'Disabilities are not so much individual tragedies as predictable occurrences.' - Mary Jane Owen By JAMES N. DUNBAR
HYANNIS - For Mary Jane Owen, blind, with partial hearing and confined to a wheelchair, talking about the vital need for dioceses and their parishes to minister to those with disabilities comes from firsthand knowledge. But it goes far beyond justice, says Owen, who, as exeoutive director of the National Catholic Office for Persons with Disabilities says that the fear of human' vulnerability and its denial of place in our society - a feeling held even among Catholics - is catering to a culture of death that even spreads to children newly from the womb. "I think we need to accept the fact that God doesn't place the gift of life in highimpact plastic," she said. "He places it in very vulnerable, human vessels. We are all
destined to fall' apart. But we Catholics should not be that concerned about the frailties because we know we are destined for a better place in our resurrection." Owen, who has worked as a social worker, research director, assistant professor and who holds degrees in fine arts, theology and social work, displayed her wide, spread knowledge, wit and vibrant IJersonality early Monday morning when she spoke to representatives of the Fall River diocese prior to the two-day regional meeting of the NCPD at the Four Points Hotel i~ Hyannis. , , Representatives from across New England gathered there Monday and Tuesday to share ideas and resources with colleagues in the ministry, brainstorm strategies, to increase participation and overcome physi,cal and attitudinal barriers in welcoming those with disabilities back into the parish community and'its spiritual life. Their discussion focused on such things as access ramps, easy access to lavatories, and removal of sections of pews to allow Turn to page 13 - Conference

the living word
A wonder-fol week The Church through her rubrics and signs i~a tremendous teacher. After all, in educational parlance, the Church indeed was the innovator of audio and visual education. In a world where so many could not read,or write, the Church as building, as sacrament and as sign, brought the message of the "Good News" in music, art, stained glass and ritual. ' In our crass and perfunctory world, those who share in the Iiturgical life of the Church are either of the basic "get'in and out" mind-set or they are'shortchanged by services .that resemble fast food delivery. The result is that in many places the age-old teachings and insights of the liturgy are absent. Holy Week is a time in the life of the Church, an'd our lives as well, where the didactic miracles of the liturgy shine forth. It should be a time where the rites by which we celebrate the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord literally overpower 'our senses. By rite and ritual we are given a deeper appreciation of the mysteries of redemption. They provide an opportunity to better under- , stand the meaning of what we are all about in the salvation drama. Signs andsymbols become saered,nurturing blessings that bring their meaning not only to mind but soul as well. It is a teaching opportunity that no one in the Church family should miss. Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II has described Holy Week as a ,"pilgrimage to Jerusalem" embodying "the culmination of vivid history." Aware of his recent, moving journey to the sacred places of redemption, our sense of pilgrimage becomes more vivid and aliv~ as we reflect on the mysteries of our faith. All the sacraments can be said to flow from or find their highest expression in the events of this on'e week. Just as our ancestors of old were drawn to Jerusalem for Passover so also for two millenniums have Christians annually journeyed to' Jerusalem 'i~ heart and mind for the celebration of Holy Week., . Palm Sunday is our gateway as we gather to begin O,ur pilgrimage. We enter Jerusalem with palms in our hands while sounding the acclamation "Hosanna." The music, the palms, the red, vestments are what we hear and sing, touch and see, raising our hearts to the understanding of the Lord's entering into battle with Satan to win for us our s a l v a t i o n . , ' On Holy Thursday we journey to the upper room. The washing t;>f 'feet, the institution of the priesthood and giving of Christ himself in the Eucharist: are vibrant faith moments: The procession of the Eucharist in the words of the Holy Father '~recalls that specific moment , when Christ left the upper room." , , Good Friday is unique in itself, aday of stillnes~ and silence; a wonderful message for our times. The guiltiness, the emptinesS'and the resting are so important to this day. In this atmospher~ we mourn not for Him but for ourselves. ' . Then follows the Easter Vigil. The most important liturgicalcer" ,~monyof the Church year, it is night turned into day. From darkness we journey' to light. ,Candles, incense, water an~ oil are but a few of the Lord's creations we use in such a sacred way.. We rejoice in bap-, tism, confirmation and conversion. We become renewed in water and yows. All the fears of our life are wiped away and w~ have ,the choice of personal f u l f i l l m e n t . . .. ' , ">'" . " Easter is our new life. His death is our ransom.'Hisresurreetionis' our rising to life., It is a time that we shOuld not ignore' or passby:~it's our moment. Both young and old; parent and child, grandparent a~d grandchild should immerse themselves in this new life. To do sO'they ,should share in these miraculousmomerits of Holy Week,': that they may again learn by the actions of the Church that God loves and cares , for t h e m . ' In this great Jubilee Year, may the first Easterbe a'time when our own selfishness, pettiness and resentment be left behind in the darkness so that all may walk as children of th~ light. It's a wonder-ful week. '

If we step back from the census issu~ and look at the bigger picture, the question of privacy raises serious concerns. A basic strength of society is ,found in the willingness of civicminded people to work together as a community. The principle of community is also essential to the .Church's .life. In order to sustain community- spirit, we must trust each other, share ideas and swap information. " When trust erodes and the willingness of .people to share information breaks down, the glue that, holds us together as neighbors, citizens church or nation disintegrate'i.

They live in gated 'neighborhoods, and they seek out others who think as they do. Privacy is everything to them. There always has been a small hard core of people who want nothing'to do with civic affairs or religion. As long as we keep that core small, our country,. neighborhoods and churches will never be in jeopardy. But could it be that our technological age, which has made an art of collecting information on us, unconsciously is fostering radical individualism? Parents know from bitter experience that when children who have a will of their own are watched too closely, they rebel. Adults are no different. When watched too closely, they react. I have to wonder if those who are resistant to the longer census form unconsciously are delivering more valuable information to us than they would have, by filling the form out. It could be that they realize our privacy is being ero~ed severely and that they are reactmg by becoming even more' private, individual and isolated.

The logic of Church fund-raising The logic ofa lot ofChurch fundraising fascinates me, but then so do Carl Sagan reruns and National Geographic specials on sharks.

They could say, "Did you watch that National Geographic special on TV last night where a great white bent a steel cage trying to eat a diver holding a point-and-shoot camera? Yes?

Medal of Honor by the American Biographical Institute, and they also received the Outstanding Persons of the 20th Century Medal from the International Biographical Institute of Cambridge, England. What means the most to Father BruCe Noble about the honors is that they' were awarded to the brothers for their collective ministry work. Their lives have truly paralleled each other, from their physical ap. pearance to their careers. Both of the bespectacled twins sport short gray hair, beard and mustache and black clericals. Both were ordained as Episcopalian priests but became Catholics in 1987. Both spent considerable time in the Marriage Encounter movement, conducting 800 Marriage Encounters in 13 countries, which is a world record..

THEANCHOR-DioceseofFallRiver-Fri.,Apri114,2(XX} Even with the frequent stares and second takes the Noble twins receive, Father Bruce feels great personaijoy about being an identical twin. He said the experience also helps him with his life's work. Since birth, he has had someone else to consider, to relate to and to share with. As a chaplain, he said, it helps him relate better to patients and to see life from their perspective., A typical day for Father Bruce begins with looking over a list of new admissions and those who are being prepared for surgery to determine which patients are Catholic.
For the patients about to undergo surgery, he offers to anoint them with oil, prays with them, and hem:s their confessions. ''They gain courage and strength from this,'! he said; Father Noble sees joy and sorrow in his job at The Methodist Hospital. In one room, he might visit with a patient who simply wants to pray with the priest But in the next room, he might counsel a family who is faced with end of life issues. He said the challenge is to give each patient the individual care and compassion that is deserved.

11 Auckland bishop's pledge to help' women gets mostly good response Pray to end abortions THEANCHOR-Dio.ceseofFaiIRiver-Fri.,April14,2000
By DOROTHY Coup CATHOUC NEWS SERVICE
AUCKLAND, New ZCaland Despite comments that included "butt out," Bishop Patrick Dunn has received mainly positive responses to his pledge to give financial and every other possible help for women to choose life instead of abortion. The Auckland bishop said he is determined to "develop a culture of helping." "A lot of people know instinctively what I mean and understand what I am trying to do," he said. But it was the financial side of the his Pro-Life initiative that captured front-page headlines like, "Bishop offers cash to save babies." The Auckland Wom~n's Health Council said it was "inappropriate for the church to be involved" and . told the bishop to "butt out." New Zealand Herald columnist Elizabeth Easther suggested the bishop's actions were "morally bankrupt." Other responses to Bishop Dunn included $5 in his mail from a nonCatholic, a check for $500 handed to him by a stranger outside St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the support of parish priests. . Bishop Dunn's initiative was made in cooperation with the Family Life Pregnancy Center, an organization formed to offer practical help in crisis pregnancies. "Last year 110 women who came to the center chose I~fe for their babies," said Colleen Bayer, executive director of Family Life International. After the media report of the bishop's pledge, the clinic received seven calls .from women needing . help, instead of the usual two or three that morning, said Bayer. Also supporting Bishop Dunn will be the Missionaries of Charity sisters, who are looking at ways they can provide ongoing help for
the women during their pregnancy and beyond. . Questioned about the need for ongoing support, Bayer said up to 20 percent of those approaching the center needed ongoing help during their pregnancy. "Once women decide to keep their baby, they want to get on with their lives," Bayer said. "They may need help with baby clothes, accommodation, lifts to pregnancy clinics orregular support by telephone or a visit, but they. do get the domestic purposes benefit, and by the time the baby is 18 months, at the very most, they have made plans, set goals and want to get on with their lives independently." Bayer said she was delighted with Bishop Dunn's pledge of the Church's help "to any woman, re-
gardless of creed or circumstances and without any conditions attached." "Women come to our clinic· for a number of reasons," Bayer said. "Some are young and frightened and do not want to go to the family doctor for a pregnancy test, or are afraid that, because of their circumstances, their doctor will refer them for an abortion. One couple were young migrants who had no money and saw the 'We Care' on the board outside the center." Family Life International, which finances the Pregnancy Center, is funded by the Catholic people ofNew Zealand with no grants from any organization, said Bayer. It is not supported by the diocese, although the bishop is a personal donor, nor does it receive money from overseas.

Cardinal Law urges U.S. leaders' -support for peace in .Sudan By CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE WASHINGTON - The chairman of the U.S. bishops' International Policy Committee called on the U.S. government to support peace efforts in Sudan and pledged continued Church efforts to aid victims of its civil war. Cardinal Bernard F. Law of Boston said in a state'Pent: "The end of the war would not resolve all of Sudan's problems, but it would make it possible to address some of the most egregious suffering of the people of Sudan - hunger, millions of displaced, economic underdevelopment and slavery. "There is no.military solution to.this conflict; as difficult as it may be, a negotiated solution is the only way forward," he said. His statement was released in Washington last week. The cardinal called on the U.S. government to support the Sudanese peace process sponsored by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, noting that the bishops of East Africa "have given .their full support" to this effort. He said the Sudanese government must end aerial bombings of civilian targets, halt its restrictions on delivery of humanitarian aid to famine-stricken.areas and end government-sponsored militia raids in which women and children are abducted. The
Sudanese government must stop efforts to enforce Shariah, the legal code of Islam, on non-Muslim people, he added. "People are losing their lives and denied their rights in part because of their faith," the cardinal said. The U.S. bishops call on the United States government "to pursue vigorously efforts to encourage IGAD negotiations, to help strengthen its mandate, and to bring additional pressure on the Khartoum regime and opposition groups to make a good faith effort to end the war," he said.· He pledged continued support of the U.S. bishops in response to needs of the Church and people in Sudan, including through the work of Catholic Relief Services, the bishops' international relief and development agency; supporting peace initiatives by churches in Sudan; sending missionaries to places where bishops are prevented from visiting; and praying for the Sudanese people. Sudan's current civil conflict, which began in 1983, has left nearly two million people dead and four million displaced. Black African Christians and animists in southern Sudan have been fighting the Arab-Muslim North on and off for more than 40 years, since Sudan gained its independence from Britain in 1956.

"But. before that can happen, and even with access ramps and other amenities in place, there must be an attitude change among the people in the parishes," Owen asserted. "Somehow we have let into our society the idea that if we don't have a perfect body; the attributes that we consider to be winning, somehow we have failed. Human disabilities are a normal part of God's plan and that is what civilizes us. if we let it. Our intertwining disabilities. our diversities. make the strongest bond." Hosting the event were the NCPD and the Diocesan Office of Catholic Social Services. Owen. who took over the national office in June. 1991. came to the key post following two decades of national level activities in promoting creative policies and programs of inclusion for America's 43 million disabled citizens. She made it clear from the outset of the talk Monday that "a new definition of disabilities is: they are the normal and anticipated outcome of the risks. strains and stresses of the living process itself. Therefore, the condition ceases to be merely an individual tragedy and becomes an expectation within any community." She said that everyone. no matter what their level of disability may be. reflect a certain facet ofGod's universal presence in our world. . As a' former academic professor. Owen said she asked her international friends what the theology of disability might be for them.

"It will free us from past fears."

WASHINGTON - Pope John Paul II has named Bishop Daniel F. Walsh of Las Vegas to head the Diocese of Santa Rosa in California. Bishop Walsh. a 62-year-old native of San Francisco. succeed's .Bishop G. Patrick Ziemann. who resigned last July amid charges of sexual and financial misconduct. The appointment was announced April 11 in Washington by Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo, apostolic nuncio to the United States. Bishop Walsh will be installed as the fifth bishop of Santa Rosa May 22 at St. Eu-' gene Cathedral in Santa Rosa. He was an auxiliary bishop in San Francisco from 1981 to 1987. when he was appointed bishop of Reno-Las Vegas. The diocese that encompassed all of
Nevada was divided in 1995. and Bishop Walsh was named the first bishop of Las Vegas at that tirrre. San Francisco Archbishop William 1. Levada. who has been administrator of the Santa Rosa Diocese since Bishop Ziemann's resignation. praised Bishop Walsh as "a respected. experienced and pastoral leader" and said he faces "daunting responsibilities" in his new post. The diocese announced last September it faces a $15 million debt. and in February officials said it could double to $30 . million. The financial crisis has significantly affected parishes. schools and diocesan agencies and has led to questions about Bishop Ziemann'sfinancial stewardship during his sevenyear tenure as Santa Rosa's bishop.

What if few of your friends stood by you during this time of devastating loss? If so, perhaps you would have some sense of what Jesus faced as he looked down from the cross. We can only guess what thoughts and feelings Jesus might have experienced on that first Good Friday. Yet, when I heard the lyrics of Savage Garden's new hit "Crash and Bum;' it brought to mind the emotional struggles Jesus might have encountered. The song mentions "monsters in your head." Perhaps Jesus heard the monstrous voice of doubt telling him that this terrible end to ~is life could· have been avoided. Indeed, Pilate seemed to seek a way to let Jesus go. Was it really worth it. to stand by the truths that he had preached? And then, . what was his stance doing to those he deeply loved? Doubt at the point of death can be most difficult. The song also describes the feeling of being all. alone. It is clear from the Gospel that Je~us fought with this feeling: "Father, Father, why have you forsaken me?" Again, to use the song's words, he must have felt that "the world" had "turned its back" on him and his message about the Kingdom of God. Maybe he felt "darkness ... upon [the] door" and that he couldn't "take it anymore" as he
witnessed his life "crash and bum." Yet, another feeling appeared to come over him as his last. hours passed. He voiced a new level of trust and surrendyr: "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." He trusted in this Father he loved so dearly. He experienced th,e truth expressed in the song's words, 'You are not alone...· On this first Good Friday of our new century and millennium, we need to reconsider what Jesus' death means to us. It is important to see Calvary for what it is. For Jesus dying on the cross, the miracle and joy of Easter morning is a long way off-emotionally. ' . True, Easter is the m5lst significant day on the Christian calendar. Yet, in this jubilee year, don't rush into it. Pause to consider the trust· and surrender to God that Jesus modeled in his last earthly 'hours. Think about how he committed himself to deal with the worst of human circumstances, and yet affirmed his belief that we are not alone. Then, know once more,in your heart that whatever happens in your life, God stands with you. Like Jesus, you too can believe. Your comments are always welcome.
