"Many committees appear to meet only for the purpose of deciding when the : next committee meeting will be held," Bill 3 laughed. "Meetings should be semi-formalised and should have a structured mechanism for decision making." Bill contends that the need for efficient communication does not only exist in business but * also in family life. "Much family breakdown * can be attributed to lack of communication," * he added.
Freemason "We married at Esling Abbey in 1957." Jean was born in India where her father, William Henderson, was chief superintendent of the East India Railways. A member of the Church of Scotland, he was a high-ranking Freemason. However, like Bill's mother, Jean's was a Catholic and the family were brought up in that religion. Her mother lives in London and will be 86 next month. "In 1947 Jean's father died suddenly. It was the time of the independence uprisings in India so her mother decided to return to England with Jean and her two brothers. "Jean was then 12 and had never seen England. It was a traumatic upheaval for the family which had always had servants to attend to all household matters including cooking," said Bill. "On arrival in England, a guardian appointed by the Freemasons was of great assistance to the family," said Bill. "He was an Orthodox Jew and insisted on the family continuing in their religion and attending Catholic schools." As overseas delegate of the Dutch pharmaceutical company, Organon, Bill was based in Deventer but Jean and the children lived in England. "I commuted between Amsterdam and Ealing," laughed Bill. "At one stage I spent nine months solid travelling around the world including Communist bloc countries." He found the communists "very correct" in their business dealings but "they always paid on time," laughed Bill. On a visit to Algiers, Bill arrived on the day that President Ben Bella was deposed. "I spent the next three days under technical house arrest in a hotel as a guest of the new regime. Food was a bit short but we had plenty to drink," exclaimed Bill.
Optimist He is a born optimist with great faith in the * younger generation and is quick to understand and support their questioning attitude. "In the last 10 years community standards have altered. It is futile trying to hoist on * young people traditionally conservative views and standards without first understanding what has brought about the changes. "Today better educated youngsters are * questioning authority and double standards * w hich can be uncomfortable for: traditionalists. "Today they attend their Church because: they want to and not from fear as in the past. Then the Church had a captive market, now: we have to brighten the image to attract people to the goods we have to sell. "I believe these goods have much to offer.I * believe the pendulum is swinging as the younger generation are influenced to try our 9, goods. "When I hear people condemning the * young, I ask them to recollect a young person: they had criticised say five years ago and then 3 assess them today. Usually they have turned: out well."
Courtesy
A ddress It was not unusual for him to be absent from home for periods of three or four months. At these times he would give Jean a list of addresses to which she could forward mail. "When I arrived, I would find four or five letters awaiting me. At first Iwould place them in chronological order to read them and in that way I would get some bad news such as one of the children being sick and would be on tenterhooks until I reached the last letter by which time he would be well again. "I soon reversed the order so that I read the last-written letter first," laughed Bill. "We have always had an agreement that when I go away I do not phone home unless there are changes in plans. We find such calls too emotionally upsetting. Jean, who was a secretary in England, for the last 10 years has been medical receptionist for a general practitioner in Perth. In 1969 the family was living in Scandinavia with the eldest boy reaching high-school age when they decided that they wanted a more settled existence.

A needfor communication It is obvious that he is a people person because he is, or has been, involved in the Little Athletics movement, soccer, local government, the Church, Knights of the Southern Cross ,and a school board. In 1971-72 he inaugurated the Little Athletics Association centre in Gosnells, was state president from 1973 to 1977 and was Australian president of the Little Athletics Union from 1977 to 1980. "I was supported at that time by a keen national secretary, Joe Keeling,". smiled Bill. Joe is the financial editor of the Daily News. Soccer is another area of sports administration in which he is interested. He was president of the Gosnells City Soccer Club from 1972 to 1973 and has been on the board of the Soccer Federation for two years. For three years, until 1977, he was a councillor of the City of Gosnells and in 1974 received
the inaugural Citizen of the Year Award for his contribution to the community and sport. Bill is a past chairman of the Kenwick/ Thornlie parish council and was chairman of the Sacred Heart school board.
Communion They are faced with the problem of relocating the school on to a 10-acre site in Thornlie which will also accommodate a new parish church and presbytery. An appeal will be made to the Town Planning Commission Appeals Tribunal against a decision of the Gosnells City Council prohibiting development of the site. For two years Bill has been an acolyte. "We have 12 acolytes in the parish who operate on a roster system," he said.
Bill regrets the increase of bad manners in particular between the sexes. "Perhaps the feminist movement has denied men the opportunity of showing old-fashioned courtesy," he reflected. Apathy makes him sad. "Too often people take no action on an issue but when something is done they are only too ready to criticise. "People have the ability to cast their vote at State, Federal and local government elections: but many cast an invalid or 'donkey' vote. If * they don't cast a valid vote they have no right: to criticise the actions of government. "This applies particularly in local govern-: ment where usually only a handful of people attend the poll," Bill added. He believes he made the right decision in * coming to Western Australia both for himself: and his family. His eldest son, Craig, a Telecom technician,: who is involved with the Gosnells Little * Athletics was recently appointed state treasurer for the association. Mark, the second son, is a policeman stationed at Cannington. He was married this year. 3 Stuart is completing his TAE and next year: embarks on an accounting degree. He was * open champion boy in the athletics at Thornlie High school this year.

ANY of the moral decisions people make in ordinary life reflect the high priority placed on the dignity of human life. Attitudes on such issues as abortion, action for worldwide justice and help for the poor reflect the value found in each individual person. Dominican Father David K. O'Rourke relates some true experiences of individuals wrestling with human life issues. Sooner or later, the experienced pastor comments, the "question of life's dignity becomes the dignity of a single, concrete individual." Father O'Rourke is a staff member with the Family Life office in the Diocese of Oakland, Calif.
In the process, each teen is likely to develop a greater appreciation of the value of those they are aiding, Gibson says. The teen-agers, he says, are exploring ways to connect their faith to everyday life. In an interview with Katharine Bird, Father Edward K. Braxton says the Christian's interest in the dignity of life can be traced back to the Old Testament. In the New Testament, Father Braxton adds, Jesus shows some of the practical ways belief in life's dignity can be put into action.

B ut we might get an equally good answer to the questions of life's dignity by looking at what the living faith of Christian people has led them to do in support of life. From the early Roman convert in the f irst century opening her door for the unwashed and hungry poor, to the pediatric surgeon I watched struggling to maintain the breath of life in a desperately ill child, we
"Our basic vocation is to be a human being; a member of the human family for whom Christ died and in whom he dwells as the deep self. A human being is someone with the potential to become divine." (Trappist Father Thomas Keating, 1981.) "When one's faith finds God effortlessly in everyone and everything, ordinary daily life becomes a continuing revelation of Him. One realizes that Christ is already all in all." (Trappist Father Thomas Keating, 1981.) "Through the incarnation God gave human life the dimension that he intended man to have from his first beginning." (Pope John Paul II, "Redemptor Hominis," 1979.) "In reality, the name for that deep amazement at man's worth and dignity is the Gospel, that is to say: the good news. It is also called Christianity. This amazement determines the Church's mission in the world ..." (Pope John Paul II, "Redemptor Hominis, 1979.) "Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incompreTherefore, concern for the hensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not participate intimately in it." awesome value of human life is vitally important for the (Pope John Paul II, "Redemptor Hominis, 1979.)

They are pictures focused on the lives of individuals, because sooner or later the question of life's dignity becomes the dignity of a single concrete individual. it has to have this individual focus, for life and its dignity divorced from living individuals has little meaning.

The Church's appreciation for human existence is "built right into the ancient Old and New Testament traditions," Father Braxton said. To discover the scope of this concern for life, the theologian suggested that Christians look at the model set by Jesus who showed his concern for the poor, for prostitutes, for tax collectors and small children, and for casting evil spirits from afflicted individuals. Those kinds of human life problems must still be dealt with by Christians, the priest noted. Today Christians are confronted by the need to make decisions about the quality of life of people in prisons, care of the elderly, the care of pregnant, unmarried women, and other medical issues. Such life issues are "all of a piece" with questions of war and peace, the nuclear arms buildup and the possibility of an "ultimate attack on the human spirit," Father Braxton stated. The "instinctive human concern" to preserve life isn't the only Christian concern, the priest stated. There are occasions when respect for life includes "allowing people to die." He mentioned the case of Princess Grace of Monaco whose family decided to remove her from the life-support machines keeping her alive following an apparent stroke and automobile crash. Asked how parents might teach young people to respect life, Father Braxton gave some examples from his own experience of teaching.

His birth and baptism portrayed the meaning of life's dignity to this community just as his very existence brought to the surface the strengths and sensitivities that make life worthy of its name. First, there was the heroism of his absent natural mother, a woman with burdens that would make the rest of us blanch. Drawing on her faith and supported by her friends, she turned away from the easy s olution proposed in her environment. Then there were the adoptive parents and family. Having been renewed in their own faith, they were realising in very concrete ways how that faith was leading them to spend themselves supporting the lives of people unable to survive on their own.

and animal life and help them to appreciate the rhythms of the seasons. 2. Teach children at the earliest reasonable age about "human sexuality in a positive way." Help them learn that reproduction is a mystery and a gift. 3. Don't hide children from the decline of life and death. Point out that everything in nature — plants, animals, people — all die. Sometimes, Father Braxton said, parents can initiate a discussion based on questions such as: "What becomes of the squirrel when it dies?" "What happened to the dog we had to put to sleep?" Yet another possibility might be to take children to the wake of a (This article is condensed from materials de 9Ioped by the authors and used with families neighbour or relative who has died and then to open up a conversation and children in the intermediate grades in to Diocese of Syracuse, N.Y.

Today, however, is Thursday. Within an hour of getting off the school bus, Johnny will be walking the half mile to the home of a couple who need his help. The couple's son is 11 now. But he can neither walk nor talk. The difficulties the boy has faced since birth mean that he is dependent in special ways on his parents and on others who can help out. Johnny will spend nearly an hour with this boy and the boy's mother today. Together they will work on special exercises and developmental skills for the younger boy, activities the mother cannot manage alone. For about 12 weeks, Johnny will help this family on Thursdays. In a few months, Johnny expects to be confirmed in his parish. So he is now exploring ways of connecting his faith to the everyday life of his community. His work with one particular family that needs him is a way he does that. Johnny may be surprised to find out just how much that family needs him. Joanne also is 13. She also is getting ready for the sacrament of confirmation. These Monday evenings she babysits, free of charge, for the young children of a neighbour. The neighbour in question is a single mother, coping alone with the challenges of raising children and running a home. It is difficult for her, as it is for many single parents with little children, to find time for necessary shopping and other chores. She could also benefit from a little free time. That is where Joanne's service comes in. Like Johnny, Joanne is exploring ways of connecting her faith to the everyday life around her. She is trying to put her faith into action. And like Johnny, she is not only discovering something about herself in the process -- about her own r esourcefulness and talents; about her ability to help others. She actually is discovering other people in her community -- a single mother and her young children — learning to know them as real people. Her universe is becoming more personal. It is becoming the kind of universe in which the value of other people and what that value means to Joanne can be more readily recognized.

Anonymous, the bearer of no heritage, with no worthiness other than that of a single helpless child, this infant was a vital person in the lives of these people.
the loss was real. Life, which is so real and worthy, also comes to an end. Part of its dignity is that it be allowed to have that end when it comes. The machine was turned off. In the Church we are called to support the dignity of all human life. Whether it be by welcoming the unborn, or extending kindness to the imprisoned, or even allowing the end to come with peace, we are called to respect life. Why? Because the God of the living calls us to life.
