STRIKERS AND THE CHURCH WARSAW (NC): The Catholic Church has expressed understanding for stiking Polish workers "who are trying to improve their lot materially and in other areas such as respect for human rights".
With over 130 Savings Centres throughout Western Australia, we're near you. But no other building society comes near us.
An official communique from the office of Cardinal Wyszynski also asked the strikers to exercise wisdom and prudence. Bishop Kaczmarek of Gdansk has told the workers that prolonged stoppages and possible disturbances, or the shedding of brotherly love are contrary to the good of society. Bishop Kacmarek has established pastoral services for the strikers, including the administration of the sacraments and Sunday Mass. Strikers can be seen kneeling at confession beside priests seated in the open air. "If they are believers, they have every right to invoke the Virgin Mary the pope and God, "said the official communique. CONTINUED P.2)

Catholic worship without a priest V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Sixty percent of all acts of Catholic worship in Indonesia take place without a priest, Vatican Radio stated recently. Reporting on a recent pastoral letter by Archbishop Leo Seokoto of Jakarta, Indonesia, the radio station said the archdiocese has only 133 priests, 55 of whom are native Indonesians, to serve a Catholic population of 148,000. Archbishop Seokoto said that priest shortage in Indonesia would be considerably worsened if the government decides to e xpel foreign missionaries. He did not say how likely it is that the government will take any action against foreign missionaries.
Expulsions
A report given to the Vatican in June by a group of missionary bishops in Indonesia expressed concern about the possibility of expulsions. "The recent attitude of the minister of the Department for Religious Affairs and a considerable number of Darrel Woodward shows Father Charles Sellars the mechanical rosary he designed for the Indonesian government officials places the church handicapped. of Indonesia in an unsettling quandary.

The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace sent a representative to Noonkanbah at the invitation of the Aboriginal community. He is Mr. Peter Mullins t he commission member for South Australia and Northern Territory.

Record Anyone who may feel tempted to sympathise with an expression of racist bigotry in Victoria Park this week should think twice before using housing as a stick with which to beat the drum. Perth has a lot for which to be thankful in its growth. We have never had a housing war and we do not want one now. The particularly obstinate attitude that we may dictate who may or may not own a house w i ll bring far more havoc than may be imagined. It simply invites the "blockbusting" buying syndicates to take over and literally demolish a suburb much more successfully than any i magined invasion by so-called unwanted neighbours. Experience has shown that the rich know how to look after themselves in such a situation, a nd it is the poor who are left sitting in the suburban ruins. The market force principle in housing and land is not perfect but there is a lot to be said for each individual having the freedom to choose his home largely where he wishes. We do not need some thick-headed commissar telling us where we shall live depending on the colour of our skin, the state of our overdraft, or the standard of our social qualities. Nor is there any place in Australia for people ranting about the so-called superiority of one race over another. If there is to be debate about the direction of Australia's immigration policy then the parliamentary and political forum is the place and not the turgid minds of graffiti scrawlers and the l ike. Over the past decades, all parliaments have shown the responsible attitude that Australia cannot live in isolation from the vast Asian humanity that surrounds us. There may be differences of opinion about precisely how we should go about such integration and assimilation. The various departments of immigration have shown that quietlyand unobtrusivelythey can gently correct unwanted imbalances if they Occur.
They do not need heckling as we heard this week. Catholics in Australia have been made to face the Christian reality of migration. Our baptismal registers are packed with the names firstly of the many European arrivals a nd now with many Asians. These people are the new lifeblood in our parishes and thank God for the lessons that they are teaching us about the universality of the Church. Saint Paul knew he would have to tackle this thorny human problem early in the life of the C hurch. His answer was decisive and unambiguous: "You are no longer male or female Jew or Gentile, Greek or Roman. You are one in Christ."

When human life begins By Mrs Melda Prince, Hilton
The two doctors who first inseminated a female ovum and a male sperm in a test tube and then transplanted it into the woman's womb stated that 'life' had been created when the ovum and sperm had met and joined in the test tube. They did not state that a foetus had begun which would later
MARINA WELCOME, BUT WHY NO INDUSTRY?
By J.V. Davies, West Coast Highway, Trigg
The new Ocean Reef Marina is certainly a welcome development and there should be more of them, but its establishment raises a serious question. While its positioning is a boon to residents of the area it is regrettable that more positive steps are not being taken to establish industry in the region. There must be some disquiet over the fact that the northern corridor seems fated to remain only residential in character. Despite Government lip service to the concept of making the corridor virtually self-contained, it has done nothing practical towards making the plan work. Surely an elementary step would have been to place suitable industry in the area.

By Mrs. Aileen Eaton, Hamersley
I recently attended a Baptism which made me think of my obligation to one of my Godchildren — a niece.
My sister has three children all at Catholic Schools, so while finding out how much my Godchild knows of her religion I thought I might try the others too. From a Catechism of Christian Doctine (1971) I asked the children, aged 13, 11, and 9, some simple questions I was amazed that they knew so little of what I

I might add that the children were interested in hearing of the four marks by which persons may know the church andthe meaning of the church asan infallible guide in faith and morals. I found the visit very disappointing. The children are all good students and I suppose they are not being taught the Catechism which my husband and I believe is the first step in learning of God a nd the church. We have been unable to buy the Cathechism because Pellegrini's have sold out. Is thisbecause people have no other simple book for teaching children? The catechism is divided into four sections, Faith, Hope, Charity and the Sacraments. Aren'tthese still taught? Have any mothers had similar experiences?
TOUGH ON FAMILIES By Mr. PaulDonnelly, Claremont
The Budge failure to restore the value of child endowment to the level it held in relation to the average wage in 1976.1s calamitous as Australia's birthrate falls steadily below population replacement. As total Endowment in 1976was $998 millions and wages have increased 40 per cent since then, the Budget should have add.ed another $400 million for family finance. The Budget has provided some extra help for single parents but for the good, old-fashioned, Australian family nothing! As families of three or more children provide 40 per cent of our total children a 40 per cent lir indexing of Endowment to these larger families would cost round $160 millions which, budgetwise. is not excessive. I suggest that parents of large families should write to their Federal members to secure the 1976 restoration of Endowment to the 1940 - 1950 established levels.

Announcing the special mission intention for September, Pope John Paul has directed his particular care to areas where the gospel message has not yet been heard, and where the church has not yet been established. The September mission intention states "That all Christians, by working with the Pontifical Mission Aid Societies, may share the concerns of the Holy Father in the task of evangelization." The Pope described the Pontifical Mission Aid Societies as the "Providential means whereby people may collaborate with him in the universal mission of the church to spread the gospel". The title "Pontifical Mission Aid Societies" was given by Pope Benedict XV to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, The Society of Missionary Childhood and the Society of St. Peter Apostle. * * *
Missionary Father John Ulliana of Thailand publishes an eight-page Catholic news sheet each week w hich is circulated among Buddhists. In fourteen years of publication, distribution has grown to over four thousand copies each week. Buddhists who received the news sheet have expressed their growing understanding and appreciation of Christianity. The sheet is distributed free, and Father Ulliana said that Providence has always taken care of e xpenses. He has not missed one single issue since commencing publication fourteen years ago, Father Ulliana said. *** Over ten thousand letters were received by the Bible Society from appreciative Chinese listeners who have tuned in to Bible broadcasts beamed to communist China during the past year. Many of the letters come from non-believers. They simply want to learn more about the love and care of God. Many have expressed doubts about their system of government Which tries to great number exclude all religion. A of the letters are from Y oung people who are searching for a deeper meaning in life. *** Emmanuel Sulaiman Lappia, son of Muslim parents who have ten O ther children, was ordained priest last December for the Diocese of K enema in Sierra Leone.

Hardship in isolatedNW diocese
BROOME'S NEED OF PRIESTS SPERATE Australia's. youngest and poorest diocese desperately needs more diocesan priests.
"In my diocese I have seven Pallotines, a Redemptorist, a Cistercian and two young diocesan priests," Bishop John Jobst of Broome said this week. "But several of the priests are semiretired. "The Cistercian is a hermit who lives according to his order's rule and is not involved in any direct pastoral work. "So in the diocese — which is two and a half times the size of the State of Victoria — we have only seven active priests." Traditionally the diocese has been manned by Pallotine missionaries. "But the Pallottines have not been able to replace any priest who has left the diocese or died since 1966," Bishop Jobst said. "No other order is prepared to take on a mission or an area in the diocese. "The Redemptorists have been able to lend us one priest. "But he is due to leave us next Easter. "What we really need are diocesan priests. "We have two, Chris Saunders, who was ordained in 1977, and PaulBoyers, who was ordained last year. "And we have a student at St. Paul's National Seminary for Late Vocations in Sydney. "Please God, he will be ordained in 1 982." Bishop Jobst said that 80 percent of his Catholic people were of Aboriginal descent. "They are among the most disadvantaged people, in material terms, anywhere in the world," he said. The diocese is also recognised as one of the toughest mission fields in the Church. "It is a life of hardship," he said. "It is a life close to the spirit of the gospel.

DIVISION 0 THE LITURGY
The modern English liturgy will be published this Autumn in the "Alternative Service Book" meant to compliment the "Book of Common Prayer" that dates from 1662.
Churches as 'relics'
H ANOI, Vietnam (NC) — Catholic churches in Hanoi appear to be historical monuments rather than places of w orship, according to an article by Reuters, the British newsagency. "Except for two hours a day — from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. — the large iron doors of the French-built Queen of Peace Cathedral remain closed. After years of neglect, the building looks like a relic," said the article. The article quoted Dao Tam Chau, a 30-year-old official at the Vietnamese foreign ministry, who said that he was
born a Catholic and attended church r egularly as a child. "We have freedom of religion in Vietnam. But religion has lost its attraction to the younger generation. They want to rebuild their nation without wasting time," said Chau. "I do not go to church any more because I want to do more useful things.Ido not believe in religion. Y ou can say I am a free thinker. ."The government does not interfere with religion. But neither do we allow religion to interfere in state affairs."
The modern English version is the result of 25 years of work. The "Book of Common Prayer" dates from 1662, but is in essence the prayer book of the Elizabethian church drawn up by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer a century earlier. It will be up to the parish priest and the parochial church council to decide which liturgy will be used in a parish, the parishes can decide to use both at diffe- BEIRUT, Lebanon (NC) rent services. — Arab Christians should Supporters of the old convert to Islam because liturgy say that there is a "an Arab can't be a ChrisLONDON (NC) — Efforts have been halted, at least tremendous emotional att- tian," according to Moamtemporarily, to amend a British law which prevents heirs mar Khadafy, the of head achment to the "Book of to the throne There from marrying Roman Catholics.

It is set in early colonial A ustralia and stars Michael Craig, Nicola Pagett, Angela Punch McGregor and Ray Barrett. It begins next Thursday night at 7.30. The first movie length premier episode is called A Ship With White Wings. As fierce looking Aborigines hide, watching, a motley group of convicts and marines is assembled in a small tent town on an eastern Australian shore. It is 1788, and they are to witness the birth of a nation when the British flag is raised and Captain Arthur Phillip is proclaimed Governor of New South Wales. The ceremony does not move the men and women t o dreams of a better future. In the harsh, alien land, desperately short of supplies and with no craftsmen, day to day survival is the major battle.
unaware that she has a son. When he discovers the deception he is enraged. But Mannion is attracted to Ellen and eventually takes her to his bed. Johnny witnesses their lovemaking and, filled with hatred and resentment
towards Mannion, visits t he Aborigines more frequently. The Timeless Land is written for television by Peter Yeldham, from the novels The Timeless Land, Storm of Time and No Barrier, by Eleanor Dark.
It is against this background that young convict mother, Ellen Prentice, is forced to offer her favour to the marines in return for extra rations for herself and son Johnny. Johnny is forming his own friendships -with the Aborigines, particularly one named Bennelong. Though Ellen is horrified, Governor Phillip sees it as an opportunity to further his plans to befriend the natives. But some of the Aborigines prove hostile. It is two years before a ship, the Lady Juliana, arrives with the news that the accompanying supply ship has sunk. Aboard the Lady Juliana is wealthy Irish settler, Stephen Mannion, and his son, Patrick - plus 200 more convicts to add to the colony's plight. The autocratic Mannion, who becomes one of the great landowners of the colony, selects Ellen to become his housekeeper,

The new set provides a better appearance on camera and provides a practical way of presenting the news in a clear and concise way. News Director Terry Spence said they had been using the old set for about two years and he felt itwastime fora change. The differences the viewer will see are fairly intangible, but one of the main advantages will be the chroma-key effect which enables us to show slides behind the newsreader while he is reading the story," he added. "The new set will enable us to show a clearer picture and do slightly more with it," Terry said. The vy,eather set has also been changed to incorporate a new synoptic chartwhich the Weather Bureau intends to introduce shortly, to showthe weather patterns the bureau expect to develop during the following 24 hours. Terry said that he didn't expect to see any dramatic changes of news presentation in the near future.

Where once it used to be just the nurse and the doctor looking after the patient, t here is now a multi -disciplinary approach. In addition to the nurse and the doctor now you have people involved such as physiotherapists, medical social workers, dieticians and physicists. O n admission, a patient doesn't understand all these technical fields, but he does understand what a good doctor and nurse should do. When all else fails, sometimes basic care makes patients comfortable.

Youngsters entering nursing now arejust as keen as they ever were and just as anxious to do something for people. And now, of course, the men entering the profession are also enthusiastic. In fact, one of our male nurses at Mt Henry has just won the prize for being the best practical nurse. The youngsters respond to the discipline and challenge of their work, and particularly to a bit of encouragement.

was our nurses' quarters, and the beds were terrible with mattresses that had to be tied on to them to stop them slipping off. I was playing tennis then, pennants for Alexander Park and as a number of the RPH team, and I told Matron Segal that the poor sleeping facilities were interferring both with my studies and my tennis. She had been a keen tennis player herself and always took an interest in the R PH team and in the young nurses generally. When she heard my complaints about Forrest House, I became the first nurse to be given permission to sleep out. The soft spot that Matron Segal seemed to have for me helped me considerably in my career and I'll always be grateful to her.

After leaving Sacred Heart High School at Highgate - where my daughters Louise (12) and Elizabeth (11) are now pupils -I was employed by the Public Works Department until I was old enough to start nursing training at 18. In fact they let me in a few weeks before my 18th birthday, probably because I was a strong birthday, probably because I was a strong and healthy girl. Royal Perth then owned Forrest House, which
I found district nursing fascinating and I had some marvellous experiences with the patients I was privileged to look after. There was great family involvement in the home as you called on the patients and taught their sons, daughters and husbands or wives how to care for them. Some of the patients were suffering terminal illnesses and I was involved up to the stage of making the burial arrangements and attending the
funeral. Our two little daughters were keenly interested in my work and patients and at an early age they came to know about people being sick and dying. I had 100 patients by the time we left the
Bridgetown area.
* * *
My present role in caring for the elderly is another intriguing nursing experience. Mt Henry now also has some younger patients and we have extended our facilities into the care of the dying. Our aim is to achieve comfort and security for the terminally-ill patient and we are closely involved with the family at this time. Chaplains play a big part in the work and a number of our patients, whether dying or not, spend a lot of the day praying. They are very interested in our staff and when examination time comes up they redouble their prayers for the success of staff members in the exams, or indeed in any other problem the staff might have. The staff in turn go far beyond the call of duty in caring for the patients. * * *
The families of some of our patients are marvellous. A number of busy working men, for example, visit their mothers or fathers here every day of their lives. It saddens me in some instances, however, that the reverse is the case. The poor parent is left here, deserted by the family. Our patients love to talk about their families, their achievements, what they are doing in the outside world, the grandchildren and their activities. Lack of family visits deprives them of this cherished information and they suffer a sense of loss during what is left of their lives.
Columban missionaries: One lived in the slums
NEW APPROACH TO TRAINING
Saint Columban Missionary Society is taking a new a pproach to preparing prospective priests for their overseas missionary work.
Seminary students leave the Columban seminary in North Turramurra NSW to study in Korea, Chile or the Philippines depending on which area they are likely to serve in after ordination. Six students are already o verseas and two more students left this week. Fran Vasavour of New Zealand is off to Japan and George Hogarty of Melbourne will study in Korea. The traffic is two way. Two Korean students have come to Australia to study alongside Columban seminarians so that they can get a contact with future Western missionaries and so that the future Australian missionaries will learn something from the Korean visitors. The two-year Overseas Training Programme is aimed at making the trainee aware of his own reactions, his attitudes and his total approach to ministry using the personal experience of reality as the starting
He puts his riiiircey where his mouth is MANILA: Philippines: "Put your money where your mouth is." Thats how Australian Columban Father Colin McLean roughly translated what the Manila slum dwellers told him.

point of knowledge rather than lectures and just reading about reality. It's all part of being a better missionary in a fast changing
world. Information on Columban missionary life is available from Father P.J. Kelly, Rivervale, 361 1097.
"I'd go to the slum in my parish every day," he added. "They'd hear me sympathising with their suffering and poverty, but knew I was living in a comfortable rectory. "So they gently suggested there was only one way I'd find out what it's really like - and here I am." That's where the Columban missionary has lived for three years in the Philippines. It was an eyeopener. To make him feel at home, the slum dwellers helped him build his own apartment, using a 6ft x 6ft x 6ft crate. It was too small for the tall Columban so they knocked out one side and extended it. That way he could at least stretch out on his mat to sleep at night, even if he couldn't stand up straight. Immediately, slum problems really became his problems. There are 4,000 squatters crowded into an area of barely two acres. They got their water from two faucets. He has to stand in line every day for water just like everyone else. There are only two toilets. "And to add to the ironic sniff," the Columban said, "there's an
open sewer running past the slum from the wealthy homes. But the local authorities do nothin2." He first tackled the problem of dead babies. "The parents got taken by funeral directors who charged too much," he said. "What could parents do? You can't leave a corpse in this heat • and shop around." With the help of dedicated young community organisers, he started a slum dwellers' organisations (SAMAHA). After visiting several different funeral homes, they finally got results. "Many that survive have TB," he a dded. "If they go for treatment at hospitals they get prescriptions for f oreign medicines they can't a fford. "For the neediest we get a doctor and two nurses to come in once a week." The Columban doesn't regret moving into slum. "I celebrate Mass in a lealfto shed, children play beside an open sewer, flowers grow in a garbage pail. "Jesus would be at home here. "Why should I complain?"

ACKSON GREA
Band not long ago gave us a farewell concert which was thankfully recorded on a two -album set. Now Levon Helm has cut out on his own a magnificent soft rock set full of the swamp music of the south and just a touch of Dylan for which he can be forgiven, considering the years he worked with the man. The album is titled American Son but do not let that put you off. On MCA Records, the disc has 10 good tracks, with Levon back doing the drumming and of course the lead vocals. There are no bad ones here but I liked Nashville Wimmin, China Girl, S weet Peach Georgia Wine, Watermelon In Georgia, Stay With Me and Violet Eyes the best. Suggest you do not miss this one.

• My Music And Me, Roy Clark (MCA label DO 2072/2, through Astor): Country humorist and top banjo picker Roy Clark has produced a fine double disc album featuring his voice and his banjo in equal amounts. Good middle-of-the-road sound with one foot in country. Good tracks: Kids, I Have A Dream, Modern Day Miracle Man (all vocal) and Lazy River, Georgia On My Mind and Forty Miles Of Bad Road (instrumental). • One Bad Habit, Michael Franks (Warner Bros label BSK 3427, through WEA): The latest from the cool Michael Franks isn't as good in my opinion as his last, Tiger In The Rain. The title track's quite good, and so are Loving You More And More, Lotus Blossom and Still Life. • Feeling Old Feelings, Ace Cannon (Cream label HI 6014, throught Astor): Cannon plays good saxophone, in a musical style similar to that of the mature Acker Bilk. This album features mainly standards (Feeling Old Feelings, Three Times A Lady, Spinning Wheel, MacArthur Park, I Don't Want To Be Right). Good vocal backing is a feature.

IVAN BANKS CPY FULLTIMER
This week I asked a young student why so many youth seemed hesitant to accept positions of responsibility within their youth organisations. His reply was that he did not want to appear better than his peers. He spoke of the difficulties ofleading a group among his peers, of doing all the talking and perhaps appearing to be better or more informed than other members. This gradual growth in accepting responsibility is understandable in young people's lives. The transition from childhood to responsible adulthood is an awkward time.

'STRANGERS' AT CAMP
The fifth Stranger Camp run by the R edemptorist Youth Encounter team was held last weekend. It was led by Br Peter Hayes, of Trinity College, and six team members: Frances Sutherland, Janet Cavill, Teresa Martelli, Damien Gee, Trevor Gaynor and Neil Hanley. The fourteen students at the camp came from Trinity College, Mercy College, Sacred Heart (Sorrento), Santa Maria, St. Norberts, Applecross High and Armadale High. Also on the camp were two Christian Brothers, Br. Lawrie Mousley, (Leederville) and Br. Alan Wedd, (Aquinas). A Stranger Camp enables a group of young people who have not met before to know one another through sharing their Christian faith. The programme includes talks on faith, prayer and life in a Christian community. Mandy Pritchard (Como) said: "It was a great experience. The best timeIhave had in my life.Icould stay here for the next two weeks". "It changed me andI will always remember it", said Michael Alvisse, of Kewdale. The next Youth Encounter camp will be for postschool youth on September 19 - 21. For futher information please telephone Fr. Tom Ryan 328 6600 or Katrina Kitchen 349 3675 or write direct to P.O.

Frank Parry(Inglewood) new interim President of the Catholic Singles Club. The Catholic Singles Club is to step up its activities. At an extraordinary meeting last week more than 30 members elected an interim committee to function until the next annual general meeting in December. Frank Parry the interim president, says that six years in the Bedford YCW and six years with the Apex Club will stand him in good stead for the responsibility of president. "In organisations like ours too few people do too much and the work load is not adequately shared" he said this week. Frank was educated at CBC Highgate and now works as a service clerk for Telecom. The new committee consists of Marie Iacomella (secretary), David Boyle (treasurer), Paul Turner, Mary Carr, Bill Jarvis, Mary Karczub, Ann Giles, Mary-Lou Dudley, K eith McEnroe and Sharon Garnsey. All singles Catholics over twenty are eligible for members by ringing Mary Karczub on 381 6886 or writing to P.O. Box T. 163 GPO, Perth. Subscription rate $10. SHARON GARNSEY P.R. for C.S.C.

Notre Dame School at Cloverdale is co-educational and has 243 children from G rades 1 to 7. It was established by the Presentation nuns in 1961.
One of its objectives is to provide a healthy and happy Christian environment where sound Catholic principles are lived out and the children helped to grow and develop their full potential.
Attention is paid to every aspect of the child's welfare — spiritual, physical, intellectual and artistic — in order to develop the whole child. The principal is Sister Eugene who has the assistance of another sister, eight class teachers, a library-resource teacher and two part-time teaching aides. It is a multi-cultural school with double-stream in Grade 3/4. There are a number of Asian pupils, mainly second generation, whom Sister Eugene says are a happy and hard-working bunch who get on very well with the other pupils. The school board and mothers' club raise funds for a variety of items including teaching aids and water coolers.
The current drive is for money for an adventure playground for which the pupils have already raised $2,300 by means of a spellathon. The pupils use and enjoy the library and its audio-visual aids in addition to being keen sports competitors. In the Belmont Netball Association competition the girls recently triumphed by winning all 10 games in their B3 Grade. In the Swan Districts Football Club carnival the boys were placed second out of the 15 teams in their grade. The school had three choirs in the recent Perth eisteddfod and did very well. "We have good liaison with the City of Belmont," Sister Eugene says. "The principals of all the schools in the district meet regularly and these meeetings are attended by the mayor and other council representatives. "Some of our pupils will be in the
massed choir from all the schools in the district and we will present a separate school item at the big concert to be held later this year."

SERVICE FOR THE SHOPPER All Saints Chapel, Allendale Square, is to commence a new Saturday morning service for city shoppers, commencing September 13.
These were among the points developed when 36 members of Christian Life groups attended a live-in weekend at the Sisters of Mercy camp at Rockingham.
There was emphasis on the need for Catholics to spread into the wider community and have a real effect on social issues.

S. Africa backed
The Australian bishops have issued a statement supporting the South African bishops' stand on educational equality. It reads: "The Australian Catholic bishops meeting in Sydney considered a statement on the students' boycott in South Africa issued by the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference. The Australian bishops expressed their support for the South African bishops in the call for educational equality. "The South African bishops pointed to the great inequality between the races in current educational expenditure by the State. "In the 1970s, expenditure on the education of a white child was more than 10 times the educational expenditure on a black child. "The Australian bishops agreed with the Southern African bishops that nothing short of equal distribution of resources will meet the just demands of students humiliated and frustrated by the inequalities of the present system."

Because the Second Vatican Council emphasised the collegial or joint responsibility that bishops have for the church, national conferences of bishops were established in the 1960s. In Australia the meetings take place during the vacation periods at St Paul's Seminary in K ensington NSW that was established by the bishops for mature age candidates for the priesthood. Up to45 bishopsand othersare entitled to attend the six -day Australian meeting. They include the heads of 26 dioceses as well as 13 auxiliary bishops in dioceses. The Catholic Eastern Churches are represented by bishops in t he Ukrainian and Maronite rites. The Australian Armed Services have their own bishop. Because they are separated territories, the abbot or superior of New Norcia and Kalumburu Mission is also entitled to attend even though he is not a bishop. A representative of the religious orders is invited to attend the conference as an observer. T he pope's representative in A ustralia, the Apostolic ProNuncio, attends the meeting only for one session when he addresses the meeting and is informed of any matters that have to be submitted to the pope for consideration. Activities of the conference are co-ordinated through a permanent secretariate in Canberra (PO Box 297, Kingston, ACT 2604).
Checking on priests
More Statistical information about diocesan priests throughout Australia is to be collected. Bishop Joseph O'Connell, secretary/ of the bishops' committee for clergy and religious, gave details during the bishops' meeting. "The results of A Statistical Survey of Diocesan Priests, 1966-1976 were published in 1979," he said. "The first step in a new survey has already been taken. "Material prepared by a small group of priests expert in the field of statistics and surveys had been forwarded to all Australian dioceses. "The results will give a comprehensive picture of the Australian diocesan clergy in terms of numbers, age, qualifications, ministries actually being exercised, ethnic origins." Bishop O'Connell said this demographic information about Australian diocesan priests would help in verifying changing age patterns and questions concerned with the distribution of priests. Diocesan and national planning will be helped greatly, he said especially in:
ODeployment of clergy. •Support and pastoral care of clergy. •Improvement of the effectiveness of their pastoral work. •Improvemet of their spiritual, mental and physical well-being. •Formation of priests.
ORecruitment of priests.
Bishop John Gerry, chairman of Australian Catholic Relief, this week called on Catholics to support the IDEC African Appeal. IDEC is the International Disaster Emergency Appeal. "Australian Catholic Relief is part of this appeal," he said. "In fact, ACR helped initiate it. "We are very conscious of Pope John Paul's plea while he was in Africa for help for people in countries ravaged by drought, famine and war." Bishop Gerry said that these people were in a desparate position. "People who have been to Kampuchea say the African position is worse even than Kampuchea. "A third of the continent is in the grip of drought, famine and war. "It is reported that 20 million people are facing starvation. It has been reported that 20 million people are
The Record, August 28 — September 3, 1980
"The climate was very friendly," Bishop Bede Heather told the Catholic bishops. "It was a conversation between brothers rather than a debate." The subject of the meeting was the booklet, 'Elucidations' the most recent production of the AnglicanRo man Catholic International Corngaission (ARCIC). "We discussed different understandins of the Eucharist — and what ARCIC calls agreement at the level of faith, Bishop Heather said.
"IBelieve" "In other words, ARCIC tried to produce a document in which both Anglicans and Catholics would recognise their Eucharistic faith qnd would be able to say: This is what I believe about the Eucharist. "The commission recognised there would be differences in Eucharistic pracitce between Anglicans and Catholics. An example is reservation of the sacrament. "And they recognised there would b e different of theological expression.
Significance "For example, the word 'transubstantiation' has been used in the Catholic tradition to express the reality of Christ's presence but it has not been familiar in the Anglican tradition. "So ARCIC tried to give expression to the faith both Anglicans and Catholics would recognise. beyond these differences of practice and theological explanation." "The significance of the meeting is that Anglican and Catholic leaders are coming together and attempting to review the work that has beendone by the internation commission and to verify whether or not the documents do, in fact, express the Eucharistic faith we hold," he said.
