A VATICAN CITY Pope John Paul has made it clear the Church's commitment to ecumenism is "irrevocable"' but warns against easy solutions ignoring differences of faith between Catholics and other Christian. In a lengthy talk to cardinals and Vatican officials marking the Feast of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, John Paul said the way to full Chrstian unity required patience "especially on the part of public opinion."

Ecumenical service at St George's jam packed There was standing room only at St George's Cathedral on Sunday evening when over 800 people attended a service for church unity led by Archbishops Carnly and Foley as part of the Catholic-Anglican parish discussions. On the theme Christ the Light of the World both archbishops reflected on readings from the letters of St Paul. Later both archbishops and the readers went among the congregation lighting candles which were held for the remainder of the service. Speaking on the letter to the Galatians Archbishop Foley referred to the effort required to overcome the divisions of disunity.

Only standing room remained He said that he had already many duties to attend to and would not devote so much time to meetings with heads of churches and other committees except that the call to unity was the express command of Christ. He noted the sense of pain reported from many of the group discussions over the impossibility of inter-communion at present. Cont page 2

Pope John Paul called for a new momentum in ecumenical progress. Patience did not mean "inactivity or resignation," the pope said. Despite some people's wrong impression that "the initial (ecumenical) push has been stopped," he said, "this movement is proceeding, without a doubt." The pope illustrated the milestones of ecumenical progress in the last 25 years, which had made clear the "profound communion" between Christian churches. But he added there remained "questions that still divide us in the profession of the faith. "We need to ask: can it really be called progress to ignore these questions or act as if they are resolved, when they are not?" the pope said.

STIRLING (Scotland) (NC) — The chief executive of one of Britain's royal charities has been dismissed because he is Catholic, prompting controversy in Scotland's ecumenical circles.

mission's council members have resigned in protest. The 104-year-old mission was founded to minister to the spiritual and material needs of fishermen and their familes, "irrespective of creed, colour or nationality." The mission's honorary chairman, John Clarke, wrote that he "wanted to open up the religious approach of the mission, and in particular its staff," but that he "had not intended in taking it as far as appointing a Roman Catholic as secretary." After Wallis mentioned he was Catholic in an article for the house magazine of the charity, the 10-member ruling council called for his dismissal.

Unity still the main objective From page 1 He said unity in profession of the faith should be the heart of Christian unity, and must be the basis of unity in the celebration of the Eucharist. To recognise this "does not mean putting the brakes on the ecumenical movement," the pope said. "On the contrary, it means avoiding agreement to easy solutions, which would not arrive at anything stable or

New healthcare now too

Health care has become so complex it has outstripped a religious order's capacity to handle it without the involvement of competent laity said Father Sean Bredin 0.5. Cam at a Maida Vale farewell ceremony to his order last Sunday. "The spirit of St Camillus will continue as the Order of the Red Cros hands over to the Order C of The Southern Cross," he said on the feast of St Camillus.

Saint 'into the game' St Camillus got off the sideline and into the game when he started looking after the sick 400 years ago, said St John of God chaplain Father Noel Carrigg at the Maida Vale open day Last Sunday. "St Camillus took the Lord's healing ministry as his model and set out to heal and comfort the sick in the hospital in which he was a patient with a leg wound that had not healed properly. "He went about making beds, feeding the patients and reaching out to them with love a nd compassion. In doing this he was fulfilling the exhortation of the gospel. Father Carrigg said that the involvement of the Laity in today's Church following Vatican II was the same situation in the early Church. —The evangelists and St Paul were not writing for priests and religious but to the people to the butchers, the bakers of Ephesus and Corinth. He said the Knights of the Southern Cross laity who were taking over Mt St Camillus Nursing home were inspired by the same love of God that inspired St Camillus to get off the sidelines and care for the sick who were shamefully treated under appalling conditions in the hospitals of his native Italy 400 years ago.

"As committed Catholics they are strongly motivated in endorsing a strong Catholic presence in the health care of the aged.

Record ome answer$ more questionV Those who struggle to survive in the perilous world of popularity in the rock music field need no telling how quickly yesterday's hot dinner become tomorrow's cold tea. Those who strut in the strobe light brilliance of the centre stage would have appreciated how quickly a world surge of sympathy for Africa's starving millions became cold tea as more pressing matters like the minute description of President Reagan's intestines became a world issue. The Live Aid concert propelled much of the world as never before into the human dimension of global television technology. Only Africa's starving beneficiaries were likely not to have had sets to become part of such a technological and organisational feat. There was neither the time nor the place for anything but superlatives to roll off the tongues of participants, commentators and press editorials following up the weekend extravaganza. There was no arguing with the fact that if it had raised merely an iota the awareness of an estimated 1.5 billion audience to the plight of the hungry it was well worth the effort. If a promised $100 million gets to the hungry it is putting money where mouths are. That being said, it should not be beyond gratitude or good manners to stand in the mountain of litter the day after a rock concert and ask what all that was about and whether the world runs the perilous risk of doing everything for the poor except solving the problem. Former Melbourne furniture dealer Bill Gordon who reportedly conceived the concert said it proved that the new generation of musicians and their followers are into working out practical solutions to problems. What Gordon and others consider the problems to be starts the hard thinking. Hero of the hour Bob Geldof cut through the technicalities to voice the gut feeling of billions of television viewers who cannot stand any longer the sight of starving human beings on their television sets. Perhaps the television producers had wondered how long it would be until before someone woke up to why the disaster footage is beamed into the world's homes. Geldof wants to get back to his profession. Even though he had personality sacrificed so much of himself he would not be wanted much longer as a folk hero if he kept up his biting remark that the Russians were the only people to keep their word: they promised nothing and gave nothing. Lazy television reporters more at home pumping the myth that world problems will be solved by bedraggled banner wavers outside a visiting diplomat's hotel. Because Geldof doesn't have to stand around and find the answers and not merely raise the questions, he is naturally impatient with Mrs 'Thatcher's advice that it is not all that easy. Some of the hard questions touch the glitter world of pop musicians and their screaming idols more directly than they think. The agrarian economies of Africa are in ruins because they grow cash crops for European markets, the money not finding its way back to the poor but to the new middle class who know what luxuries from Europe that cash will buy. Moreover the subsidised power of the EEC markets can kill off any competitor — and that includes Australia — by dumping subsidised rural products. Such is the capitalism that feeds the pop culture of the West and against the Third World cannot compete. Who will tell the hell-bent mad administrators of the emerging countries that the over grazing of their lands has produced dust bowls? Father Tedier of Ethiopia was brought here by Australian Catholic Relief last year to tell that story but it was not of interest then. Who will be brave enough to ask if an emotional splurge on a once-off rock concert is no more than exploitation of the destitution of so many if there is no bedrock concern at what our governments will do for the world's poor. Catholics have not been ashamed to face these questions. Compared with Australia's rock concert promise of $2.5 million, Australian Mass-goers give $2.4 million annually to Project Compassion. Compared with WA's Live Aid concert total of $200,000 Perth archdiocese Massgoers gave $300,000 to Project Compassion last year alone. Cash is a very short term answer if we are not prepared to ask the long term questions.

4 The Record, 18 — 24 July, 1985

Here is the text of the Australian bishops' statement on the pastoral care of separated and divorced Catholics. The statement was released this week. Hope and joy are born of compassion. The compassionate show the face of God to a world in which sadness, doubt and fear afflict so many. Hope and joy are the promise and gift which the Father holds out to his much loved creation. To be compassionate, to be givers of that hope and joy is the

call of the Lord Jesus to all who follow his way. Because we are convinced of this, and because we want to proclaim our own hope and joy in the risen Jesus, we write to you, the Catholic faithful, concerning those of our fellow Catholics who are suffering the pain and loss of marriage breakdown. These Catholic brothers and sisters can very easily feel "left out" and even somehow "second class" when their fellow Catholics are hesitant about befriend-

The Church's teaching on the indissolubility and fidelity of marriage needs to be seen alongside her teaching on the need for compassion and understanding towards those in any kind of difficulty. We want our people to understand this, so that the separated and divorced have a sure sense of belonging, and feel encouraged to participate in the sacramental life of the Catholic community. Pope John Paul II, in his 1981 statement on the Christian Family in the Modern World, placed this two-fold teaching in beautiful perspective, when he wrote: "AS a mutual gift of two persons, this intimate union, as well as the good of children, imposes total fidelity on the spouses and argues for an unbreakable oneness between them . . . "To bear witness to the inestimable value of the indissolubility and fidelity of mar- affirm its commitment to riage is one of the most those made more vulnerable precious and urgent by the trauma of marriage tasks of Christian cou- breakdown. DEATH OF A DREAM ples in our time." We must avoid the false ( para 20). idea that divorce is always

ing, maintaining contact and making a place in parish life for them. This hesitancy, sometimes felt as coldness, may be due to embarrassment or a false sensitivity to the situation. But it may also come about from the mistaken idea that these people have somehow sinned. This need not be so. Marital separation or civil divorce alone do not mean estrangement from the Church.

Compassion for any in difficulty

DIVORCE SUMMARY

"I earnestly call upon pastors and the whole community of the faithful to help the divorced, and with solicitous care to make sure that they do not consider themselves as separated from the Church, for as baptised persons they can, and indeed must, share in her life . . .

El "Let the Church pray for them, encourage them and show herself as merciful mother, and thus sustain them in faith and hope." (para 84 ). We wish to emphasise that, for their part, separated and divorced Catholics are among those who most strongly affirm the Church's teaching on marriage. The breaking of their marriage can serve to emphasise, for them, the quality, dignity and strength found only in the permanence and faithfulness of marriage. CRIPPLING EFFECTS With divorce becoming increasingly accepted in our society, there is a danger we may become uninterested in, or insensitive to, the effects of divorce on the lives of those caught up in it. We cannot let familiarity minimise the significance of these effects which can be crippling and emotionlly destructive Increased tolerance of the facts of divorce does not lessen its pain for those involved. It is therefore particularly opportune and important that our Church community

chosen as an easy way out. Separation and divorce mark the death of a dream, and dreams die when hope no longer holds meaning. The result is grief Further, for those whose marriage began as a lifecommitment, there is the realisation that a solemn promise has been broken. So, inevitably there will be feelings of guilt. Grief and guilt collide in the personalty of the separated or divorced person, resulting in a loneliness that some find intolerable. A person is torn from someone who had been accepted as a life-partner — someone with whom they had hoped and even planned to share all the challenges of living together. Both people still exist, but their life together has died. This death has been termed "psychological widowhood" — a situation that can, of course, also occur in existing marriages.

El El ,The stress and sense of loss which accompany and follow psychological widowhood can be compared with the reactions to separation through physical death. This is true also for the children. Their tragedy is often greater. Their pain, which they cannot easily identify or understand, is submerged in the confusion of being "caught in between" in the chaos of separation.

-in important obligation to Lipport, encourage and nourish your faith. You remain our brothers and sisters. Three years ago, in his first letter to the Church and to all men and women of goodwill, Pope John Paul reminded us that life is impossible without love. If love is not revealed to us, if we do not encounter love, "experience it and participate intimately in it," then living is "senseless" ( cf para 10 "Redeemer of Man"). These words have special relevance here.

Bereavement — in its literal sense of loss — leaves orphans. A TIME FOR GRIEVING . . . AND FORGIVING We wish now to address ourselves particularly to all of you involved in the heartbreak of marriage death. We recognise there is a real grief process that you have to work through. There may also be a deep anger compounding the hurt you feel. Both your grief and your anger should meet a compassionate response within the community of the Church. The Church is uniquely placed to help you face your anger and find the courage to forgive, for the Church knows that forgiveness the reconciling love of Jesus Christ — is the foundation of her hope.

You must know that your burden of loneliness does not have to be carried alone. The Lord who is close to the broken-hearted ( Ps 34) wants you to find peace. It is for the community that bears his name to reveal the resting place of peace. LIFE NEEDS LOVE Much of what we have shared here also applies to those who, after divorce, have attempted marriage outside the church. We want to add a special word for you. While it is not possible for you, who have divorced and remarried, to celebrate the sacraments as full members of the worshipping community, that community has

LIED

The followers of any hero are apt to feel apprehensive and threatened at the news the hero is about to be given an updated historical perspective. Those who grew up in the 1960s and saw a new Camelot in the form of John F. Kennedy's White House were later disillusioned, even devastated, about the revelations over the late president and the process of pulling him down.

Anger damages the one who is angry. Like grief it must be enabled to heal. You should not have to apologise for seeking the counsel of the priest. On the contrary you should find in the priest a ready listener and an understanding pastor. Jesus, the Good Shepherd. speaks through those who have committed their lives to his service, when he says "Come to me all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest . . . for I am gentle and humble in heart." (Matthew 11:28) Likewise, the parish community should reflect the warmth of a loving family. When the parish opens its arms in welcome and love to touch the disadvantaged, it embraces Jesus (cf. Matthew 25:31-46).

Personal faults invariably contribute to any marriage breakdown. No one denies that persons can fail. But, if we understand that failure does not make a person unloveable in the

St Thomas More

Those who grew up in the same period and who were buoyed by a new stage play about the life and times of Thomas More, saint and statesman, undoubtedly felt a similar sense of apprehension and threat at the news that, arriving in Perth, was an Irish-born, Cambridgebased academic who was going to deal with some of the myths surrounding the life of More. Dr Brendan Bradshaw, priest and scholar, who was in Australia to help us focus on the 450th anniversary of More's martyrdom, set the

eyes of God, it will be clear that, whatever their failures, people always have a right to our love. The need for love does not disappear simply because a person may no longer be married. Having known love. the need is even greater. If love is not shown by an accepting. open. humble and spiritually adult Christian community, it may well be sought in a new irregular friendship. We all have a responsibility here. • we urge you who are remarried to examine your particular circumstance and, if your pastor so advises, seek the help of the diocesan matrimonial tribunal. • we ask our priests, teachers and lay ministers to study the Church's teaching on marriage, to actively support people who are

trying to help, and to be ready to listen to and gently guide those seeking advice. • our Catholic Social Services offer professional counselling and guidance. An introduction to these services when a difficulty is first recognised, may help couples avoid later crisis.

DEE • parish pastoral councils should take a special interest in this vital area, looking for ways in 'which the liturgical, social and educational welfare of those with marriage difficulties can be enriched. VOCATION But the separated and divorced are not expected to be mere recipients of support. They themselves have a part to play in the life of the community. Indeed many, from the

experience of their own suffering, are already ministering to fellow parishioners trying to cope with their marriage relationships. We applaud this Christ-like concern, itself a sign of faithfulness. We feel sure that you. who have been victims of marriage breakdown, are called to share your courage and faith with those who find themselves on a similar journey. MERCY All of us. sharing in the priesthood of Jesus by reason of our baptism, are to minister to one another in love characterised by mercy. Mercy is the unifying and elevating power that makes compassion possible. Pope John Paul, in his timely letter Rich in Mercy, writes that this love means

"the cordial tenderness and sensitivity so eloquent spoken of in the parable of the prodigal son, and also in the parable of the lost sheep and the lost coin . . . it is indispensible in pastoral work" (para 14). Be especially respectful of the conscience and convictions of one another. Be careful not to impose excessive burdens, not to further isolate those already alone, nor to allow our own ignorance or prejudice to

In reaching out to our separated, divorced and remarried Catholics, sk offer an assurance you are loved. If you present difficulties sometimes seem insoluble, we pray the care with which you are held in your respective parish communities, will be the seed of hope and joy in your own lives, and that you will find peace. The soothing touch of Jesus comes in the spirit of hospitality, which, ideally. enlivens every parish. COMPASSION — NOT PITY When Jesus asks his followers to "be compassionate as your Father is compassionate" ( Luke 6:36), he asks we stand alongside the troubled and distressed, to take some of the weight of their burden and to help them again lift up their heads and their hearts. Compassion has little to do with pity, or simply feeling sorry for the other. It is a freely offered and active sharing in whatever suffering the other is enduring. Such a sharing, which is always careful not to force itself on the privacy of the sufferer, brings hope and joy for it restores a sense ot belonging to the person alone and afraid. Compassion becomes more tangible. and consequently more possible, when each of us acknowledges the need of God's patient, tender and merciful love in our own lives. Then, encouraged by the unspeakable richness of God's own compassion. "with our unrest, uncertainty and even our weakness and sinfulness, with our life and our death." ( Redeemer of Man, paragraph 10) we will encourage one another and so draw nearer to Christ, our lasting hope and joy.

Our Catholic Social Services offer professional counselling and guidance. An introduction to these services when a difficulty is first recognised, may help couples avoid later crisis.

Surely there had to be some reason why Western Australians treated the man with such familiarity. That point, really, is at the heart of the matter today. Four and a half centuries down the track, More is still very relevant — not only to those in Cambridge, or Oxford, or Rome. And not only to priests, but

to academics, politicians and laymen everywhere. Whatever fears people harboured about More being "revised" by Father Bradshaw in some fundamentally offensive or unacceptable way were allayed the minute he began his first public lecture at the University of Western Australia on July 12. From the outset it was clear he was one used to examining More in depth, without the need to resort to historical gossip or trivia. Two fundamentally important historical events were examined by Father Bradshaw among a wetter of other information. The first appealing to me

was that he set out to dispel those notions Sir Thomas More, during his time as Lord Chancellor of England, from 1529-1532, was some sort of pathological and reactionary individual hell-bent on punishing Englishmen of antiRoman sentiment. Father Bradshaw's research indicates in the two-and-ahalf-year period with More at the helm, five people were executed for heresy. But, upon More's resignation, and his succession for the next eight years by the enlightened apparently reformer, Thomas Cromwell, some 300 Englishmen were executed for their faith. Without any special empha-

sis, Father Bradshaw gave a king-hit to the theory More was the intolerant, insecure individual painted by the detractors of either the Catholic Church or More himself. Equally, Father Bradshaw dealt effectively with the issues that Sir Thomas More had to separate as both a Catholic and as a parliamentarian. It was not the succession to the throne of England that was a matter of conscience to More — after all, it was his view parliament did have the right to decide the question of succession (even though Henry VIII took the opposite view that parliament had no such right). Instead, More saw as the crucial issue the question of the King's proposed new "marriage", or at least his attitude to his existing marriage. On that point More was

adamant — there was no room for parliament to decide whether or not the King could get rid of one to take on the other. This writer, as both a Catholic and a supporter of the monarchy, is tempted to wonder what effect all of this had — if any — on the controversy that was to break out precisely 400 years after More's death when, in 1935-1936, King Edward VIII tried, and failed, to get permission to marry the divorced Mrs Simpson. The rules in 1936 were quite clear in that the British Government of the day did not want to see the King marry. Perhaps in the troubled 1980s, the message for priests, potentates and politicians is to know where to draw the line between what is important to preserve and what is not.

It was a bumpy ride on the back of Bill Shocker's old utility from the city down to Sunset Hospital in Dalkeith. As the mobile wreck thumped its way along, schoolboy members of the Highgate junior conference of the St Vincent de Paul Society sat in some trepidation atop the pile of junk scrounged for charitable purposes that always littered the back of the ute. There would be a stop at the Carmelite Monsastery in Nedlands while Hughie Gallagher emerged from the passenger seat of the vehicle to deliver to the nuns a bag of vegetables he and Bill had wrangled from the markets.

Brian Joseph Bowler, a partowner of Associated Surveys (Aust) Pty Ltd and its associated companies, was born in Perth on September 24, 1935. He was educated at the Sacred Heart Primary School and Christian Brothers' High School, Highgate, from which he matriculated in 1952.

It was the start of a move that was to lead him through membership of several conferences (where he first met present business associate Kevin Pownall) to the State executive and to the WA presidency of the Society from 1969-71 Along the way he developed a deep admiration for Ned Murray, the man he was to succeed as head of the Society in WA.

'The young Associated Surveys was struggling to get onto its feet, yet he cheerfully encouraged me to take time off for the work of the society." In Brian's mind, however, it was a situation that could not be allowed to continue. He has to make a choice between the business and the presidency. The position was resolved by the news from his wife Vivian late in her pregnancy that she was about to have twins. This meant that there would be six pre-school children in the family to look after. The presidency had to go. From the time when he was with the Public Works Department — and working at night as a cleaning contractor to support his growing family — he had developed an interest in the credit union idea.

United Credit was formed in 1972 on money they borrowed with Ed as No 1 member and Brian as No 3 and inaugural chairman — a position he still holds. In 13 years the tiny group has grown into United Credit Union Ltd with $80 million in assets and more than 33,000 members. About the time it was starting, Brian was a member of the Hamersley parish education committee which was baffling to get a Catholic school in the area. There was none there and the portents were that there never would be. Then into the gloom like a sudden shaft of light came the news that the Federal Government would imple-

ment those of the Karmel Committee's recommendations which substantially eased funding for Catholic schools. The Hamersley education committee was swiftly transformed into a school board, an application for funds was rushed into the Australian Schools Commission which was only just being formed and the way was opening up for the building of the Liwara Catholic School. It was the start of a hectic period for Brian and his colleagues. While Liwara was building children had to be sent over by bus to St John's school at Scarborough. The Pallottine nuns at Girrawheen lent a bus free of charge and another bus was hired. "Enrolments for Liwara were being taken," Brian says, "when not a brick had been laid on the site. This showed great faith by the parents there would be a school there — aided by the enthusiasm of Sister Leonie. one of the four Mercy nuns

who had agreed to serve in the Hamersley parish for six years."' Furniture had to be scrounged to accommodate the children while they were at St Johns. A lot of it came from a closed Catholic school at Shenton Park. 'There was nobody there to tell us what to take." Brian recounts, "so we took the lot — including the school bell which now hangs proudly at Liwara." In the event, the school turned out to be the first in Australia built under the new funding system. There never has been a shortage of enrolments for Liwara in its 11 years and it now has more than 500 pupils. Brian is happy to work in the cheerful Christian atmosphere that pervades Associated Surveys and he enjoys seeing his children growing up and gradually becoming established in life. 'When this process is completed," he concludes, "perhaps Vivian and I will have time to travel"

Faith is strong in Cuba

HAVANA ( NC) — Although only about one per cent of Havana's Catholics attend Sunday Mass, "individual religiosity remains deep in many Cubans," said Archbishop Ortega of Havana. "People come and go" to Catholic churches "whether they are Catholics or not," Archbishop Ortega said. About half of Cuba's newborns are baptised Catholic, he said, and about half of the population bury their dead in Catholic ceremonies. Pilgrimages to religious shrines in various parts of Cuba are "massive** and "fervent" he said. Archbishop Ortega said there are "hardships, but not oppression" for the Catholic Church in Cuba. Comparing the Cuban church to the situation of churches in Eastern Europe, the archbishop noted there are no Catholic priests in Cuban sails and said the Church is "absolutely free' to nominate bishops and priests of its choice. He said frequent Church attendance and devout worship are no longer viewed by the Cuban government as anti-revolutinary.

Italian missionary Father Tullio Favali has ben arrested by Philippine Air Force but Manero's brother Ediberto, also a suspect, is still at large. Although the killing of a priest is still a rare event in the Philippines, Church leaders believe Father Favali's murder signaled an escalation of what they fear is organised repression. In May, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, apparently frustrated by the military's inability to find the suspects, issued "shoot to kill" orders for the two brothers. Ediberto Manero and his wife, Leonarda, were arrested on a murder charge in 1979, but they escaped from their army guard in 1981. Villagers said the Maneros, including Ediberto, were moving freely around the village, armed and wearing Defence Forces uniforms from the time of their escape to the present, without interference from the military garrisons stationed there. Father Fav-ali, a member of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions, was killed April 11 in the middle of the main provincial highway in a suburb of Tulunan on the island of Mindanao.

'Army' suspect held in Manila At least 50 people were said to have witnessed the killing. Bishop Quevedo of Kidapawan called the murder part of a "systematic repression of the Church." The day after the killing, Bishop QUCVC(10 told of a plan by the local government "to kill a priest or a sister so that ministers ofJesus Christ would be afraid to continue their work." Cardinal Jaime Sin of Manila referred to Father Favali's murder as a "salvaging," the local expression for a military execution. Maryknoll Sister Patricia Startup, spokeswoman for the fact-finding team, said the murder was "part of a government plan being carried out by the military."

She said she believes the Church has become a threat to the established government because the Church "has power and it is dealing with social problems." Five Columban priests said one day before Father Favali's murder that harassment of the clergy and Church workers is common in the Philippines. But the priests said they did not think the government was ready to raise the stakes by murdering a foreign priest. When the news of Father Favali's murder was released the following day, one of the priests, who asked not to be identified, said, "I guess they have raised the stakes."

Priests go on a Advice to Christian Voters 'spending spree'

NEW YORK (NC) — The good news was that two Franciscan priests received $2 million for charity; the bad news was that they had to spend it in 100 days. Franciscan Father John Felice and John McVean were pledged the money by real estate executive Harry Macklowe, whose company tore down four hotels for the poor without city permission. He offered $2 million in e xchange for the city dropping a $10 million suit against him. With the $2 million, the priests must purchase a building to house the mentally ill in mid-town Manhattan or the money will revert back to the City of New York to be used for social services. Father Felice and McVean run the St Francis Friends of the Poor, a non-profit organisation which houses mentally ill homeless people. Father Felice and Father McVean say that with Manhattan going through a wave of gentrification, the only way charities can address the situation of the homeless is to buy homes themselves.

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 his apostolate 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. Fully accepting their Christian duty to evangelise according to their own individual abialities, they are not attached to any religious order but have their own formally constituted Association and elected Council under the patronage and guidance of the Bishop. Lay Missionanes do not accept a salary, only their keep and pocket money. Their fares are paid and a small sum on completion of their service.

'Love your enemies! How can anyone be asked to love such a person?

By Vanderhaar observes that the "love we are Katharine talking about here is not a sentimental journey." Bird ' He notes that Jesus'

Imprisoned in a coilcentration camp during World War II, the Jewish man managed to endure the constant taunts and harassment from a German guard, but not without thoughts of revenge. Later, after regaining his freedom, the Jew nourished those thoughts by planning what he would do to the guard if ever the chance presented itself. One day the Jew saw the guard on the street. His first instinct was to attack. But then he found himself hesitating and reflected: This enmity has to stop somewhere. It might as well be right now, here, with me. Mat story powerfully brings home for me what it might mean to "love your enemies."

"sense of psychology was sound." Jesus doesn't insist that people like their enemies. Loving enemies means developing "a concern for the genuine good of the person. We can love without liking," Vanderhhar explains. " It means making "a purposeful, firm decision to respect them as human beings." It can take hard work with those considered enemies "to resolve our differences," the theologian says.

"Life provides a great opportunity for positive human interaction," he thinks, and manyu possibilities for us to bring "out the best in each other." For Vanderhaar, "the goal of enemy love is finally to become cooperators in a common effort to improve things for all off us." The theologian points out that Jesus had no blinders on concerning the enemies who wished him ill. His way of handling one who wished him ill — Judas — can be instructive. At the Last supper,Jesus singled Judas out as the one who would betray his master. Vanderhaar notes that Jesus called Judas "friend" and gave

him a chance to reconsider. He "appealed to Judas' conscience by impressing on him the ugly consequences of his act." But, he adds, Jesus did nothing to embarrass Judas in front of the other apostles. Acting otherwise would give Judas an "opportunity to become defensive and so reinforce his decision," Vanderhaar suggests. "Jesus always respected the person of his adversaries, even when he disagreed with their position," Vanderhaar explains. Jesus "never helped spin higher the spiral of enmity" by refusing to recognise the humanity of others, Vanderhaar concludes.

tionships. These relationships are modelled on the love which Jesus showed, the love of someone in contact with all sorts of other, very real people. That love spilled over on Calvary where Jesus' love reached out to embrace even his executioners. Lest we think that Paul was exaggerating when he insisted on the unique importance of love,Jesus' own words call out: "This is my commandment, love one another asIhave loved you . . . The command I give you is this, that you love one another. "This is how all will know you for my disciples; your love for one another" (John 15:12, 17; 13:35).

Paula Ripple, of the Notre Dame Institute for Clergy Education, says friendship can be looked upon as -a relationship between two people which nourishes the life of each person at the expense of neither. - Through friendship, the knowledge we have of ourselves is deepened, expanded or challenged. A friend "frees the best in us and confirms our own beliefs about what is best in us, - he says.

It is risky to speak about love. There is the risk of trivialising love, or of viewing it in sentimental and idealistic ways. But for Christians it is also risky not to speak about love. Love is of the essence for Christians, writes David Gibson. Two of our other writers this week explore contrasting aspects of love: the love of friends and the love of enemies. Cindy Liebhart interviews Paula Ripple on the meanining of friendship. For Ms Ripple, author of a book on the topic, friendship is a way for people to experience the presence of God in their lives. Katharine Bird reflects on the love for enemies. Quoting theologian Gerard Vanderhaar, she says we don't have to like our enemies in order to love them and wish them well. Father John Castelot points out that love, a gift of the Holy Spirit, is meant to foster unity in the community, not division. Some members of the community at Corinth forgot this vital fact and St Paul had to set them straight, Father Castelot adds.

of addiction many families face. Drug abuse is another. Others encounter other serious problems that threaten their peace or the stability of their homes. But why speak about addictions and other serious problems in this supplement of materials devoted to Christian love? The answer is simple. Love, which is not easy to define, is often given under stressful circumstances. When families encounter hard situations, how should they respond? Is love a passive stance that encourages us to sit back and do nothing? Or does love impel hard choices and demanding action at times? Ms Ketcham and

Milam suggest that waiting for alcoholics to realise they need treatment is "simply a mistake." Left to their own devices, the authors add, alcoholics are likely "to become less willing to seek treatment, not more willing." Then, too, alcoholism untreated can become a life and death situation. "The alcoholic has to stop drinking or he will continually get worse," the authors say. "Waiting until he realises the extent of his problem is waiting too long." The authors say that more than half the alcoholics now being treated successfully got into treatment when "certain crises in their lives backed them into a

corner and forced them to seek help." These alcoholics had not simply wanted to stop drinking. Families, friends and others can help — but they can also aid and abet the alcoholic, the authors suggest. To help, they need to do more than care. They must get informed about what alcoholism is, becoming able to draw upon their own best resources and the best resources of those around them. And they must care for their own health in the process. What do you think it means to express love under difficult circumstances? What does this suggest to you about love's meaning?

It is risky to talk about love. First, there is the risk of trivialising the subject. In a world where love's "three little words" make "the world go 'round" — and where a novelist was able to write that love means you never have to say you're sorry — it is all too easy to speak of love in sugary terms. But is love always sweet? Second, there is the risk of envisioning love too narrowly. Then what is said reflects the love of a husband and wife, or the love of a parent and child, or the love of friends, or the love of neighbours — but not all these. There is also the risk of seeming to be naive when talking of love and its power. It may be true that "what the world needs now is love sweet love." But the world also needs problem solvers and people with vision and people with commitment. The person of love may be the finest kind of problem solver, of

course. But should love be described as though it were a panacea, wiping away life's complications the way widow wipers on a car wipe off the rain? Again, there is the risk that in speaking about love, one will appear to be trying to define a reality that can't be defined; attempting to box up one of life's greatest mysteries and most dynamic forces. It seems that love is larger than words can convey. Which makes things difficult whenever we're depending on words to convey our meaning. If it is a risk to

A mother and father were trying to get their 3-year -old son Eric into bed one evening. But going to bed was the last thing Eric wanted to do. So he put forth his best efforts to stall, stretching out conversation with his parents. It was a familiar tactic — one Eric's mother recognised. quickly Gently she explained that it was time to turn out the lights and that he should go to sleep. "But I'm afraid in the dark," Eric said. "There is nothing to be afraid of," his mother responded. "God is here with you." "Looking up at his parents, Eric replied, "I know that God is here. hut I want someone in here with skin on." Paula Ripple relates that amusing anecdote in her book "Called To Be Friends" (Ave Maria Press, 1980). Eric's desire for a fleshand-blood presence in the darkness, a comforting touch reassuring him he is not alone, speaks simply but powerfully of a profound truth about human existence. God's presence can come alive through the love of others who wear our "human skins." Most of us cannot

expect to experience God's love in isolation. We need to give and to receive human friendship if we are to accept God's invitation to friendship. The call to friendship is at the heart of Christianity's two great commandments, Ms. Ripple said in a recent interview. Jesus asks us to love God and to love our neighbours as ourselves. It is a threefold relationship that tells us love for God, for others and for ourselves cannot be separated or compartmentalised, she said.

How can anyone be asked to love their enemies? While friendship eludes precise definition, some of its qualities can be described. Paula Ripple said friendship can be looked upon relationship "a as between two people which nourishes the life of each person at the expense of neither." It is not a "blending" of two people, nor a "giving away" of oneself, she said. Crucial to healthy friendships are people who

have a strong sense of their own self-worth, who recognise some of the gifts they possess. "If I don't know who I am and what my gifts are, I don't have anything to give in friendship," she said. But through friendship, the knowledge we have of ourselves is deepended, expanded or challenged. A friend "frees the best in us and confirms our own beliefs about what is best in us," Ms Ripple said. It is like a child learning to play the piano. She may sense she possesses good musical talents. But she will need affirmation, encouragement and nurture by others to fully appreciate her gift and cultivate it. Sometimes a friend is able to see good "qualities in us we have not yet seen in ourselves," Ms Ripple said. Similarly, a friend can help us recognise and break from destructive or oppressive patterns in our lives. A friend will not allow us "to settle for less in ourselves" than we are or can become, she said. For her, the lyrics of a song in the movie "Evergreen" reveal friendship's transforming power: "When you look at me I'm all and more than I had ever dreamed I'd be." Friendship's course is not always easy. One

speak about love, it is also a probolem. For it sometimes is easier to say what love is not, than what it is. Love is not an idealistic approach to the world around us — a view through coloured glasses, so to speak.

never rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not prone to anger; neither does it brood over injuries. Love," said Paul, "does not rejoice in what is wrong." Fortunately, Paul did not stop with this litany of "nots."

Nor does love necessarily produce a life of pertranquility or fect eliminate all conflict from one's life. St Paul met up with this problem when it came to speaking about love. "Love is not jealous," he wrote. To which he quickly added: "Love is

In fact, he went right on to make this great claim: "Love never fails." So it is risky to speak about love. But it is also risky not to speak about it. Because among Christians, love is of the essence. Love is the Christian way.

For the earliest Christians love was supposed to be characteristic, a trait by which they could be recognised. "You'll know they are Christians by their love," it was written. Acting out of love, Christians were to be patient and kind; to bear each other's burdens and not to forget anyone's needs. Love's forbearance, its trust, its hope and its power to endure are limitless, Paul wrote. For Christians today, love is a high and demanding standard that asks

more than just what is required to get by. Thus the moral life is distinguished not only by what is avoided, but by what is done — what is given — out of love. It becomes a matter of where attention is centred. A people of love are able to centre attention not only on themselves, but on others. The word "love" is used so frequently today in popular music and advertisements that it risks becoming emptied of all mewling.

myth about friendship is the "dreamy notion" that it has nothing to do with conflict, anger or hurt, Ms Ripple said.

"The only relationships that are easy are new ones" because at that point people haven't had time to experience each other's strengths or limitations, both of which can cause suffering, Ms Ripple said. Another element of friendship not to be overlooked is playfulness — the ability to have fun with and really enjoy People another. shouldn't take a relationship so seriously "that it becomes grim," she said.

How can anyone be asked to love their enemies? Ultimately, friendship becomes a force beyond the two people invoh-ed. Ms Ripple believes the love and strength people experience in friendship spill over into all their other relationships or encounters with people. however brief. "Love is diffusive — it scatters itself," Ms Riple said. "As humans we feel far more deeply than we are usually willing to recognise. We feel hurt and pain, loss and grief, anxiety and depression, great joy and quiet peace, love and enthusiasm. As children of God, we must constantly work towardrecognising the heart's movements, growing in awareness of how we feel while developing the ability to express those feelings in a constructive way." ("Coping with a Gentle God" by Passionist Father John Powers, 1984, Michael Glazier, Inc.) "One who is joyful is impelled to love and cannot hate. A joyful person seeks to reconcile and willnot cause division. A joyful person is troubled by the sight of another's sadness." (The 1984 pastoral letter on evangelisation by the U.S. black Catholic bishops.)

PART TWO

Dorothy Tangney was first endorsed as Labor candidate for the blue-ribbon Nationalist (later Liberal) seat of Nedlands in the Western Australian parliament in 1936, and later in 1939. She was up against a veteran Conservative politician, Norbert Keenan, a man not easily beaten — it is indicative of Dorothy Tangney's charm she won him over as a friend. This friendship, between the idealistic and enthusiastic Dorothy and the autocratic and peppery Keenan, was to last until his death and he would be among the most sincere in his congratulations for her Senate win in 1943. But in 1940 she was unsuccessful in her first attempt to enter the Senate. It was a time of disaster with the Sunday of the opening day of the campaign seeing her involved in a car accident and placed very much out of action in hospital. Her sense of humour won through when she quipped: "I was plastered in my first campaign for the Senate.When she was finally elected in the landslide of 1943 it came almost as a surprise. When journalists went to inverview her at home they found amongst her supporters a band of young pupils who had come, not only to congratulate her but to remind her that she had promised them a holiday if she won.

Early days in Canberra: Dame Enid Lyons and Senator Dorothy Tangney. Dame Enid was the first woman in the House of Representatives and Senator Tangney was the first woman to enter the Senate.

The Record, 18 — 24 July, 1985

It was a promise made in the belief she probably would not win, and one which she, as a mere teacher, could not in all certainty make. But it was Dorothy's day and the political powers that-be decided that not only should her class have the day off but the whole school should share in the celebration. During her time in parliament she demonstrated she was equal in achievement and, in fact, was able to out -achieve many average male members, while preserving a nice degree of femininity, says Connie Hooker, who is writing the Tangney biography. She built up a formidable record in the area of social service; served on countless parliamentary and related committees from her first days in parliament, chairing some; represented Australia internationally with singular distinction; consistently championed the underdog and was a voice for many whose causes probably would have remained, without her expert representation, forever unheard.

L A .look at one of WA's most renowned women — by ROSLYN ROSS

When Dame Dorothy Tangney died recently she closed the door on a remarkable chapter of history - - as a w oman and a politician. But hopefully, the closing of that door will not mean obscurity for a Western Australian w ho must rank as one of Australia's greatest daughters. Little has been written about this daughter of a Fremantle wharfie who rose, through her own impressive abilities and sheer determination to become Australia's first woman senator. She achieved much, despite a constant battle with ill health which saw her confined to a nursing home for the last seven years of her life. In those last years of her life little or nothing was heard of Dorothy Tangney, but Perth writer Connie Hooker is one person who is determined that her life and work will not be forgotten. Connie Hooker has set herself the awesome task of writing a book about Dorothy Tangney the woman and Dorothy Tangney, the politician. The book is nearing completion and in this, the 42nd anniversary year of the Federal election which gave Australia its first woman senator and the year in which Dame Dorothy died, Connie Hooker talks to Roslyn Ross about the woman she has long admired.

She campaigned for Commonwealth Government acknowledgement of financial responsibility for the unemployed and infirm, policies implemented on July 1, 1945 under Prime Minister John Curtin. In 1947 she was appointed to the commission for drawing up peace terms with Japan. She was proud of being a foundation member — the only woman — of the Council of the Australian National university from 1951 to 1968. Early in 1962 she was elected as temporary Chairman of Committees in the Senate and became the first woman to preside over either House of the Commonwealth Parliament. Senator Tangney's untiring efforts to assist the deserted Australian wives of

American servicemen spread over many years. Eventually, the American Government became officially aware of her work to help the victims caught up in this problem area between the two countries, .and in a gesture of thanks she was given a grant from the American Department of State for a seven week tour of America in their Leaders and Specialists' Program. In 1963 she travelled to the United States visiting the most important centres and receiving several marks of American recognition of her services in the realm of international friendship and co-operation In 1948 she went to London as a member of the Australian Delegation to the Inter -Parliamentary Conference and this gave her an opportunity to visit Ireland. News of her visit to Ireland was known there long before her arrival, says Connie.

Relatives and friends had been waiting impatiently to welcome the 'cousin from Australia' and shower her with their own particular brand of hospitality — which meant as often as not copious amounts of bacon and eggs washed down with Guiness. It was also during this trip, while travelling from Paris to London she found herself breakfasting with a charming companion who she later discovered to be the entertainer Maurice Chevalier. It was only when the waiter approached him deferentially, and requested his autograph, as did most of the other passengers, that Senator Tangney became aware of the reason for the envious glances she had been receiving. But every dog has its day, and it was on arrival at London that Senator Tangney was to have her moment. In a story printed in The Record on April 21, 1949 she said "However, when we reached London my turn came, for while Chevalier was held up by Customs to explain away his dozens of hats, I, with my diplomatic passport, sailed blithely through to be met by a barrage of Press cameramen, who, seeing the huge official car which had been sent to meet me by Australia

House, thought such luxury could only be for some very important personage, probably the great Chevalier himself. "So while he argued with the Customs men, I obligingly posed for photographs, the taking of which filled in time for the cameramen until the dispute in the Customs area had been settled." In Ireland she took afternoon tea with the Prime Minister, DeValera, chased up several Sisters of St John of God and lunched at the Convent of Mercy, visited the little Church of St Brigid at Duagh where her father's birth had been recorded and had lunch with the Minister for External Affatrs, Sean McBride, and his mother — Maude Gonne MacBride, the most famous woman in Ireland, whose husband was killed in 1916 and who had been pursued by the poet W.B. Yeats who fell hopelessly in love with her. Dorothy Tangney was the sort to take it all in her stride . from tea and scones with the relatives of friends in Perth to lunch with the Marchioness of Headfort at Headfort Castle. It was a trip that was even more memorable for the woman than the politician. On the way home to Australia she stopped off in South Africa at the invitation of the government. It was in an interview printed in the Johannesburg Star, early in January, 1 949, says Connie, that Senator Tangney aired some hitherto unpublicised details regarding her romantic involvement with a Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Australian Navy who went safely through the Crete campaign during World War ll only to die of appendicitis in 1941.

end, she faced the reality bravely but with enormous regret. Once again her health had been bad which had contributed in part to her political demise and although she recovered from the kidney failure which had seen her receive the last rites, the end had come and she knew it. She had been given a low placing on the ballot paper and knew what that meant. She withdrew her nomination, giving medical advice as the reason, but says Connie, it should be noted this reason was advanced after she was given the unfavourable position on the ballot paper. t She must have felt well enough and Lifficiently sanguine to face the rigors of a political campaign when she nominated, she added. She did not try again, nor bear a grudge, but she did make the observation she was glad her father, who with her sister had followed her to Canberra to provide invaluable support, was not alive to be saddened by the treatment she received. Many of her visits to hospital were arranged to reduce her weight which was becoming a serious problem with the advancing years, no doubt seriously exacerbated by the kidney malfunction. But even when restricted to a liquid diet, it was almost impossible for her to reduce substantially.

As she said ruefully, her "torso only got more so." Another famous quip when colleagues were discussing the issue of birth control was: "I need to practice girth control, not birth control." She was a woman who worked hard — probably too hard for her always unweilcty health. Dame Dorothy's mood while being interviewed by the Press on the eve of her last departure from Canberra was often understandably nostalgic. One of her hardest tasks had been to clear her office and pack the countless mementoes she had collected in the 25 years and allof which had been kept proudly on display. She pointed out she was never a Left-winger nor a Right-winger — terms that were non-existent when she became a Laborite. She had loved the cut and thrust of debate and the street corner campaigning in the early days, meeting the people face to face, answering questions on controversial subjects. In an interview in the Sydney Morning Herald in 1968 she recounted the following anecdote: "I was holding forth on the back of a lorry outside a hotel once," she recalls, when a drunk came up. 'Ah, garn, don't you wish you were a man2 he demanded. "No. Don't you?" counterered the Senator. Her humour often got her out of tight situations. Once when being questioned at a street meeting at which Chifley, who was then Treasurer, was present, she was asked some questions involving figures, to which she didn't know the answers. "It's no good asking me about figures. I've never been any good at them. You've only got to look at my own to see that," she laughed. Needless to say there were no more figure questions. The pain of those last few months in Canberra must have been almost unbearable for her, says Connie. Not only goodbyes had to be said but packing had to be done and with her penchant for collecting based on her inabilty to part with any object of sentimental value, it was an enormous task. Luckily she had the help of her sistersecretary who would have known just how to wrap the remains of a champagne bottle attached to a piece of polished wood with which she had once launched a ship, and the little alarm clock in the form of a flower on a stalk, which was a parting gift from Caucus.

From page 2

The pope, whose included audience Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Dimitrios I, praised Catholic Orthodox dialogue on a growing number of theological issues. "The Church must learn to breath again with its two lungs — the Eastern one and the Western one," the pope said. The pope linked his reaffirmation of ecumenical commitment with a reminder of the primacy of the bishop of Rome. It was through "the mysterious design of providence" the lives of t wo saints ended in Rome, the pope said. As the inheritor of the Church of Peter and Paul, the pope said, the bishop of Rome has the mission of leading "the flock of the whole church." Dialogue with Protestant churches, he said, had resulted in "fruitful collaboration" in the areas of social problems. peace and tustice, and evangelisation. He said the Catholic Church is "seriouslystudying" the report of a ioint commission of the World Council of Churches on baptism, the Eucharist and ministry. He said the Church -will make its position known in due time." The pope's point that serious differences in faith should not be glossed over echoed talks earlier in the year by Dutch Cardinal Johannes Willebrands, head of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity. From page 5

Dorothy Tangney never married, and in fact, apart from that remark, made no reference to any men in her life. Perhaps after the man she truly loved had died, she realised that as a woman with a purpose, with a huge job to be done and health that held her back from time to time, it would be better to commit her life and self to the job in hand. Whatever the reasons, that is precisely what she did. Her life was her work and when destiny saw her a casualty of constitutional change in 1967 and her parliamentary career brought to a sudden

The stage play to which I refer in the third paragraph was written by Robert Bolt, a non-Catholic, in the early 1960s. It was called A Man for All Seasons. It was said in the preface of that play it was about . . . "the individual in authoritarian society" and it went on to assert ". . . in the modern world, as in Tudor England, a man must decide at what point he will stand firm when the State tries to dictate what he shall think". That quotation seems to come close to the core of what Father Brendan Bradshaw was on about in his first public lecture here. To at least one of his 400odd audience (although to most. I am sure) he succeeded in not only allaying our fears about revisionism but in putting Saint Thomas More on a higher footing still.

GALA BALL NIGHT

Door sales totalled an unexpected 25 per cent of revellers at the YCW Ball last weekend. Familiar mottos such as "contact, friendship and influence" rang true as a capacity crowd of 400 young workers enjoyed the gala annual function. The organisers were overwhelmed when 100 people arrived without tickets. Fortunately no one was turned away, but supplies needed to be hurriedly increased. YCW diocesan president, Elizabeth Chidlow was heard to say "it's the best ever", while one of yesteryear's youth, Bernard Lawrence said: "I'm delighted to see young people dressed formally — they look great." Rod Evans' Carlton Hotel supplied the beer for the evening.

The 1985 YCW Ball will go down in Father Joe Parkinson's memoirs as the first diocesan event in his new role as Diocesan YCW Chaplain. He is pictured here with Danny Jobse (Rockingham), Rita Andretta (North Perth), Anita A ndretta (North Perth), Maria Brolese (Highgate), and Michael Kosieradzki (Burns Beach).

HAir /A hildren 's Story Hour It was a cool Saturday in September. Jim and his sister, Jane, were looking for something to do. "Here," their mother said. -Take these tulip bulbs and plant them in the back yard." 'We've never grown anything before," Jane objected. "It will be fun," their mother assured them. "You just dig a hole, put the bulbs in it, fill up the hole again and pour on some water." She held out five tulip bulbs. 'Two should be red when they bloom," their mum said. 'Two should be yellow and one should be white." Jane and Jim went out-

side. It was cool and windy. The leaves on the trees were beginning to turn red and gold. A few were falling slowly to the ground. "Let's plant them along this side of the house," Jane suggested. Jim measured off a footstep between the spots where they would dig the holes. "I wonder which ones will be red," Jane said. "I'd like them to be at the two ends of the row of flowers." They examined the dead-feeling, brown bulbs. They saw no signs of what colour the flowers might be. Jim dug the holes Jane

gently placed a bulb in each. They carefully pushed dirt back over the bulbs, filling up the holes. Jim got the hose and let water run over the buried bulbs for a few minutes. Then they went back inside. The days gradually became shorter and colder. Autumn changed to winter. Jane and Jim forgot all about their tulips. Then one morning Jim woke up to the sound of a chirping bird. Spring was in the air. The days were getting longer. Each week seemed a little warmer than the one before. "I wonder what happened to our tulips?" Jane asked one morning.

"They should be blooming soon," their mother answered. Each morning on the way to school, Jane and Jim walked around the house to where they had planted the tulip bulbs. For two weeks they noticed nothing. There was just dirt and a few leaves where they hoped to see tulips. Then it happened. Three slim, green shoots pushed through the damp black earth. Jane noticed them first. "Jim!" she shouted, "Look! They're growing. Our tulips are coming to life!" Jim was as excited as his sister. The next morning two more tender, green

shoots appeared. The shoots seemed to grow a little each night. Soon five beautiful tulips unfolded. Two were red. Two were yellow. One was white. Jim and Jane could hardly believe their eyes. It was wondrous to them. Each brown bulb had come to life.

ASTAIRE THE MAN, THE DANCER by Bob Thomas. With comments by Fred Astaire, published by William Collins, $22.95. Its more than 50 years since "the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire" first thrilled movie-goers, yet today his popularity is surging once again as new generations are discovering the Astaire magic, through videos of his movies and television documentaries devoted to him and his art. In Astaire The Man, The Dancer, Bob Thomas, longtime friend and note biographer of the stars, has recreated the life and work of the man who enchanted the world and whose characteristic grace and style have never been equalled. Now in his 80s, Astaire remains the symbol of elegance, charm and excellence. Acclaimed by every one of his peers, from Gene Kelly to Mikhail Baryshnikov, Fred's career began as a child, dancing with his sister Adele. They survived the gruelling life of vaudeville road shows to become the

When Adele quit the stage in 1932, to marry Lord Cavendish, Astaire went to Hollywood. His screen test for RKO studios elicited the now famous remark by a studio official: "Can't act. Slightly bald Also dances."

Fortunately for the struggling RKO, Fred was partnered with a young actress/ dancer called Ginger Rogers in Flying Down to Rio. He had fifth billing and three dance routines. It was enough. Audiences forgot about the star (Delores del Rio) and cast their vote for Fred and Ginger.

Together they embodied a new kind of romance, supremely sophisticated yet accessible to everyone. Their screen presence was electric. They went on to star in another nine memorable films, including The Gay Divorcee, Top Hat, Swing Time and Shall We Dance. And for the first time, this intensely private megastar -adds his own revealing comments about his youth; how he and the great choreographer Hermes Pan,

Converts like joggers A Process Called Conversion, by David K. O'Rourke, Op. Doubleday (New York, 1 985). 191 pp., $13.95. Reviewed by Thomas P. McDonnell. Catholics have long been conditioned, more or less by the sheer triumphalism of the past, to regard the phenomenon of religious conversion as something strictly Pauline in both its dramatic effects and in the efficacy of

its ostensibly divine purpose. That is to say, we have duly expected — if not demanded — that every Paul shall have had his Saul, and all the better if knocked from one's horse by a bolt of visionary lightning somewhere on the road to Damascus. That way, of course, leaves little doubt in anyone's mind as to w-hat has actually occurred. Today, however, in one of those rare blessings of the post-conciliar age. Catholics

by and large have become sophisticated enough to realise that, as the convert and Dominican author of this book says, the experience of conversion itself is more like a process — a very human process at that. Converts are like joggers insofar as they each may acutely experience, at one point or another, the loneliness of the long-distance runner whose goal may be dimly perceived but never clearly seen until the finish

new titles, new titles, new titles, new titles, new titles, new title Who's Who Of Jazz. by John Chilton, published by Papermac, $16.95. An A to Z jazz reference book on the lives of over a thousand musicians born before 1920. The informative biographies give the essential details of each musician's life and career, and jazz greats jostle with unknowns for the reader's attention. This completely revised edition adds much new information to the musical histories of the players, and the biographies of some of the major figures have been rewritten to incorporate recent research. The Complete Guide To Advertising, kr Torin Douglas, publishedby MacMillan London, $35. The 20th century's most successful industry is extensively documented here for the benefit and use of everybody, regardless of whether they work in the dynamic business of advertising or not. Its appeal to the general public is assured because of the hundreds of "familiar" advertisements which are backed by a solid text of facts and figures. With a foreword by Barry Day, Vice Chairman and Creative Director of McCann-Erickson Worldwide, this book gives the how and why of advertising providing examples of successes and failures, and the depth of insight is extensive.

Classic Vegetable Cookery. by Arto der Haroutunian, published by Sun Paperrnac, $14.95. An international collection of over 250 recipes prepared with the simple. nourishing and inexpensive ingredients of vegetables. They include soups, appetisers and dips, salads, casseroles, pies, savouries, sauces, pickles and relishes.

Cash From Your Kitchen, A Complete Guide to Home Catering, by Catherine Harris, published by MacMillan, $11.95.

With 150 delicious recipes for all occasions. Rituals, by Cees Nooteboom, published by Viking, $19.95. Inni Wintrop, dilettante, nihilist, lover of whores, thrives on chance encoun-

ters and inconsistency, floating comfortably on the open possibiities of the moment. Two men who are islands of order and regularity stand out from the crowd of faces known to hull in Amsterdam. Arnold Taads devotes himself to an inviolable routine while Philip, his son, patterns his days on the timeless simplicities of the Japanese tea ceremony. By imposing order on themselves, both contradict the nature of the modern world. A chilling and elegant novel of life in an age of disarray, Rituals is unique in character and style. It offers a new understanding of the symbolic value of objects and ceremonies in the present day.

Charley Gets The Picture, by John Spencer, published by Fontana. $4.95. Private Investigator. Charley Case is back with a vengeance in this fast-reading, humorous and racy American thriller by the author of A Case For Charley. When Andy Ptomak, a friend of Charley's meets his death in a hit-run car accident, Charley is sure there is something more sinister involved. Andy's camera turns up a long way from the accident scene and the last frame shows a picture of himself running towards his car at the time of the accident.

line is at hand (and which is only the beginning of a greater race still). In "A Process Called Conversion." Father O'Rourke interweaves his own religious experience with the personal accounts of three other converts named Julie. Margaret and Edmund. Though no doubt unique persons in themselves, the generally bland and merely limpid tone of the narrative makes them sound rather too much alike. It all sounds so, if you'll pardon the expression. processed One can readily imagine this interweaving of narratives as a workable script for a television feature on the experience of conversion.

‘.

Perhaps the most valuable part of the text is Father O'Rourke's sensible use of the four stages of conversion as related to his own and the three other stories: ( 1) awareness; (2) election;( 3) initiation; and (4) assimilation. It is this sense of thoroughness of approach which gives to Catholic d'h* conversion an authenticity not readily available, say, in the wholesale emotionalism of fundamentalist camp meetings. Only about five years ago, curiously enough. Doubleday published another booked called "Turning: Reflections on the Experience of Conversion." by Emilie Griffin, which may be used as supplementary reading to Father O'Rourke's volume. Griffin's treatment has the advantage of dealing with decidedly stronger characters who have exemplified the experience of conversion, people like C.S. Lewis, Thomas Merton and Bede Griffiths, to say nothing of Chesterton, Hopkins and Newman. Father O'Rourke's book, however, has the advantage of presenting a more deeply psychological account of the conversionary experience itself, especially as seen in harmony with Catholic principles.

TENNIS

The men's winter tennis pennant competition began last week with four teams competing in each of the three divisions. In the men's A grade Willetton showed they have improved from last season when they defeated Lynwood 7 sets 57 games to 3 sets 45 games. It was a very close match in which two sets were decided on tiebreakers and one set was won 7 games to 5. Willetton won all three sets. If Lynwood had been able to clinch those sets the result would have been reversed. In the other A grade match Queens Park proved too experienced for Pignatelli, winning 9 sets 58 games to 1 set 31 games. The B grade had an exciting start to the season with Dianella and Applecross fighting out a cliff hanger. These two teams have always been evenly matched and this game was no exception. Dianella won the match 5 sets 50 games to Applecroas 5 sets 48 games. The other match was not as close with Pignatclli defeating Willetton 8 sets 56 games to 2 sets 32 games. The two matches in the C grade competition failed to produce any close results. Pignatelli defeated Willet-

ton 7 sets 48 games to 3 sets 39 games and Greenwood easily accounted for Queens Park 9 sets 58 games to 1 set 24 games. This week's matches were all abandoned due to wet weather. ANNUAL MEETING The annual general meeting of the association is to be held on Sunday August 11, at 4.30pm at the Pignatelli Tennis Club, Attadale.

KARRINYUP ARCIC SUCCESSFUL FINALE At Karrinyup for the past six weeks, 40 members of the Catholic and Anglican parishes have met in five groups to discuss the ARCIC final report. For the finale, all participants with their wives and husbands held a casserole tea at Our Lady of Good Counsel school last Friday night where they were welcomed by Father Geoff Beyer and Rev Robert Anderson. During the evening several group's leaders reported positive reactions to the inter-church disussions. It was felt the impetus must carry the churches forward toward ultimate unity in faith and worship. Consideration is being given to regular sharing in prayer and community care groups. The effort of the parishes in the exercise had been satisfying and encouraging.

The Science and Mathematics Education Centre provides its own summary of the event. . . " Research in mathematics and science classes (years 6-12) in Western A ustralia suggests that engagement opportunities are not equal for all students. The predominant use of whole class interactive settings limns the possible types of student engagement and the types of teacher-student interactions. As a consequence, a small group of 'Target' students monopolise public interactions with the teacher and receive more performance feedback than others in the class These and other differential engagement patterns limit the learning opportunities of many less able students and girls. ' The seminar will deal with relationships between activity settings, student engagement, the cognitive demands of the academic work and assessment of student work.

FOCOLARE FAMILIES Fourteen couples discovered how to create unity in their family life in the light of the Gospel at a weekend organised by the New Families Movement, an international group of the Focolare Movement. The meeting was organised and conducted by Brian and Denise Mills of Doubleview at the "Manapolis" Centre in Morley. They said the way to unity in the family is by putting the words of the gospel into practice in their daily lives. Many couples shared their experiences of how they had brought harmony to their families by taking seriously the words of Jesus. "Everyone left feeling they had a greater understanding of how to help family life grow and a renewed enthusiasm to achieve this" Brian Mills commented afterwards. Denise Mills explained the spirituality of the Focolare is well suited to family life because it centres on unity in all its aspects. The New Families hold monthly meetings for couples as well as having one or two weekends a year, picnics, barbecues and family holidays throughout the year. The next meeting is the annual "Mariapolis", open to families and to all ages and every walk of life at the Noalimba Centre Bateman from September 11-15.
