V ATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II has called for a re -affirmation of belief in the 1600-yearold statement ". . . the Holy Spirit, Lord and Giver of Life."

He wants to stress the fact that the statement, used in the Nicene Creed by all major Christian churches, is the common faith of the whole of Christianity. He also wants the ation of faith with him He said that he does not want these two early church to re-affirm the on that day. to be rememcouncils The year 1981 is the 1550-year -old statebered as events in the ment that Mary is the 1 600th anniversary of p ast but to be an First Council of ConMother of God, Jesus the stantinople which made a cknowledgement that being "conceived of the first definitive state- the teachings of the the Holy Spirit and ment about the Holy Second Vatican Council born of the Virgin Spirit proceeding from are based on the teachings of those councils.

The renewal of the church, he says in a 22page letter issued this week, can be carried out only in the Holy Spirit, with the aid and light of his power. "There is no doubt that at the present stage of the history of the church a nd of humanity, a deeper need is felt to go deeper into and to give new life to the truth about the Holy Spirit," his letter continues. "The gathering at St. Mary Major Basilica on the late afternoon of Pentecost Sunday will be reminiscent of the gathering of the Apostles with Mary in the Upper Room," he said.

Pope John Paul's letter to bishops on re-affirming belief in the Holy Spirit and the Motherhood of God refers often to the history of early councils that proclaimed these truths. *The First Council of Constantinople in 381 was the second of the church's ecumenical or general councils, the most recent being the Second Vatican Council, 1962-65. That council in 381 issued the so called "Nicene" Creed that is now recited in the liturgies of most of the Chrisian churches both east and west. * The council held at Nicaea near Constantinople in 325 was the first general council of the Church. Arius had claimed that Jesus was not of the Godhead and he was condemned as a heretic by the 318 bishops at Nicaea who said that Jesus was of the "substance" o the Father — a word that later created difficulties in interpretation. Division continued in the church for many years until the second general council, at Constantinople in 381, put an end to any misunderstanding. "It elucidated the mystery of the Holy Spirit and his origin from the Father, thus affirming the unity and equality in divinity of the Holy Spirit with the Fathe and the Son," Pope John Paul stated in his letter. Later, the Eastern Orthodox churches separated from the Catholic Church over the phrase ". . . proceeds from the Father AND FROM THE SON". The western retention of the latter words has been an obstacle to re-union ever since.

The Council of Ephesus in 431 was the third ecumenical or general council of the church. It opened on June 7, 431, on which Pentecost fell that year as it co-incidentally does in the year 1981, Pope John Paul notes. The monk Nestorius preached that in Jesus there were two distinct persons, human and divine and aroused anger by saying that Mary was, therefore, mother only to the human person. The Council condemned him as a heretic by reaffirming the doctrine of Nicaea that Jesus is both God and man, but in the one personality, and that Mary can be called the Theotokos, The Bearer of God, rendered devotionally as Mother of God.

Pictured against a tall gum tree, the new church of St Augustine at Pinjarra has been designed by architect Tony O'Hara to recall the themes of the early housing in the district. A steeply-pitched colorbond steel roof sweeps down to a large verandah area tor public gatherings and from which large windows allow people inside the building to feel in touch with both areas. Black -speckled red bricks set off the exterior while inside cream pastel bricks contrast with the exposed steel portal frame and the high ceiling following the rake of the roof. A floor sloping to the sanctuary increases the sense of space. The price of the construction was around $90,000.

Funds raised by diocesan appeals and other initiatives such as $3,309 in 1980 have been backed by a $20,000 grant from the Lotteries Commission. The Anglican parish of St. Boniface has donated funds that enabled the purchase of a portable airconditioner and Bunbury Rotary Club have made possible the purchase of a telephone call diverter than enables Centrecare staff to be on call over a a 24-hour period. Sr. Glenys said that the aim was not to restrict Centrecare activity to Bunbury and it was prepared to move out to other areas provided counselling services were not already being covered by other organisations. A fortnightly service in Wagin has been suggested and Katanning or Narrogin are being studied as a base for operation. On the other hand Bunbury Centrecare is prepared to conduct area workshops in subjects such as: E ffective Parenting, Communication and Family Relationships, Wholeness and Healing Workshops — Gospel Values, Alcoholism and Drug Dependency, Pre-Marriage Workshop, SelfAwareness Work with Teenagers, Relaxation Workshops.

Even before the present war started, the living conditions for the majoirty of people in El Salvador were considered to be extremely bad. Mr. Michael Whiteley, National Director of ACR, said that for the people who are uprooted by the war, from the few possessions they had, the situation is intolerable.

Refugees protected Christian Churches in El Salvador had combined to provide immediate assistance for the refugees in San Salvador and the other cities to which they came for protection. The Catholic Church in El Salvador had appealed to all Catholic agencies t hroughout the world for funds so that they could adequately care for these displaced people. Mr Whitely said the ACR was anxious to provide all the support is could. Because aid was being channelled through existing Church structures, it w ould be used immediately and with the greatest possible effect.

Rehecord In England two years ago the world's first 'testtube' baby arrived and The Record said "Welcome Louise Brown". This attitude has not changed and will not change towards her and a number of children who have followed her. Precisely because they are human beings and not the products of a glass dish in a laboratory the Catholic Church willpreach and defend the right of them and every other conceived being to live. That is not a blanket endorsement of medical specialists or parents involved in these programmes. The Brown parents regrettably played their own media game and the specialists who attended them built their own wall of professional silence. There have been endless graphical descriptions of implantation but not so much information on the conception processes. It is now becoming quite clear from specialists' comments that multiple conceptions are taking place in laboratories and it can only be presumed that unacceptable embryos are being allowed to die. The news this week that Melbourne's Queen Victoria Medical Centre is freezing embryos against future possibilities for implantation can only provoke feelings of revulsion quite apart from issues of morality. Professor Singer says that the researchers will now begin looking at the ethical question of what to do with fertilised embryos that are not implanted. He says that there has been very little ethical discussion in the community about "how we should react to these questions". This must be surely the height of presumption and superiority by technocrats who bow to no-one. How can the community react if it has not known what these technicians intended to do? How frank have they been with their information on discarded and malformed embryos? The community has one simple question to ask: Who gave them permission to start these hair raising experiments with human life? To say that they need no-one's permission is the heart of the personalist argument that has taken o ver issues of human life whether in abortion or euthanasia. The specialists or the parents in question who simply state that they see nothing wrong with their course of action ask too much of human tolerance. The public need not be conned by pictures of a gurgling attractive baby that are supposed to wipe the slate clean of whatever has gone on before. The attitude that a woman's body is entitled to carry a baby no matter what the cost is not far removed from an attitude that an unwanted baby should be removed no matter what the cost. The notion that any human being is entitled to be a parent no matter what the effort or whose surrogate body is used for the mothering process is not far from the parent who can't be bothered coping with the children they have. In all cases it is a personalised morality that bows to no-one except the individual woman or man. The anguish of a sterile couple deserves compassion, especially when modern techniques can diagnose if not cure the complaint. But the long queues of people seeking abortion as well as those seeking babies to adopt is an example of the breakdown of any sort of community morality in this area. The Catholic Church does not have to have all the answers. Teaching that every human being is spiritual in the sight of God will not answer every level of complexity in the makeup of the human psyche, soul or personality. The human being in the full bloom of health has an inviolable right to live. This does not cease in wrinkled old age; it was not acquired in the struggle for birth; it was not suddenly established at implantation or other embryonic moment. It occurred the moment the cells fused in conception and this position is as much one of faith as technology because it is the frontier where no human can tread. The test tube researchers plead that their cause is starved of funds. The beamingparents say it was all worth the effort. If human embryos have been discarded like so much surgical detritus simply to bring about a desired conception, the cost has been too high. It is not morally justified. • • 26 John Street, Perth WA 6000 The • Correspondence The Editor, The Record, PO Box 50 • Aberdeen Street, Perth, 6000 Advertising. • Vanguard Service Telephone 328 1388 registered for posting as a newspaper Category "A" (111 Produced in WA • Printed and published weekly by Edward vanHeemst, • 26 John Street, Perth • Estahl,shed 1874 •

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (NC) — Archbishop Paul Poupard, newly appointed propresident of the Vatican Secretariat for Non-Believers, has called a plenary meeting of the commission's episcopal members in Rome to discuss Science and Unbelief in the Present Day.

• Mr John Magee, Chief Operations Manager for Telecom in WA.

L eft: It is unlikely that John Magee, or any other Telecom engineer, would site a phone box on a verandah of a suburban private house — like this one which was bought as a souvenir.

The Asian connection a live wire

The long arm of coincidence brought at least one happy result f or John Magee during his engineering cadetship days with the PMG. D uring the year he spent in Melbourne as part of his training he met a n urse from New Norcia n amed Bernadette T hompson, who was d oing a midwifery c ourse. They eventually married.

John cl imbed the PMG engineering ladder through experience in fields such as P lanning, construction, cable p rotection, district works, metropolitan and country operations and services and was a ppointed to his present position in 1979.

The Magee family spent part of 1 969, 1970 and 1971 in Indonesia, to Which John had been seconded from t he PMG, under the Colombo Plan, as a member of the Australian Teleco mmunications Mission. In Bandung (where they lived) the Magees, through the WA Correspondence School, virtually had a section of the State's education system in their backyard. For a start, at least, the older two Children thought the correspon-

By BOB BOYLE dence lessons were a great lark — sort of a year's holiday from school. But they got a rude shock when their first papers were marked back in Perth. The discerning experts in the correspondence school sensed their s omewhat lackadaisical attitude and, through their father, issued a stern admonition to the children which had the desired effect. The backyard school was run on orthodox lines with lessons between 7.30 am and 2 pm supervised by an Indonesian girl from a university. In addition to absorbing their normal learning, under her tutelage and through talking with the servants, the children became fluent in the country's official Bahasa Indonesian language and the local Sundanese dialect.

Microwave John found the Indonesian people very friendly, and his job was a professional challenge because of the range of problems involved.

Mr John Joseph Magee is Chief Operations Manager for Telecom Australia in WA. Born in Perth, he was educated at the Dominican Convent at Meekatharra, the Mr Barker State School, the Mt Barker Convent, the Narrogin Convent and Aquinas College. On leaving Aquinas he worked for a short time with the Taxation Department before joining the old PMG where he was appointed a cadet engineer. He combined the PMG course with University of WA studies to become a chartered engineer. He has been a parish council member of Our Lady of Lourdes Church at Nollamara, chairman of its finance committee and of the board of Our Lady of Lourdes School. He is just finishing a three-year term as treasurer of the P and F of the Sacred Heart school at Sorrento. He and his wife Bernadette, who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary last year, have been active in the Marriage Encounter movement. He was WA branch chairman of the Commonwealth Professional Officers' Association, and on its State executive for a number of years. Mr and Mrs Magee have a son and three daughters ranging in age from 22 to 17.

It was interesting to work with the Indonesian Government people in fields such as planning and cable and microwave projects for which Australia had supplied the material, and there was solid back-up and cooperation from the PMG Department back home.

Ursuline The Magees made close friends in Indonesia, particularly with one of the Ursuline sisters who had lived in Australia for some years, and Anne their youngest daughter made her First Communion in Bandung. There was admiration for the facility with languages possessed by many of the Indonesians they met on business and socially. A number had been educated in Holland and spoke excellent Dutch, and often their English was far better than the Magees' Indonesian. On returning to Australia after their period away, via Singapore on the ship Centaur, their initial impressions of their native land were its lack of greenery and dearth of people — far different to the environment in which they had lived for more than a year.

John realised when he was there that Indonesia's communications problems had been compounded by the war and, later, by the years of bitter division associated with the independence movement. It had been engaged in internal strife when the rest of the world was taking advantage of the substantial technological advances that had been made in communications.

However, it is confident of progress through what has already been achieved and continuing technical developments are taking place. Telecom has just announced a fiveyear programme that will bring automatic telephoning to the bulk of the State.

Trunkline

It is building microwave trunkline systems through the North-West and Kimberleys which are major works by world standards. It is expanding the microwave comchain with the Eastern munication He says Telecom in WA faces a States — one of the longest in the number of difficulties. world. Telecom has plans for new small Demands business telephone systems, and it is continually trying to bring to custoOne is meeting growing customer mers the benefits of technological needs while containing costs and advances in addition to modernising keeping charges down. existing facilities.

After his return John advanced through the various grades in his profession leading up to his present appointment.

A second is the low population density in the vast distances that have to be covered. It is encountering the problems of any big business competing for capital and experiencing strong growth demands for its products.

All this and many other professional activities are involved in John Magee's working hours, but he likes to spend as much time as possible with wife Bernadette and family Stephen (22), Clare (21), Helen (19) and Anne (17).

CLEVER

Mrs Elaine Hart (nee McCormack) was for six years on the parish council of the Corpus Christi Church at Melville-Myaree and its president for three years. She was on the inaugural board of Santa Maria College, and the convenor of the sub-committee that examined the question of building the new boarding school there. A s a Majellan at Corpus Christi, she was a member of the central committee andState president of the movement. She was a member of the steering committee that set up the Diocesan Pastoral Council, was vice-president of theFremantle CBCP andF,president of the SantaMaria tuckshop committee during which time the tuckshop became self-supporting, and she is now on the liturgy committee at Corpus Christi. Born in Victoria Park, she started her schooling at Grass Valley andfinished it at St Columba 's, South Perth. She was prominently associated with the YCW, captained and coached Catholic women's State basketball teams, and was president of the Catholic women's basketball association. Her husband, Bernie, and she have two daughters and three sons whose ages range from 20 to 12.

Always being the 'Hart' of the problem Elaine McCormack, as she was then, worked as a dressmaker for six years on leaving St Columba's at South Perth before becoming a telephonist -receptionist with the Department of Civil Aviation at Perth Airport for four years. It was an exciting time because the new airport terminal, which was to become the best in Australia, was then in the planning stages. During this stage, in 1959, she met and married her husband Bernie. Before that she had worked for what is now the YCW in the South Perth and Kensington parishes, and became deeply involved with women's basketball. S he achieved some eminence as captain and, later, as coach of the Catholic Women's State basketball team and president of the Catholic association. She went to Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia on three separate tours with State teams. "In those days, the NCGM had basketball groups which it used as contact areas to spread its message. Girls were invited to come along to play basketball as an introduction. "The movement had 1,500 girls playing the game, and there were 90 school teams in a separate competition. "However, once you were married, you had to resign as a player. Elaine coached netball (as women's basketball has now become) at the schools her daughters attended, and husband Bernie has managed football teams at their sons' schools. Between them, the Harts have had some busy sporting weekends. Of her work on the Santa Maria board, Elaine says the original idea was to upgrade the existing boarding school to cater for the 108 girls it housed. Investigation revealed, however, that a better proposition would be to build an entirely new boarding school, and use existing facilities in the old boarding school for classrooms and administration. This decision solved the problem of what to do with the boarders while the new complex was being built. "In any case it would have cost almost as much to upgrade the old accommodation as to build the new boarding school, Elaine said. To see the new complex in partial operation from the beginning of this school year has been a great thrill for Elaine. "Country parents are very happy to see their daughters in such vastly improved surroundings."

Facilities Two of the planned four houses of the complex are now in operation with complete support facilities and the ultimate plan is to accommodate 150 boarders. She pays a tribute to the men on the board who have devoted so much of their time and skill to the project on a voluntary basis. Another great experience for Elaine, and her family, happened last year when they took into their home her terminally-ill father-in-law and looked after him until he died. It was something she could not have done, she says, had she been out at work. 10

Group meetings

The youth scene this week

Jesus Christ superstar I was talking with a five year old page boy at a reception and as the conversation went on the band struck up a tune. The little boy's eyes sparkled and he blurted out the fact that he had just acquired a new record which was called "I was made for loving you".

I chuckled at these words that came from this child, dressed in an immaculate suit and looking so sophisticated. Here we have a miniature Robert Redford I thought to myself. Jesus wasn't a film star and He didn't drive a cadillac and He didn't see Hollywood. Yet on Palm Sunday, looking not the least bit sophisticated, He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. He began a journey which would ultimately lead to His execution. It is this week in the life of Jesus that poets and playwrights have been trying to capture with varying degrees of success. Love one another as I have loved you, are words which have rung out through the ages, because they are

verified in the events which took place during this week. So in these next few days we will have the opportunity to reflect on the fact that Jesus was made simply for us, for you and me, to love and to be loved. To define love or express it adequa tley is virtually impossible. Bette Middler in the Rose says that love is a river that drowns the tender reed, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed. Everybody says it differently and here is another try:Love, who are you, what are you? The question is running through my head Mysterious and delirious things of you are said. What is it that makes you so elusive, So unmistakenly exclusive? That to find you is like gold In youth, middle age or in old The feelings of youth are so intense Firing passion while lacking c ommonsense. Middle age contains the dangerous years Full of indiscretion and subconscious fears To be old is not to be a sage It's just that you're coming to the last page Love, what epitaph can Igive you WillI ever touch or come near you?

THIS WEEK: St Benedict's school

Extra curricula activities held

St Benedict's School at was founded in rdross A 1953 and was run by the C ongregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of the M issions who were involved until 1974.

The school now has a lay s taff of six full-time and one part-time teachers. The principal is Miss Patricia A. Higgs. Primary classes from year one to year seven are conducted, and boys are now being retained through to year seven. Currently there are 11 boys in years five and six. School enrolment for 1981 is 165 children from about 100 families. Specialist teachers come in to teach piano, violin and guitar. Tennis lessons are held each term as an optional extra. Takahiro Wakamatsu, one of the State's leading gymnasts, conducts five sessions each week for children wishing to learn gymnastics.

St Benedict's endeavours to provide an environment where students can develop a truly Christian character, and where teachers have the overall spiritual and academic welfare of the child as their interest. Parents are always welcome and teachers endeavour to encourage parents in the interest and development of their children.

School masses are held each fortnight with many parents in attendance. Each class group takes a turn in preparing the liturgy for these Masses. Sacramental programmes for Reconciliation and the Eucharist are held each year starting with a Paraliturgy at which parents present their child for enrolment. The school then works in liaison with parents through the preparation for these Sacraments. Father J. O'Reilly, Applecross parish priest, is of great support to all staff members and always available for guidance and assistance.

The renovation of the floor gave the parish priest, Father James Petry, the perfect opportunity to put Gemma's suggestion into effect for the sake of her grandmother who attends St Peter's church.

In many Third World countries there are government agricultural programs designed to improve food production. But too often it is only large land owners who benefit because they can afford to put in irrigation schemes and buy the fertilizers required. Poorer farmers can't compete. Their farms are small — usually no more than 2 acres. They often have to deal through middle men to sell their produce and must borrow money at high interest rates to buy seeds and fertilizers. Many find it impossible to provide for their families' basic needs. Catholic DevelopMent agencies in countries like Bangladesh, Korea and Thailand are helping farmers to form co-operatives. By working together, small farmers can make better use of their lands and have more control over the sale of their produce.
