Archbishop Goody's offer to the Aboriginal community announced last Sunday will include not only freehold land of the archdiocese but farming improvements into which the archdiocese has put more than $1 million.

T he archbishop made the offer during Mass celebrated for the Nyoongah Cathol ic community last

Sunday and he said it w as up to the Aboriginal community to put up a viable proposition for the future of the

THE LAND OFFERED The former St Francis Xavier Mission territory at Wandering which is still under the control of the archdiocese of Perth comprises the following: • A number of small farm holdings totalling some 535 hectares (1200 acres) which were purchased freeholdin 1946 at m arket value. • A 208 ha (500 acre) site that was granted specifically for the Aboriginal mission and on which substantial buildings were constructed. • An adjacent 3700 ha (9140 acre) property leased in 1964 for 99 years for the benefit of Aboriginal people and which in 1978 passed into the control of the Aboriginal Lands Trust with the lease currently having 78 years to run. In recent y ears some farming development has taken place on this property.

property. In the course of his homily Archbishop Goody said: "I suppose one should put one's money or action where one's mouth is. We have all heard about land rights for Aboriginal people and on this most people of goodwill will say 'Yes'. But what are they exactly? "At June, 1981, some 20.8 million hectares (51.5 million acres) — not all of it by any means good land were held by the Aboriginal Lands Trust either as r eserves, leases or freehold. He said that by comparison the Catholic Church owned very little land most of it in five and ten acre properties for the parishes and schools throughout the state. He then outlined the land held by the Catholic archdiocese at the former St Francis Xavier mission at W andering, comprising 703 ha (1700 acres) of freehold and 3700 hectares (9140 acres) held on lease from the Aboriginal Lands Trust.

in near-famine areas The coming months will be critical for thousands of farming families in South Bihar, India. Once again these hardworking people are facing severe food shortages because their crops failed for lack of rain, and their water resources are so inadequate. Right now they are trying to survive on the crudest of food, having to forage for nuts, bulbs, roots and anything edible. This diet is causing severe malnutrition and widespread sickness. Australian Jesuits working in this drought prone region need all the help they can get to improve food production, and to employ those in need to dig wells in the worst affected areas. Donations will not only assist them to buy food, but will improve water resources for the future. A 50 foot well, with brick lining and concrete parapet, costs about $500. Funds are also urgently required by the Nuns to help them cope with the medical needs of vast numbers of sick people, and to provide nourishing food for school children. Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated. All donations are gratefully acknowledged by: National Director, Father G.

If the Aboriginal Land Rights issue creates more heat than light and gets sympathy but no action from a large section of the population it may be because it is being staged as no more than unrepresentative banner-waving in front of bored television lenses with nothing better to do. There are deeper issues than merely sparring with politicians over legal descriptions . or bureaucratic control, because if land has particular significance to the timeless Aborigine so does it have significance for other timeless human groups from whom present White culture has descended. It was long before our time that it was decided that the line on the ground, the pegs placed ,meticulously at corners, the Rubicon River that was not to be crossed, were all linked with human survival and often at the price of a life. The invasion of Aboriginal or any property is not merely what has happened in the past. Every baby born into the world is an invader into today's property, a squalling bundle who will want rights in today's world, whether it be the mythical Australian right to a suburban lot, to a plush unit in a condominium or to a bed for the weak and infirm in an institution. It is against that scenario that the real issues of Aboriginal land rights will have to be discussed and viewed if it is not to be an exercise merely in one-upmanship. The offer to donate the Wandering property gratis to Aboriginal interests is symbolic but like all symbolism is better if it is couched in the reality that can be seen. Whether idealists like it or not, they too measure their lives in property and money. The larger portion of the Wandering property already belongs to the Aboriginal Lands Trust and even the farming lease is tied to producing funds not for general archdiocesan purposes but for the Aboriginal apostolate — principally the Centrecare Cottage Homes that have replaced the former mission project. The value of the other 500ha that was purchased freehold from earlier farmers in the district can be measured by current values and no doubt would hardly turn the head of today's super-farmer. What needs rather to be measured is the backbreaking effort that went into raising funds for this project after World War II when Church resources were few, when third collections were added to congregations already in debt, when collection tins were rattled in Perth streets, when appeals went to religious orders and other quarters for loans to get the Wandering project under way and rescue it from near collapse. It is a story of 35 years ago when the debt on Wandering soared to £60,000 which must be over $750,000 in today's values; one wonders how many groups today would be prepared to shoulder such a risk (and risk it was, on more than one occasion) for the sake of a vision. It was a vision dreamed up by Archbishop Prendiville, his advisers and the Pallottine missionaries of the day who believed there was some hope of rescuing Aborigines from the metropolitan and country-town squalor that was crippling them. The scheme was planted in the Wandering district that was rich in memories for Aboriginal people who had trekked its paths for centuries. Thus there are Aboriginal adults surviving somewhere in WA today because the mission staff — religious and laity — along with the Aboriginal parents thought it worth the effort to give the children a new chance in education and care. It is time to switch off the phony pop-tune that everything done for Aborigines was wrong, misguided and of no benefit. Wandering was a flower of its times, destined to bloom only for a brief 30 years. Sadly, its real story will lie buried in archives, probably forever. Even what the Aborigines themselves did at Wandering in the past five years appear to be clouded in silence. . For that reason, the next steps in the Wandering story need to be viewed not as some academic exercise in black-white relations but as proof that Christian missionaries have been adaptable for 2000 years. Locally, that means since the day in 1846 -- a century before Wandering — when Bishop John Brady and Dom Rosendo Salvado put their heads together and said that the Aboriginal people were worthy members of the Kingdom of God and worth being told that fact by living dedication.

m. Teresa moues into U.S.

S AN FRANCISCO (NC) — Mother Teresa, of Calcutta, founder of the Missionaries of Charity, has accepted the invitation of Archbishop John Quinn, of San Francisco, to open a novitiate of her order in the city.

The novitiate would probably be established in one of two vacant convents in the Mission District and would

train nuns from the United States and Central America.

Now all novices of the Missionaries of Charity are trained in Rome. Candidates in the United States live in the missionaries' convent in New York City, one of 10 missions of the missionaries in the United States. Three months ago, the missionaries opened a

shelter for homeless women in St Augustine Parish in Newark, N.J., and they have been operating a soup kitchen in the church hall there and visiting the sick and elderly in the parish. Earlier in June, Mother Teresa announced that she would send four sisters to help staff a home for pregnant unmarried women in Little Rock, Ark.

In the USA, sex shops rival hamburger restaurants in numbers, lust apparently rivalling greed for the US dollar; while "men's" magazines outsell such weeklies as Time and Newsweek. This multi-billion porn industry is said to be in criminal hands. National alarm at its growth liasevoked the powerful democratic uprising seen in the Baptistinspired Moral Majority movement. In Sydney, rated the porn capital of Australia, Catholics, Anglicans, and Nonconformists, the Salvation Army and Jewry have joined in campaigns and rallies against pornography and legalising sodomy. Their massive support has gained for Festival of Light leader, Reverend Fred Nile his seat in the Legislative Council. In all states a multifold increase in crimes against women, assault, rape and murder has followed the lowering of censorship barriers by Don Chipp in 1970 as Minister for Excise and Customs. It is difficult to find a modern popular novel in public libraries which does not feature instant fornication as a pattern of social behaviour for our young people to follow: it even spills over into their school books. In the face of these forces of organised evil the efforts of any body of concerned people such as the Festival of I.ight should not be derided or belittled from a holier than thou attitude. It is gratifying that the laity of our Diocesan Pastoral Council is thinking on lines of united public opinion rather than on leaving total responsibility to our Mater et Magistra.

ST PAUL, Minn. (NC) — Faye Buck thought that because she was a divorced mother of two children she could never be accepted in a religious community. But she decided to inquire anyway.

In honour of his mother, Robert Busch of the K of C's St Joseph's Council in Syracuse, a permanent d eacon, announced establishment of the Mary Busch Memorial Fund and gave Bishop Frank J.

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 t ownships. They are not attached to any religious order, fully accepting their Christian duty t o evangelise according to their own individual abilities. Under the patronage and guidance of the Bishop they have their own formally constituted Association and elected Council. Lay Missionaries do not accept a salary, only their keep and pocket money. Their f ares are paid and a small sum on completion of their service.

THE KIMBERLEYS or the Diocese of Broome, is the far North West of Australia, roughly 3 times the size of Victoria. A subtropical region, with a 'wet season through the summer months; of varied terrain with beautiful beaches but a large par taken up by the Great Sandy Desert. Since 1959 many admirable Australians have contributed in no small way to the personal growth and education of the Aboriginal people as lay missionaries. They have formed close and lasting ties.

LAURIE'S LIFE IS LIKE A COOK'S TOUR OF THE WEST T O HAVE his wife as his mistress and to be the only Education Department regional director to operate from a lunch shed are but stimulating the of two experiences enjoyed by Laurie Phillips in his teaching career.

R eviewing his career is tantamount to taking a Cook's tour of Western Australia. In 41 years he served in 12 towns and visited scores more in the course of his duties. born in East Fremantle, Laurie was the youngest of a family of four. "We were nominally Anglicans," Laurie said. He converted to the Catholic faith two years before he married Betty Brenchley. "She was a strong influence in my making the decision," added Laurie. One of his brothers became an Anglican lay preacher and some time later he told Laurie he had taken over as the leader of a group called the Seekers. Laurie's reply in jocular vein was. "I'm in the finders." Laurie left high school in third year during the depression. "Dad was w orking one week in three." he reminisced.

H

E WORKED for the Taxation Department for two years during which time he attained his junior certificate at night school. To sit for a public service examination would not appear today to be a great adventure but in 1934 under the conditions in which he took it it was a great adventure for 15-year-old Laurie. For reasons known only to the government, the examination was held in Northam. "The government paid my train fare and my lodgings at the Avon Bridge Hotel. What luxury." exclaimed Laurie. Of the 40 who sat for the competitive

Public service exam a great adventure examination. Laurie was placed third. The first and second placegetters were employed immediately in the public service but Laurie had to wait. However, by the time a vacancy had come up time and luck had run out for Laurie — he had turned 151/2 which made him too old to be employed on the permanent staff. He left the Taxation Department to do fulltime studies at Perth Technical School and completed his leaving certificate in two years. For the whole of 1938 he had to wait fora position as monitor in the Education Department. Always a keen Pianist, he had at that time achieved Grade 1 and was working towards his A. Mus. A. when Bill Cullighan, a w ell -know n deputy-principal and choir conductor, came into his life and changed its course. "Bill wanted an accompanist for a choir he was training for the schools music festival in His Majestys Theatre a nd he invited me to fill the position." It was not until many years later that I discovered he was then national vice President of the Knights of the Southern Cross, a position I now hold 43 Years later," Laurie said.

By taking up the human reality of the love between husband and wife in all its implications, the sacrament gives to Christian couples and parents a power a nd a commitment to live their vocation as lay people and therefore to "seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and by ordering them according to the plan of God." The social and political role is included in — both through active and responsible involthe kingly mission of service in which Chris- vement in the authentically human growth of tian couples share by virtue of the sacrament society and its institutions, and by supporting in various ways the associations specifically devoted to international issues.

The Christian family also builds up the K ingdom of God in history through the everyday realities that concern and distinguish its state of life. It is thus in the love between husband and wife and between the members of the family — a love lived out in all its extraordinary richness of values and demands: totality, oneness, fidelity and fruitfulness — that the Christian family's participation in the prophetic, priestly and kingly mission of Jesus Christ and of his Church finds expression and realisation. Therefore, love and life constitute the nucleus of the saving mission of the Christian family in the Church and for the Church. The Second Vatican Council recalls this way: it now also involves cooperating for a commandment of love, the Church encournew international order, since it is only in ages and guides the Christian family to the fact when it writes: "Families will share their worldwide solidarity that the enormous and service of love, so that it may imitate and spiritual riches generously with other families dramatic issues of world justice, the ft eedom relive the same self-giving and sacrificial love too.

Part of the virmle Church

LAST month the 252 Catholic Bishops of the United States met for an historic ten-day meeting, not to discuss business but for a spiritual retreat, a time for prayer, reflection and discussion on their lives as bishops. Six specialist papers were presented to them as a basis for their reflection. A summary of them was r eleased for publication following the meeting at St John's University, Collegeville, which was closed to the media. The summaries are printed on this page.

JOB DESCRIPTION IS "IMPOSSIBLE

ISHOPS have an "impossible" job description, but they should not go on "a guilt trip" when they take stock of all the things they are called on to do, Archbishop Rembert Weakland, of Milwaukee told the assembly. After listing an array of tasks the liturgical development in his bishop must fulfill in his role as sanc- diocese. tifier of the Christian community, He asked bishops to reflect on how Archbishop Weakland reminded the they use liturgical opportunities to prelates that in the last analysis their develop their dioceses as living comability to be an instrument for the munities of prayer and worship. sanctity of others depended on their Noting that the celebration of conown sanctity, their own experience firmation has become the main point of union with Christ in dying and of personal contact between the rising. bishop and individual parishes and "It is not just by doing that we fulfill parishioners, he suggested ways in his (Christ's) mission, but by being," which a bishop could expand those he said.

Need to appreciate cultural difference A

FAILURE to appreciate real cultural differences in the practice of the faith can cause "serious problems in the process of evangelisation," Archbishop Robert F. Sanchez, of Santa Fe, N.M., told the U.S. bishops.

Tales of life out on the Nullabor Three hundred miles from the nearest town, with wide open spaces for miles around, Dust and heat and flies untold, Now about life on the Nullabor I'll unfold. People ask how do you live in a place like this, Far away from the gay lights and city bliss, To live here a day would be too much to bear, But of certain things they are unaware. It is said everyone to their own taste, But what is life if you live it in haste, Your pleasures are bought, but on the plains out here Our pleasures are shared and nature is near.

Finding personal fulfillment and performing effectively as wife a nd mother is an enviable achievment and no mean feat. Mary wouldn't say she's there but she's certainly working at it. As the only woman sports writer on the Daily News she's lucky enough to have a job that usually gets her home around 3.30pm ... which gives her important time with her three young sons. A fter the birth of her first child Daniel in 1 973 she stayed home for a couple of years. Second son Benjamin came in 1975 and already she was feeling the need to work again. Mary and husband Danny, took the innovative option of role-swapping. Mary went back to work in 1977 and Danny stayed home. It had its good points and its bad. "In many ways Danny was much more suited to being at home than I was," Mary said. "He is very easy-going and was perfectly happy.

The priest said in addition to his ing for shut-ins and people in nursing homes, he is viewed as somewhat of an authority on marriage counselling. "It seems that any couple with marriage problems is referred to me when they come to the rectory," said Father McCarty. "I guess after 44 years of marriage, someone must think I know a lot."

Bishop Philip Kennedy believes that the Church's capacity to speak and act effectively depends to a large degree on what ; congregations read in the religious press of their Church. i

• . Good ,Proclaiming 1 1News in words On Ascension Day and on the days which follow we Christians have in mind Jesus' words: "But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1: 7,8). We wait for their fulfillment on Pentecost, on that day Christ sent the H oly Spirit from the Father to exercise inwardly his saving influence a nd to begin the spread of the Church. He came down on the disciples, "the Advocate to be with (the Church) forever, that Spirit of Truth" (Ju. 14:16). That day saw the Church openly displayed to the crowds and the spread of the gospel among the nations begun. The two scenes I have referred to put us in the midst of communication: the communication of the Spirit and the witnessing to the Gospel. The basic reality on which the Church is founded is a mystery of communication: the communication of divine life to men and women through the incarnate life of Jesus Christ. Jesus as a divine person is God the communicator: he is the eternal word — the communicative self expression of God the Father. As incarnate Word, Jesus is the. one who communicates through his bodily presence in our midst by speaking, by making gestures, by his whole style of life and especially by the events of his death and resurrection. He is, in the words of Revelation, "the faithful witness." Through his incarnation, death and resurrection as media, we are put in contact with the good news of his saving coming, passion and exaltation. The rich variety of ways by which Christ communicated sug-

gests that the Church too, His Body, may use all the possibilities of communication at hand in a given culture. His Body communicates not only by proclamation and formal teaching but also by dramatic action; by doing what it does and by being what it is. The whole Body and the individual Christian, then, are witnesses. And, in our day to day experience, a witness is a person who says "I know this is true." In a law court for example a person can not give in evidence a second hand story; it must be that person's own experience. Secondly, the real witness is not one of just words but of deeds. People today listen more willingly to witnesses than to teachers and if they do listen to teachers it is because they are witnesses. So witness of life is of primary importance if the world is to take any notice at all of the Christian message. Take a Christian man or woman or a group of Christians in a community. They show their ability to understand and accept others. They share fully in the life and destiny of all. They join with others in their efforts to bring about what is noble and good. In addition let us suppose they radiate quite simply and unaffectedly their faith in values that go beyond current values and their hope in something unseen which goes beyond all human imaginings. Through this wordless witness these Christians stir up questions in the hearts of those who see how they live.

A n address by Bishop Philip Kennedy, of Adelaide, to a meeting of the Religious Press Association of Australia held recently in Adelaide. These others must ask: Why are they like this? Why do they live in this way? What or who inspires them? Such a witnessing is a silent proclamation of the Good News involving presence sharing and solidarity with others. Yet this silent wintessing remains insufficient because even at its finest it will prove ineffective in the long run if it is not explained, justified — what Peter called "always have your answer ready for people who ask you the reason for the hope that you all have." The Good News silently witnessed to sooner or later has to be proclaimed by word. There is no true evangelising if the name, the teaching, the life, the promises, the Kingdom and the mystery of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, are not proclaimed and explained. I see the importance of the religious press in the context of evangelising by Christian men and women, boys and girls in their ordinary daily lives. I believe they seek the Kingdom of God by engaging in ordinary day to day affairs and by ordering them according to the plan of God. I believe they are called to work for the evangelising and santification of the world from within as a leaven. So they make Christ known to others and "impress the divine

law on the affairs of the earthy city" (Gaudium et Spes 43). It is my belief then, that the Church speaks to and acts upon the world primarily through lay men and lay women. Without a dynamic and well informed laity conscious of its ministry to the world, the Church, in effect, neither speaks nor acts. The Church's capacity to speak and to act effectively depends to a large degree on what the men and women of our congregations read in the religious press of their Church. Christians find in that press - news, opinions and background articles about all facets, problems and worries of modern life judged in the light of Christian principles. It is hard to see how Christians can evaluate clearly contemporary events unless they are regular readers of the religious press. It is hard to see how Christians

can know what is happening in the life of the Church from the sermon alone. The latter can inform and inspire to some extent but those on mi§sion to our sophisticated and hostile society need the confidence which deepened and widened information alone can provide. The source of depth and width, it seems to me, lies in the religious press. It is there too, in the religious press, that we can find so often inspiration from accounts of the lives of men and women who are the Christian saints of our day, and confidence from the pulsing life of the Church in all the world shown in so many aspects. Without you dedicated men and women of the religious press Christ's witnesses would be much weakened today, His voice enfeebled and His Ascension Day prophecy rendered almost improbable. May the Holy Spirit comfort and inspire you in your service of the Church and the world. •-•-•-•-•1
