As Christians we should remember that prisons contain people made in the image of God and that we are called by J sus to be d eply involved in the plight of our brothers and sisters. The CCJP Annu I Repon of 1986 states· "The Commission again committed itself to raising community awareness of issues With this in mind, 1t respon positively to a request for support in promoting a tour to raise awareness about th tragic number of deaths of Aboriginal people m police custody. The time is npe. W can su port in ev ry way by pray r. letter writing, money, the present campaign for a Federal Royal Commission mto Aboriginal d aths in goals Money r Len Colbung, 23 Barnett Way, can be sent to

Irish talent he Sea achaithe a es weaver g hers to ertaln • a d e g

The Seanachaithe night, one of the Fleadh '87 features at the Irish Club was put on by five storytellers who bore out the meaning of the word 'Seanachaithe' by telling stories which were scary, imaginative, tall and ludicrous. n the old days back in reland, the Seanachaithe, a great provider of ente a· nrnent, would visit homes or be passing through the vii ages, and his presence meant a night filled with inc, edib e stories, sometimes spiced and coloured with si ging and dancing.
