At its meeting the Diocesan Pastoral Council also received reports of meetings and discussions among members on the plan of action for the pastoral care of families. This strategy was developed as a result of a series of discussions held by the Australian Bishops Conference and heads of religious orders in WA who identified the care of families as one of the most pressing needs of the Church.

HOBART — Father Peter Rushton, 54, the first married priest of the Latin rite in an English-speaking country, died suddenly on September 17. He was parish priest of South Hobart.
Father Rushton made history when, in October 1969, he was ordained priest by Archbishop Young of Hobart, being married with three children at the time and having been an Anglican clergyman until entering the Catholic church in 1956. His wife became a Catholic some time previously. Father Rushton's ordination preceded (only by a few weeks) the similar ordination in Perth by Archbishop Goody, of three married men all of whom had been former Anglican clergy. Father Rushton's hopes of becoming a Catholic priest were delayed for over 10 years until the Australian bishops moved his application forward in 1966 to receive the approval of Pope Paul VI in the following year.

KIMBERLEY LAY MISSIONARIES
WHAT ARE THEY? They start by being average practical Catholics prepared to share whatever expertise they have with the Aboriginal children and adults of the North-West of Australia. They serve the Church, placing themselves at the disposal of the Bishop, "as vicar and legatee of Christ", (Vat II, P382), and assist him in a spirit of dedication. They give themselves totally for 2 years, living in groups, co-operating in fraternal love in the spirit of the Gospels, serving on isolated missions and townships. They are not attached to any religious order, fully accepting their Christian duty to evangelise according to their own individual abilities. Under the patronage and guidance of the Bishop they have their own formally constituted A ssociation and elected Council. Lay Missionaries do not accept a salary, only their keep and pocket money. Their fares are paid and a small sum on completion of their service.

Record Midst massive waves of publicity surrounding CHOGM this week and the froth of many local celebrations that enveloped Social Justice Sunday last week it/s a pointless task looking even for ripples from the release of the annual social justice statement. The 1981 document, Partners, was circulated widely several weeks ago but apart from one good exposure on 6WF has received virtually no notice in the press or other media. This fact ought to sober the enthusiasts who plead continually for statements by church leaders and agencies without recognising that unless such statements are abrasively critical of persons or events they are not going to appeal to the modern overstimulated news palate. The annual statements of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace do not necessarily receive a kind hearing even within Catholic circles. Recent efforts to deal with very current problems such as unemployment, Aborigines, and poverty were loudly attacked by Catholics. This need not be a bad thing in itself, proving merely that those who are courageous enough to venture into social justice issues are mortal and fallible too. It is also a warning to the wider Church that it cannot forever shrink from analysing the daily issues that do not fit comfortably into the theology manual or the prayer book. With yet another penetrating encyclical Pope John Paul shows that he will not relinquish the task of Leo X11190 years ago, or Pius XI50 years ago seeking answers to the issue of wealth and work. When tardy Catholic sources get around to distributing that encyclical, dogmatic Catholics will be upset to find no clear cut answers, nor will it satisfy the self indulgent who are never satisfied unless churchmen are saying what they want to hear. The Statement, Partners, dealing with A ustralia's relationship with vast Asian and Pacific populations around us, is more than timely and appropriate for CHOGM where only a few faces are white Anglo-Saxon but the majority black and brown, African and A sian. Partners asks Australians if they are prepared to be realpartners, not just alms-givers with near Asian neighbours in the eradication of poverty, injustice and exploitation in countries which are slipping further and further behind in the economic stakes. This is not the musing of celestial churchmen. It is the message being spoken by perceptive politicians around the globe and Prime Minister Fraser is not being novel in alerting Australia to these facts. Of what consolation is it to read that by 2055 Australia's population may reach no more than 24 million, barely half of Mr. Hayden's hope? How will Indians and Indonesians look at such a resource-rich country like this grappling with its so-called problems.? What pride can Australians take in the news to be heard at CHOGM that the promised 0.7% of Australia's Gross National Product destined for overseas aid is still sliding back at 0.45%.? The local distractions abound: trying to shower under a trickle, agonising over interest payments until sufficiently wealthy to become a lender instead of a borrower, being horrified that Asians want to sell us goods as well as purchase our resources. It is easy to use the very difficult Aboriginal problem as an emotional crutch for indignation as though the question of land rights thereby defers the plight of millions of others who live only a hair's breadth from starvation. Partners points out wisely that there willbe a genuine will to solve the poverty andinjustices of Australian society when we are prepared to look honestly at situations across our oceans. Politicians have very sensitive ears and until they hear the correct noises in the electorates they will not be making themselves unpopular. Partners is the ripple that can stir ordinary Australians to become a voice crying for others. 4 The Record, October 1-7, 1981

Britons take firm stance BIRMINGHAM, England (NC) — A call fora strong condemnation of nuclear weapons by the C atholic Church, a strong commitment to development work in the Third World and a renewed call for a more liberal Vatican policy on general absolution were among the main results of the 1 2th annual meeting of the National Conference of Priests.
REPORTS US bishops DENIED
V ATICAN CITY (NC) — The Vatican has stated firmly that it had "never made statements or expressed theories" that any group or government might have been behind Mehmet Ali Agca's attempt to assassinate Pope John Paul 11. The announcement came in response to newsmen's questions concerning reports that the KGB (Soviet secret p olice) or Eastern European countries had engineered the attack. A British news programme "TV Eye" had speculated that the Soviets were worried about the impact of the pope's strong defence of Solidarity, the Polish labour union.
want end to arms race
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (NC) — Backing Bishop Leroy T. Mattheisen's statement against the neutron warhead, 12 other Texas bishops have issued a joint statement calling for a halt to the nuclear arms race.

"Is it, as many Christians seem to feel, a destructive role, or is the media a gift from God, and how seriously does the Church in Australia take the media in its own work of spreading Christ's 'good news'?"

E ASSISTS HER OWN FOLK
Being black is something Leonie Coxs has had to deal with every day of her life. "Aborigines have to learn — the sooner the better — that we will always come across the person who is ready to humiliate us because of the colour of our skin," Leonie reflected philosophically.
"I remember how muchIhad beneAttending the Pallottine Centre in Perth gave Leonie the opportunity fited from my years at the centre and to mix with other cultures and gauge I knew it was a real way of helping my people overcome many difficultheir lifestyles against her own. ties," she said.

She had no trouble slipping back and now being on the other side of into her niche in the town but city life the fence allows me to see things had whet her appetite for better more clearly," Leonie said. "My role here is like that of a bridge things — ambition soared within trying to link two different masses. I her. "I worked in lots of places, but they try to make the kids and staff realise never satisfied me because I never felt as though I was contributing to the welfare of my people," Leonie ,(41" said.
Pallotine relieving house mother Leonie Coxs was born in Broome in 1953. She attended St Mary's in Broome and in 1961 she received a grant to attend the Pallottine Centre in Perth. A fter three years here she returned to Broome and worked in many a varied occupation. In 1973 she did a nursing-aide training course. The following year she worked as teaching assistant at St Mary's and in 1980 she was home economics teacher assistant at Nulungu College. For the past year she has been living in Perth with her two little boys, Preston (7) and Trevor ( 4), and working at the Pallottine Centre.
By A NABEL G OMEZ So in 1973 she enrolled in a nursing-aide course in Port Hedland in the hope that some day she would go into the outback and nurse her people who, as Leonie and experts have said, have immense problems dealing with European diseases because their bodies do not have natural immunisation. During that period Leonie broke from the Church. "I could no longer relate to God on a personal basis and I felt that some of the tradition that had left the Church had destroyed its meaning," Leonie said. A way from home and from the Church Leonie let lose all her inhibitions, and she found herself on a "wild streak." Straight after finishing her nursing-aide training course she became pregnant. "I have never regretted having my two boys. They are the source of much of my happiness," Leonie said. "Although I have never been able to put my nursing training to professional use it always comes in handy around here. There is always a child with a cut, graze or headache." Currently enrolled in a general education course at Mt Lawley Teachers' College, Leonie was once enrolled in a teaching aides correspondence course which equipped her for her next job as a teacher's assistant. "I really enjoyed helping the kids. I would take small classes on specified subjects in which I had shown extra ability and I would give individual tutoring to any child who was falling behind," she said. "All the children would reach out to me and even though they were mixed I never experienced any rejection from the eight to 10-year-olds. "Eventually I was going to go into full-time teacher training, but my involvement with the Pallottines has changed my ideas, but not my aim to help people." Each year at the end of term Father "Eddie" Edward goes to the Kimberleys to enroll students for the Perth Pallottine Centre. His 1980 visit put ideas into Leonie's head, and soon after she wrote to him explaining her socio-economical position and asking for work.

"Some of the girls tend to shy away from their house mothers at first and they prefer to tell their problems to someone like themselves who has a better understanding of their problems. "Being from the same or similar background as these kids and being Aboriginal gives me a common ground of experience which the girls recognise. When I'm told of a problem I try to make the girls realise how lucky they are to have this opportunity and try to help them solve it. But I also make sure the house mother is made aware and included in the matter if possible. "All the people at the centre respect our culture and never force us to go against our traditional learnings and feelings." Leonie says the centre has undergone many structural changes and all the amenities such as a library and hall have superseded anything they might have had. Her attitude towards the house mothers has changed drastically.
The Record, October 1-7, 1981
"When I was a student here I thought all the house mothers were out to get you, but now I realise that any punishment I. received was for my own good," Leonie smiled. "I just hope that the girls and boys learn to benefit from what is available to them — and that the growth and expansion that they are exposed to makes them want to share their new skills with our people. "Although many of the children have their futures pre-determined for them along traditional lines of marriage, many others can help our people by furthering their education and becoming skilled professionals in positions which will enable us to help ourselves. "Unfortunately our culture is starting to deteriorate in many parts, mainly because young people don't see the value of having a tradition and roots. "We have to have a pride in who and what we are, and these kids are given a sense of pride and an opportunity to help others develop this," Leonie finished.
BELOW: Watch out Arnold Palmer! "No," says Leonie, "mini-golf is not my forte." It seems that Leonie's spectators are a little sceptical of her mini-golf ability also.

The YCW boxing clubs have been so successful that they are now recognised as semi-professional clubs. In Perth the YCW has 2 to 4 basketball teams depending on the season. The teams are made up f rom members, past members, friends and relatives of members. The mens' teams have been together for a few years and are experienced players. On the other hand, the ladies' teams have only recently been organised and are showing all the signs of being equal to, if not better than their c ounterparts. At the present time, there is an urgent need for c oaches to help in the coming season as two mens' and womens' teams have been entered in the Swan Basketball Association competition, so if you have any experience in basketball coaching, and are interested in helping, please phone Andrew Van Vugt on 444 5417.

important matters in which the model breaks down. Would this not be the case especially with regard to adapting? A musician who has perfected his interpretation of a work will no doubt perform it in exactly the same way in Berlin, Tel Aviv or Sydney. But the really good religious educator will be constantly adapting the presentation to a particular class: age, stage of maturity, ethnic background, even the time of the year and the mood of the day —all of these and a dozen other variables will register on the sensitive antennae of a good religious educator. Without departing by so much as a whisker from the fullness of Catholic doctnnal truth, she or he will be alive always to the need to register what works and what does not work: in this, would you have said, more akin to the actordirector than to the concert pianist? •
