profound pain, my disquiet, my prayer concerning the fresh, bloody confrontations which have developed over these recent days in South Africa, and which worry all Africa and the entire world." Renewed racial strife in South Africa claimed at least 65 lives in the five days preceding the pope's remarks. "May God receive all those victims in his peace," the pope said. "May he inspire all to wisdom, just conduct, a feeling of respect for the dignity of others and a will for peace, so as to put an end, without delay, to

all discrimination which is unworthy of man, and all violence, which is ruinous for man." Earlier, Vatican press Joaquin spokesman who Navarro-Valls, accompanied the pope in Africa, released a statement in which he said: "Pope John Paul profoundly deplores the situation in South Africa. "Almost every day the pope informs himself of the development of the situation. He asks God to inspire all with feelings of peace, of justice and respect for everyone. "The issue of apartheid — which is inadmissible — touches the fundamental rights of man. And the pope wishes to defend the body of rights of man, without which there is no dignity. • See also pages 2 and 3.

Cursillo has its seminar

Focus on Africa CAPE TOWN (NC): In the wake of nationwide unrest, killings and arson, retired Cardinal Owen McCann of Cape Town has asked a national convention of leaders to draw up a just constitution, acceptable to all. Speaking to the Institute of Race Relations, he said the leaders should work on a charter of fundamental rights for everyone. 'They must insist that the rule of law would operate and enshrine that principle and include economic as well as social and political rights," he said. 'The people must choose what type of government they want. "Each according to his or her ability has the right to participate in government, and that means power-sharing." One type of constitution would enshrine minority rights but include the key features of consensus and proportional representation, Cardinal McCann emphasised. Last year, South Africa's whites-only government was replaced by a three-house system which allowed limited participation by Indians and Coloureds — people of mixed race. However, the black majority still has no voice in the government. The Southern African Catholic Bshops Conference formally has condemned the new system as unjust. "A genuine sharing of power has to be achieved so that all citizens participate," Cardinal McCann said. "A form of a federation or consociation must be worked out. This needs much consultation and deliberation."

MELBOURNE: The national conference of the Cursillo movement is being held at St Mary's College, Parkville this week. The conference is held every two years and is open to all members of the Cursillo. The Cursillo was founded in Spain in the mid-1940s. Cursillo members look at their relationship with Christ, with themselves and others, and experience the reality of the Gospel in a living way in an atmosphere of acceptance and support. Conference participants look at the role each is called to play in Christianising his or her environment under the theme: Let us build the city of God. Workshops examine conversion, community and mission under the questions: 'Who do I say I am? Who is my neighbour?" Inquiries about the conference should be directed to Pat Connelly on (09) 332 7031

Nairobi congress breaks new NAIROBI: Pope John Paul spent several days at the 43rd International Eucharistic Congress opened here this Sunday — the first to be held on the African continent since congresses began in 1881. The pope was unable

to attend the last centenary congress in Lourdes because he was still recuperating from the attempt on his life. A year of pastoral preparation has taken place in the parishes of Kenya including study of the

congress theme "The Eucharist and the Christian Family." The eight day congress is expected to have a strong setting of indigenous music, song, dance and dress. The Australian representation at Nairobi includes several priests

and bishops and priests who were contemporaries of Nairobi's archbishop, Cardinal Maurice Otunga, when they were students in Propganda College, Rome 35 years ago. The late Cardinal Knox of Melbourne was a college vice rector in Rome

SYDNEY: In the last few months of 1984, the people of Australia gave more than $18 million to help the suffering people in Africa, particularly in Ethiopia. The $18 million was raised by the voluntary aid agencies through their various appeals. The Australian people have shown their concern and generosity.

Australians Ii IIIsregard BOWRA & 0 DEA "We have focus groups on topics such as homeless youth, and education and employment."

The greatest problem affluent employed,

healthy Australians have is they regard Christianity as a matter of good manners and proper behaviour. They can be "Christian" simply because they stand up when a lady wants a seat on public transport and because they do not fiddle their tax returns too much. So says the Reverend Gordon Moyes, superintendent of Wesley Central Mission, who launched a perceptive attack on Australian society for its disregard of Christianity and the Bible. Mr Moyes was speaking at the Lyceum Church In A Theatre, Sydney, where he delivered the Bible Society in Australia's 12th annual Oliver Beguin Memorial Lecture "The sort of civil religion which holds that decent behaviour is the requirement of being Christian is the most difficult stronghold of paganism that needs to be penetrated with the Gospel," Mr Moyes said. "That is precisely where the Scriptures prick our pretensions and hold up a mirror so we see ourselves as we really are beneath our mask of decency. "The Scriptures reveal us as we are and as we ought to be, and show us how in Christ Jesus our lives can be changed and renewed." Mr Moves said while the secular society rejects the relevancy of Scriptures,

Bible Record Special Service those using them discover they are incredibly alive. "The Bible, when read, meditated upon, and actualised, begins to throb with remarkable power and conviction," Mr Moyes said. "The problem is not that the Scriptures are incredible, but that they refuse to be irrelevant."

EEO Australian society, however, continued to look at them as irrelevant, he said. Mr Moyes also pointed to the lack of a Christian spiritual foundation in our education system: "The secular humanist divorces soul and mind, hence education proceeds in a moral vacuum," he said.

"There are no moral mores, or spiritual aspects to be considered. "Yet not to commit yourself to a spiritual viewpoint is to commit yourself to a moral merry-go-round. The student who is not taught to stand for something, falls for anything. You cannot divorce moral values and education. "To educate a person without a moral viewpoint is to create a social menace "The most helpful thing any Christian church can do is to help a lost and despairing generation discover the Word of God abides for ever and is real, reliable, and relevant to the personal situation." The Bible Society is the world's largest interdenominational mission organisation, working in 180 countries and territories.

Tribute on settlement

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr Poul Hartling, has paid tribute to Dr Laszlo Benyei, Resettlement Director of the Australian Council of Churches, who retired on July 31, 1985, after 30 years service. Mr Hartling said in a telex message, "Your retirement, while a sad occasion for your ACC colleagues, nonetheless offers me a welcome opportunity to pay tribute to your many years of dedicated and selfless service to refugees.

"Having been a refugee yourself, you have devoted almost 40 years to resettling other displaced persons and were the prime force in helping more than 88,000 people find new homes in Australia." Mr Gerry Hand, Melbourne MP, representing the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs, said at the reception to honour Dr Benyei, The role of churches has been very significant in the resettling of refugees. "Dr Benyei has been devoting the last 30 years tirelessly to this important work.

New worship book to publish Services are all listed ADELAIDE: A directory outlining community services provided by the Catholic Church in Adelaide was launched last week by Archbishop Leonard Faulkner and South A ustralian Community W elfare Minister, Mr Greg Crafter. The publication illustrates the input in personnel and resources made by the Church in providing welfare support — much of which is made possible through the support of government funding. It will be distributed widely throughout the community through parish and school outlets, the Citizens' Advice Bureau, other Church agencies and the whole spectrum of welfare information services. "If the Church is to be true to its founder and head, Jesus Christ, we must be interested in those who are disadvantaged and those in need of special attention and Archbishop c are," Faulkner said. "The launching of the booklet gives me great pride — I am very grateful to all those people who make up the network of services the directory outlines." Catholic Family Welfare Bureau director, Mr Joseph O'Neill, said there has long been a need for a Catholic services directory. "For the first time we have set out in one booklet the whole range of services community offered by the Church," he said. "Many of the services are not well-known, even though they are used extensively.

Since the Second Vatican Council, the need for such a worship aid for parishes has become increasingly apparent and the Catholic Worship Book fulfils this need admirably.

Bishop Healy blesses the extensions to the Kalgoorlie Primary on a visit to the Goldfield recently.

Special emphasis has been placed on providing music for the Liturgy of the Word by way of settings for the Responsorial Psalms and Gospel Acclamations.

Extensions to Kalgoorlie Catholic Primary School have been blessed by Bishop Healy and officially opened by Mr Graeme Campbell MHR.

Each Sunday and feast has the assigned psalm set to music and in addition, there is a representative number of the psalms selected by the lectionary for the seven sacraments, funerals, dedication of churches and religious professions. As the book gives both the outline of the rite and the music for the celebration, parishes could be saved considerable time spent in preparing participation booklets for the various occasions. It is to be hoped the Catholic Worship Book will be the means of providing parishes across Australia with a common core of liturgical music, enabling a shared expression of our common Faith in song — something which has been found lacking by many Catholics in recent years. To introduce this book, an invitation is extended to interested persons to attend the 10 am Mass at St Mary's Cathedral on Sunday, September 22.

Topic for groups

Goldfields expansion

Catholic schools are high users of primary and secondary, radio and television, ABC education programs. If these services are drastically cut Mr Dight said schools will have to do without or find the money and expertise to replace the services. "The last option is very difficult in the current financial climate," he said. There have been indications of a 27 per cent cut in direct funds to education programs (some states may carry a greater burden of cuts). the axing of all secondary radio programs, the merging of school television

by FIONA A THERSMITH with children's television, and the removal of education production from all states, but New South Wales and Victoria. "The cuts could disadvantage thousands of kids around Australia," Mr Dight said. He said the average inschool audience for ABC education programs is estimated at 170,000 students for primary television, 135,000 students for primary radio, 25,000 students for secondary television and 10,000 students for secondary radio. SA supervisor of ABC education, Mr Tony Ryan, believes the ABC should continue its commitment to schools.

The decision in 1983 to amalgamate the secondary colleges to form the co-educational John Paul College and to retain the boys to year seven in the parish primary school made the provision of extra classrooms on the Kalgoorlie site imperative. The attractive two storey brick building was designed by Mr G.J. Looten, consulting chartered engineer and constructed by Palmerston Building Company. A feature of the classrooms is the individual withdrawal-store room. The building is fully airconditioned and supplied with panel gas heating. The toilet blocks provide facilities for the disabled. Boys' and girls' toilets are fitted with automatic hand drying equipment. Originally estimated at $311,600, the project has been completed for $261,844. A Commonwealth Schools' Commission general building grant of $191,600 was offered on the original estimate.

"However, the Archdiocese administration from its believes that it is influencing all its organisations, right through to parishes, to provide working conditions for lay staff, not only in keeping with industrial awards, but to a level that the community would expect of the Church. "That level is applicable, not only to non-award employees, but also to the many voluntary workers who provide a service towards the mission of the Church." Following this statement, the seminar looked at Pope John Paul's encyciical on work "Lahorem Exercens".

Participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire in order to gather some information on areas of concern for Church workers. The questionnaire covered questions pertaining to wages, conditions, pastoral care, in.service training and the like. The Church Workers' Assorepresenting ciation, National Church Workers; Diocesan Workers, Regional and Parish Youth Workers; Parish Workers, Movements and Associations; Religious Men and Women; Volunteers; Lay Theological Students was formed in the latter half of 1983.

The Record, 22 — 28 August, 1985

Physical attacks on priests, breaking and entering of churches and presbyteries to steal money and valuables, and thefts from Catholic schools are worrying evidence of the worsening pattern of youthful social behaviour. It is a trend to which Catholic Church Insurances Ltd (CCI), insurer of Church property for 74 years, is fully alive and against which it is taking vigorous defensive measures. State manager Bob Fragomeni recounts in 1911 Australia's bishops decided the Church should have its own insurance company to protect its property, and CCI was formed. Initially it had only a single representative in WA, but over the years it gradually developed its operations here to the stage where it now has a fully-staffed office. The national company is wholly owned by the Catholic Church. Kevin Robert (Bob) Fragomeni, WA manager of Catholic Church Insurances Ltd, was born at Subiaco on October 6, 1950. H e was educated at Catholic primary schools at Queen's Park, Bayswater and Maylands before attending the Marist Brothers' schools at Subiaco and Churchlands (now Newman College). His first job was with Australian Capital Assurances Ltd, later taken over by the South British United Group, and he stayed with the organisation for 1342 years. In 1979 he joined Catholic Church Insurances Ltd (CV) and was employed in the Perth branch until 1982 from when he spent two years in Sydney as the NSW assistant manager. In May of last year he r eturned to Perth as under-study to State manager Pat Tormey leading up to Pat's retirement and took over as WA manager in January this year. Bob and his wife Leanne (nee Jones) belong to the Whitfords parish and they have two sons aged four and two. Bob, a member of the Knights of the Southern Cross, is on the Padbury Catholic Primary School board which serves the parishes of Whitfords, North Beach and Hamersley.

The years have also brought a substantial broadening of its coverage. It insures churches, schools, presbyteries and convents against damage, fire burglary and theft. It covers fields such as workers compensation, public liability, student accident and the motor vehicles of religious and clergy among its activities. The underwriting of workers' compensation for institutions such as Catholic hospitals and public liability for Catholic schools are two main areas of concern through the variety of "compo" claims in places like hospitals and the liability aspect in schools.

CI El CI A lesser worry is the attitude of some young people towards breaking and entering schools for vandalism, burglary and theft. The introduction of such modern equipment as comuters and video cassette recorders into most institutions of learning, Catholic or otherwise, has put schools on the top of the favourites list for thieves. Bob reflects the situation has deteriorated markedly over the past five years, but CCI has not sat idly by. It has lately produced four videos for Catholic schools throughout Australia on public liability with a view to maintaining teaching staff awareness of the need for adequate supervision and knowledge of a school's liabilities towards its students. It recently produced two

The theme of the program is: "Beware of the danger of fire and be prepared to cope with emergencies." The company thought it was time it took more active part in helping schools to prepare for firebomb threats and the like. The video kit includes heavy-duty vinyl stickers to mark clearly things such as fire-appliances, exits and strategicallyplaced emergency assembly areas.

possible dangers within the school, and of the need for planned evacuation drill. The videos and kits are free of charge to all schools. Later this year, Bob says, CCI will produce videos dealing with all aspects of security within parishes and schools emphasising prevention of burglary and theft. The company has available on request engraver pens enabling schools to engrave all their solid equipment to help its recovery if it is stolen and to deter thieves who find such marked equipment difficult to off-load. The company will eventually maintain a library of videos so showings can be arranged for interested parties. 'We have to be a step ahead all the time," Bob says, "in coping with the social problems the insurance industry is facing. "CCI's very experienced staff continually advise parishes on the security of churches, presbyteries and convents. "Recent attacks on priests have made the clergy very security conscious and big sums of money are rarely kept on church or presbytery premises. 'Where this is sometimes unavoidable, CCI has always advised priests to have adequate safes." At the end of each financial year — after reserves have been provided for — CCI extracts from remaining profit, funds to cover what is called free per-

sonal accident insurance for religious and clergy. The idea is to provide a weekly amount in the event of personal injury to offset additional costs incurred in the running of the parish or school. The cover also provides death and total disability benefits. The scheme is open to all clergy and religious who have insured their property with CCI. Later this year the company will launch the CCI Scheme Scholarship open to all Catholic primary schools in each state.

It is designed to offer students the opportunity to further their education in Catholic secondary schools. Primary students will be invited to apply for entry to the scheme which will start in the third term this year. "It is important," Bob says, "that the Church receives proper insurance advice in view of its substantial assets throughout Australia. "Because it has been in business for almost 75 years and has specialised solely in Church activities,

we feel CCI is best qualified to offer this advise " Bob's latest sporting enthusiasm is particiating in an indoor cricket competition, in a team of mixed gender called Different Strokes which includes his wife and men and women members of her family. "The girls performed particularly well," he adds, "and they were an important factor in our playing off in the grand final — which we lost — in our first year in the competition."

Philippines' conference decision MANILA: The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines last month issued a firm statement condemning terrorism in the nation. Speaking with sadness about the utter disregard for human life, the bishops denounced "the murder, specifically of persons whose work is dedicated to the service of others: newspaper and radio people, labor leaders, doctors, lawyers, civil officials, church workers, Protestant ministers and priests like Father Tullio Favali, PIME, and Father Alberto Romero." The bishops placed the murder of media persons on top of their lists because, in the month of June alone five radio broadcasters were killed.

Bishops in attack on terrorists In the past two years, 19 have died or disappeared and all but five of the cases remained unsolved. The bishops also denounced "execution of civilians suspected as subversives by the Right, or as informers and 'enemies of the people' by the Left."

Israelis t Nigerian honour missions to US officials

E BERUN: An ecumenical congress using Esperanto was held in Augsburg, West Germany, in late July. Participants came from 28 different countries. They took part in a discussion of the second Vatican Council's Decree on Ecumenism, and also read Luther's Small Catechism, and the Declaration of Augsburg, using an Esperanto version of the texts.

The Vatican has strongly denied a report by an Italian communist newspaper that the Vatican bank made $172 million worth of loans to the South African Government. The report appeared in the Rome communist daily, II Manifesto, claiming it was based on a World Council of Churches report. A WCC official has also denied the newspaper story.

The bishops of England and Wales have said they found "widespread acceptance and welcome among Catholics for the teachings" of the Second Vatican Council In a document submitted to Rome in preparation for the extraordinary Synod of Bishops in November, the bishops said the Church must stress the importance of ecumenism, saying that the interaction between Catholics and other Christians has "given rise to greater expectation of further ecumenical progress.-

Ordination valid says Vatican

VATICAN: In a decision with possibly far-reaching ecumenical consequences, the Vatican has declared a US priest of the Polish National Catholic Church is already validly ordained. The priest, Father Melvin Walczak of Rochester, NY, is now ministering in the Roman Catholic Church without re-ordination. Bishop Matthew Clark of formally Rochester accepted Father Walczak and his family into the Catholic Church in a private ceremony in mid-June and made the priest a member of the Rochester diocesan clergy. Father Walczak is also married and has two teen-age children, but the Vatican did not consider those facts an obstacle to his carrying on ordained ministry in the Roman Catholic Church, The Vatican decision to recognise Father Walczak's 1968 ordination appears to apply to all orders received by priests of national Churches belonging as the PNCC does, to the Old Catholic Union of Utrecht. The PNCC, which claims about 300,000 members in the US and Canada, was formed from a series of Polish Catholic immigrant groups which broke from communion with Rome at the turn of the century. The split was not over doctrine, but chiefl), because of administrative or other disputes between Polish-American parishes and the predominantly IrishAmerican and German American hierarchy of the time.

Palazzini, Cardinal through a group he was working with, placed Tagliacozzo in a house where other Jews were hidden.

Tagliacozzo escaped the Nazis again and hid for more than two months with a Baptist minister and his wife.

Treading lightly on life When I was 17 I became a Catholic. I tell that here because, for me, it recalls so much about the roles other people have taken in my life. Sometimes it is the difficult or painful events in life that become a source of change or that cause faith to deepen. But, without question, people were influential in changing the entire course of my life. I was a senior in high school when I decided to become a Catholic. A year earlier, I had gotten a part-time job in the Catholic hospital a block from my home. The Bernardine Sisters who ran t he hospital were warm and caring women. I don't recall what I thought sisters would be like. But I didn't expect them to become friends or to take an active interest in me. Perceiving t hem as people who really cared about me made a great difference.

Monastery One day in the hospital I met a Benedictine seminarian whose late vocation led him into a monastery in his early 30s. By then my own f ather had become seriously ill with the cancer that would later take his life. As I recall it now, this Benedictine made a special effort to get to know me - perhaps because he had learned of my father's illness and was wondering what effect it was having on me. In any e vent, he became a friend.

At that time I didn't really know what a monastery was. But I've always been a curious person, so when my new friend invited me to visit his monastery — his home — I accepted enthusiastically.

Visited There we visited for hours and I came to see what the Benedictine life was. I ate with the monks a nd, though not a Catholic, went to the chapel when they were at prayer. When my friend t ook vows, I was invited to attend. I was impressed with the dedication of those with their monks friendliness and their seriousness about life's meaning. w as changed by all that and, I hope, by God. through my Benedictine friend, I was drawn toward the Church. This story must include mention of the pastor who gave me instructions in Catholicism. Throughout my senior year in high school, I went each week to his rectory. The instructions, however, took more weeks t hat I thought they would. I couldn't understand why things were not moving ahead much faster. After all, my mind was made up to join the Church. Little by little I gained an impression that the pastor didn't want to rush ahead too fast.

Today I think he used good judgment. Guiding a 17-year-old boy, he probably was concerned t hat a big decision not be made too quickly and regretted later. He might have been concerned that the decision would be made under the emotional pressure of my father's illness. But believe me, I couldn't understand all of this back then. We lived in a small city and the pastor knew my parents. One day, coming

home from school, I saw his car parked outside our home. Later my mother told me he had come to discuss my becoming a Catholic. And he had been told it was all right with my parents. Still, things didn't rush ahead. Somewhere along the line, through some process of osmosis, I discovered that the pastor was concerned that I might need a supportive atmosphere for a while

after becoming a Catholic at such a young age. S upportive atmosphere? I immediately began to seek one out.

Influence With fairly typical teenage resolve to take care of thinks quickly, I applied t o a Catholic college, St John's in Minnesota, and w as accepted. That school was to have a permanent influence on me - on my attitudes, my goals, my way of thinking

The signs mark the crossroads, large and small, when I had to make decisions, had to change. I have not always welcomed the turns in the road in a calm way. But when I look back — from a safe distance — I see them as points when growth began, growth in faith and in personal maturity. Each time I look I see more clearly that God has been with me on the journey. So it is, I suspect, for most people.

the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation. One does not always deliberately choose to change. Sometimes the need to change and adjust comes upon us uninvited. Perhaps, without much warning, we must change jobs and move to another part of the country. In the process we are forced to give up the pleasure of having our close friends n earby. Countless numbers of mobile people today could testify to the pain this can cause and to how they've been changed by it. A woman I know came upon a crossroad in her life when her daughter, for a time, joined a religious cult and abruptly left home for a couple of years. The mother was t axed physically and emotionally in every w as. For her it was a virtual calamity. Yet, she knows she grew in inner stature as she coped with the situation. The circumstances did not make the mother feel happy and carefree, hut they did pull her toward growth. For me. books often occasion change. They can affect the way I see t he world, myself or God. Some authors are able to direct my attention in new ways. I was raised in New Y ork City and was always more "into" mass t ransportation than "into" nature. So a few years ago, when I was introduced to the contemporary writer, May Sarton, I felt like I was touching nature for the first time. Ms Sarton unlocked a door for an urban dweller like me. On the other side of that door are winter trees and stars, patterns of sunrise and sunset. and signs of God's presence that for me were blurred before. In faith we continue down new and perhaps larger paths even when. like Bilbo, we cannot say w here they will lead. For who can fathom the mind of God?

Feeding the multitude

The story of how Jesus fed the multitude with a few loaves and two fishes is one of the most significant accounts in the gospel G tra od s piteiolsn.. It can be found in all four Mark, followed by Matthew, preserved t wo interpretations of the event. In Mark, the disciples have just returned from the first missionary journey. Jesus is concerned to find an out-of-the-way place to relax. The desert setting will play an i mportant role in Mark's interpretation of the feeding of the multitude. As in so many instances, it is impossible to recover the original happening entirely. For it is the meaning of what happened that preoccupied the followers of Jesus. T entatively, we may say that on one occasion Jesus furnished food for a considerable group of people in a miraculous way. How many people? That is not really the p oint. The fact that the numbers vary from a ccount to account suggests that this detail was not of primary concern. E vidently this story was told and retold as the Christian communities looked back on the original event and reflected on its significance in the light of the Old Testa-

By Father John J Castelot ment and of their Christian experience. In the light of Psalm 23, "The Lord is my s hepherd," Jesus emerges here as the good shepherd giving His people repose in verdant pastures. In Mark's account, Jesus bids his disciples to have the people sit down on the green grass. Like the shepherd in the psalm, he "spreads the table before" the multitude. The story is also reminiscent of how God fed His people with manna in the desert, as t old in the Old Testament book of Numbers. The dialogue betwen the disciples and Jesus recalls the question of Moses: "Where can I get meat to feed all these people?" In the book of Numbers, the people are described as "like sheep without a s hepherd." Again, there is the Old Testament story a bout Elisha's feeding of 100 men with a few barley loaves in the second book of K ings: "And when they had eaten, there was some left over." As the first Christians told and retold the

story, and as they reflected on it in light of the Old Testament texts, they saw more and more meaning in it. The most important aspect of the story, however, was its eucharistic aspect. The Christians came to view the feeding of the multitude as a sort of pre -sacramental Eucharist. It is interesting that, just as their worship included the elements of word amd sacrament, so too in this account, the first reaction of Jesus to the shepherdless crowd is to "teach them at great length". Then He proceeds to feed them. Notice, too, how the fish gradually fade from the picture and attention is concentrated on the bread. Jesus' action is described in terms borrowed directly from the e ucharistic liturgy itself: "Jesus raised His eyes to heaven, pronounced the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to distribute.That the eucharistic significance of the event was paramount in the minds of the Christian communities is indicated by the fact that all six versions of the event have strong eucharistic overtones. The Record, 22 — 28 August, 1985 9

The 'time bomb' of hidden grief In the past mothers of stillboms or critically illbabies were automatically placed on a ward away from mothers of healthy babies. This was done in an effort to protect the grieving mother from the harsh reality that her baby died while other babies lived. That practice was consistent with the general approach to neonatal death — that of denial. The aim was to encourage the mothers to believe that they had not lost anything while little or no thought at all was given to the feelings of the fathers. That same attitude carried through the days after death when "out of sight, out of mind" was thought to be the best way to cope with grief.

'The best care we can give you is not to protect you from the pain but to support you through it." That statement best typifies the attitude of King Edward Memorial Hospital's director for nursing, Miss Rosalind Denny and her staff toward those patients and their families who have suffered the loss of a baby. It is an attitude that has developed steadily over the years as the evidence has mounted that the needs of grieving parents were not being met. The traditional policy of "out of sight, out of mind," far from helping, was in fact hindering the natural process of grief and laying the groundwork for years of unresolved pain. It was some 10 years ago

But times have changed andhospitals are generally more sensitive to the needs of the bereaved. In the particularly poignant area of neo-natal death, where life is extinguished before it has barely begun, King Edward Memorial Hospital is leading the way in helping parents to bear the deep and almost unbearable pain of birth/death. This week, ROSLYN ROSS talks with Miss RosalindDenny, Director of Nursing at KEMHandher assistant director of nursing, Miss Alma Martin who is in charge of the Department of Newborn Services and Charge Nurse, Miss Robyn Collins about what is being done to help parents for whom, "Hello", has sadly come to mean "Goodbye".

the Sudden and Neo Natal Death Support Group was formed in Perth.

by ROSLYN ROSS

There is only one beautiful child in the world and every parent has it.

With its formation came new pressure to encourage hospitals to take an active role in supporting patients through the grieving process, rather than protecting them from it. At KEMH the emphasis is on facing the reality of death. The parents are encouraged to hold their dying baby, and,

in fact, to continue to hold it after death for as long as they wish. 'We find it is important for the parents to cuddle the babies," said Miss Martin, the assistant director of nursing. "Many will cuddle them for hours after death and we have a room where they can sit for as long as they like."

The caring attitudes of staff mean that very often a mother will return at a later date to talk things over . . . to re-explore her baby's death For the past four years, hospital policy has been to take a photo of the baby, to make foot and handprints and to retain cot -cards. These are offered to the parents although many choose not to take them at the time. The hospital began the practice because it was found the majority of mothers returned some months later desperate for a photo of their child. 'We even take a lock of their hair," added Charge Nurse, Robyn Collins. She said there was always a lock of hair to be found, even on babies who appeared to be bald. The evidence, they say, is more and more do not resolve their grief if there is no tangible evidence of the baby to show to other people. It is important they add, for parents to see their dead child or they may never be able to truly accept the reality of its death. "I had a friend whose baby was full-term but died at birth," Miss Collins said. "It was beautiful but she did not see it. Since then she has had two more children but still talks all the time about the one she lost."

A dead child is never replaced, they say. Grief is not assuaged merely by having another baby. Certainly it provides distraction, but that is not dealing healthily with the problem. Research has also shown parents who have their babies cremated and the ashes scattered may also be unable to completely resolve their grief. -The reality is that in order to grieve properly people need something tangible," Miss Collins said. The first "tangible" evidence s when they see their child. Often parents are afraid of viewing their dead child because of what they imagine the child will look like. A parent may say, We would rather picture our baby in our minds as if she were alive." But research has shown that when parents only imagine what the dead child looks like, they later develop

outside world and never see another baby. . . they have to face the pain of it sooner or later so they may as well begin now." Facing the pain of grief is something, they say, which must largely be done alone. Grief hurts and that is why the temptation in the past has been to "stop the hurt- rather than to accept it and support people through it as a natural process of healing. distorted notions which may cause even worse feelings that crowd out the vision that they are trying to maintain. The fact is that parents are usually relieved and pleased when they do take the opportunity to see their baby. They almost always find out that the baby's actual appearance — as if in sleep — is far more comforting than any fantasy that they would have had to depend on their minds to create. Even when the baby is abnormal, says Miss Collins, it is still thought to be better for the parents to see it. 'The amazing thing is that they see what they want to see," she said. "Even if the deformity is gross, they will not 'see it', they will just see their baby who has died. 'We explain what it looks like and that it is not a monster "I've never seen anyone react badly to a grossly deformed baby. "The important thing is that no matter what it looks like they must grieve and to do that properly they must see it. "Even deformed babies are not necessarily deformed all over. . . they may have lovely

feet or hands, or some other part of them which is beautiful." Parents are encouraged to hold their baby because experience has shown those special moments not only enable parents to cuddle their baby while they say goodbye, but also provide treasured memories. These memories can then be stored away with the tangible treasures like photos, lock of hair, set of footprints and handprints, birth certificate, hospital identity bracelet . . . as a real and lasting record of someone who lived and was loved.

Ci To this end parents are also strongly encouraged to give their baby a name, preferably the one they had been planning for the child all along. As the saying goes: -Human beings should not die without their names being remembered or else human beings don't count.Don't "save" the name for your next child, they say. It rightly belongs to this one. Names are important. It gives the family something to use as they talk about the child to others.

The name can be used as the parents tell their other children about this special child in their life. It is also easier, they say, to connect your memories to this child if you can refer to him or her by name. Parents are also encouraged to bring in siblings and any close family members, Miss Martin said. "It is important that brothers and sisters and grandparents are involved in the grief process" In "sharing" the baby with family and friends the parents can also provide a rich store of precious memories. Holding the baby, bathing it, dressing it in a special outfit, talking to it, rocking it . . or just sitting with the baby and those you love and crying, is seen to be a warm and human way of allowing yourself to grieve. There are no hard and fast rules about grief, says Miss Collins. You can't expect people to cry today or tomorrow, they will all find their own way in their own time. Some parents will want to do as much as they can with the baby. . others will want to do little.

Each must choose for her or himself what they think will be helpful down the road. Performing physical activities may help to satisfy some of the intense desires to care for your baby, they say. These are the same desires which are anticipated when the baby was expected to be born alive. The fact that the child is dead does not automatically diminish the parents need to cradle, and speak words of love to her or him. Parents are also encouraged to be involved as much as possible in the burial of their baby.

DDE While the law says any baby under 27 weeks gestation does not need burial, parents are still encouraged to think carefully about how they may best handle their loss in a healthy and productive manner. There is a beautiful chapel at King Edward and it is frequently used. 'The chapel is in use almost every day," Miss Denny said, "and nine time out of 10 the baby is present for the service"

It is important, they all say, that parents see their child's body is present at the service. The baby is placed either in a casket or dressed and pin in a cot, Miss Collins said. "The parents might like to use something from the layette," she added. If the body is unpresentable then it is placed in a sealed casket but is still present in the chapel. "It doesn't matter how long you have been carrying the baby," Miss Collins said," nor what stage of development it has reached, it is still your child." Such services, she adds, are rarely held for babies under 20 weeks gestation but they

In the past, medication has been used much too freely in times of initial grief. This is no longer so. The policy now is that pain cannot be pushed under the carpet and the only medication that should be provided is a light night sedative if there is trouble sleeping — but only for a few days. The physical symptoms of grief are not pleasant but running away from the pain, or being tranquilised so you don't sob too much only postpones and prolongs your real pain. It is better, they say, to face what must be faced now while your family and friends are close by. For the nursing staff, dealing

It is important for the nursing staff to understand, so they may teach, that in grief, one can endure the day, just but when one the day . also tries to bear the grief ahead, one cannot compass

DEE For many women, they say, the situation is made even more difficult because their husbands fail to understand the depth of their grief. Although this is not to say men to not grieve as deeply, it is rather more the fault of the denial of death fostered by society and the behavioural expectations foisted upon both men and women. Very often, they add, the husband may act as he does because he sincerely believes the best thing he can do is "protect" his wife. Miss Denny said she remembered vividly the time when a man, who had lost his child through "cot-death", came to the hospital with absolutely everything that had been collected for the child.

From page 11 "His immediate response had been to clear everything out . . . out of sight out of mind. . . he did it for his wife and yet I couldn't help but think how tragic it was that she was not able to go into that child's room and work through her grief." At a time when husbands and wives need each other most desperately, they are often separated by the gulf of their own grief. People often cannot talk to those who are close to them because they are frightened it may cause pain. . . the reality is that the pain is there anyway and you can't run away from the truth. It is not just a matter of

WHAT'S ON SOCIETY IN COLLEGES The young Frenchman, Frederic Ozanarn, founder of the St Vincent de Paul Society 150 years ago, possibly did not envisage the long reaching effects of his initiative. At that point the newly formed body was spearheaded by university students. It subsequently developed a more mature form and it may therefore be a surprise to some to realise the society operates within colleges as well. Youngsters do admirable community work under the umbrella of the St Vincent de Paul Society — taking spastic children on camps during their holidays, wheelchair confinees to the Royal Show, visiting the sick and aged, fratemising in "C" class hospitals and responding generally to the needs of their area, whenever possible. They also assist when called upon by the adult branch of the Society. There are several colleges within the Perth area, who have active student members working for this cause Aquinas, CBC Fremantle and Leederville, Newman, Servile, St Marks, St Thomas More and La Salle. R ecently the latter three colleges enjoyed a get -together-to-swap-ideas picnic. The general camaradie exchanges resulted not only in a lot of fun, but enabled planning for common retreats and activities. The example of such community-aware students of today, bodes well for the future citizens of tomorrow. COLLEEN HOWARD

The night, hosted by TV compere Tony Barber was an outstanding success. A net of about $6,000 was raised through entry tickets and various competitions during the night.

The return trip to Bali flying Qantas with accommodation arranged by Professional Travel Services went to Mr Alex Small, of Scarborough. Mr Small will be making his first holiday in Bali. A feature of the evening was the number of competitors attending who had not previously been at quiz nights.

Anglican y outh synod The third annual Anglican Diocese of Perth Youth Synod and takes Celebration place this weekend at the Young Australian League Campsite, Araluen.

In this International Youth Year Pope John Paul II issued a special message to the youth of the world Like many of the pope's messages they are not brief This one is over 13,000 words. The following is an edited extract, the third of a series.

Youth is a special treasure. We shall begin the Gospel text. The young man goes away sorrowful, "for he had great possessions." MK.10.22. There is no doubt this refers to the material possessions of the young man. The Evangelist's words suggest another way of putting the matter: it is a question of the fact that youth is in itself (independently of any material goods) a special treasure of a \young man or

woman, and most often it is lived by young people as a specific treasure. There are objective reasons for thinking of youth as a special treasure. It is a period distinguished from childhood. It is also distinguished from the period of full maturity. Youth is the time of intense discovery of the human "I" and of the properties and capacities connected with it. Life presents itself as a carrying-out of that plan: as self-fulfilment". The treasure which is youth reveals itself in precisely this shape or form. This is the treasure of discovering and of organising, choosing, foreseeing and making the first personal decisions that will be important for the future in the strictly personal dimension of human existence. These decisions are of considerable social importance. The young man in the Gospel was precisely in this existential phase, as we can deduce from the questions he asks in his conversation with Jesus. The final words about "great possessions" —

meaning wealth — can be understood precisely in this sense: the treasure which is youth itself. But we must ask the question: does this treasure of youth necessarily alienate man from Christ? The Evangelist certainly does not say this: rather, an examination of the text leads us to a different conclusion. The decision to go away from Christ was definitely influenced only be external riches, what the young man possessed ("possessions"). Not by what he was! What he was, a young man — had led him to Jesus. And it had also impelled him to ask those questions which concern the whole of life. The youth of each one of you, dear friends, is a treasure that is manifested precisely in these questions. Man asks himself these questions throughout his life. But in the time of youth they are particularly urgent, indeed insistent. And it is good that this is so. These questions precisely show the dynamism of the development of the human

personality, the dynamism which is proper to your age. You ask yourselves these questions sometimes with impatience, and you yourselves understand that the reply cannot be hurried or superficial. The reply must have a specific and definite weight. It concerns the whole of life, that embraces the whole of human existence. These essential questions are asked in a special way by those members of your generation whose lives have been weighed down since childhood by suffering: by some physical lack of defect, some handicap or limitation, or by a difficult family or social situation

Stories of The feast, cancer

Book of worship the fast

The Catholic Worship Book, published by Collins/Dwyers in two editions: The People's Book, $8.95 and Full Music Edition, (price to Feasting and Fasting, by Paulette Maisner and Pulling, published by Fontana, $5.95. Reviewed be announced) with comments by the Reverend John Walsh, PhD, Jenny by Roslyn Ross. chairman of the Sydney Liturgy Commission. The facts about feasting and fasting are, quite These days, many people seem to be looking back over the last 20 years and giving an assessment of what has been achieved in the liturgical reform since December 4, 1963. That was the day the Constitution on the liturgy was promulgated by the Fathers of the Vatican Council. Everyone acknowledges that much has been done and this is true also of Australia. The impetus given to the promotion of liturgy in 1963 was welcomed throughout the world and the enthusiasm shown in the Australian Church was remarkable. It provoked many imaginative and effective initiatives from individuals and groups so that the principles of the reform came to be appreciated and much assistance was provided in their implementation. In the liturgy of the Word. the Responsorial Psalm is given special importance. In other words, the texts of the Macs itself are what should first of all be sung so that the congregation is actively involved in the essential prayers and actions of the Macs. in the liturgical movement in Australia. It has the approval of the Australian Episcopal liturgical Commission

and it will be available in a people's edition with words and music and a Full Music Edition. It has been prepared with much thought and effort and the editors have carefully selected the musical settings that will best suit Australian congre-

gations. Many styles of music are represented. There are eight Mass settings, numerous Gospel Acclamations and Acclamations after the Consecration. There are settings for the Responsorial Psalms and for

the Our Father. The music for the celebrant's greetings and the people's responses is given in full. All that the people need to sing the liturgy is provided. And there are also hymns — more than 200 of them.

— Exploring siam Islam in the World, by Malise Ruthven, published by Pelican, $ 9.95. Reviewed by Roslyn Ross. "If Christianity is quintessentially a religion of love, Islam is first and foremost a religion of communality and social justice." So says Ma'am! Ruthven who sets out to explore Islam in an attempt to understand just why it has become such an urgent political tOrce in the modern world. It is a complex religion with beliefs which range from primitive bigotry to the heights of spiritual and intellectual idealism. But Ruthven sees a positive side and says Islam offers the middle was out of the tortuous cultural schisms that have beset so many developing societies This is reflected in the role

of women who in some parts of the Arab world are allowed education and greater personal freedom. For those living in oversays cities, crowded Ruthven, the new style of "lawful dress" covering the body from head to foot, leaving only hands and face exposed, represents a new maturity.

''It is both a positive rejection of the false coquettishness that characterised earlier generations of "westernised" Muslim women, tyrannised by cosmetics and expensive hair-dos, and a way of securilng relief from the unwanted attentions of men in a milieu, where many men, fresh from the countryside, see Western dress as a harlot's uniform." It is of course a compromise for women but perhaps it shows a sensible way to bridging the gap and a way that will enable Islam to find a relevant place in the modern world. Ruthven says that Islam has a message that is worth listening to, but one that will have little meaning until we understand what lies behind it. His book goes a long way toward providing that knowledge.

honestly, horrific. I suspect the cases detailed represent extremes and it would be all too easy to become paranoid about your diet conscious teenager. Thankfully, we see few Pauline Seawards, although this book would say she was one too many. She died at the age of 24 following an enormous binge. Ms Seaward bad spent six years feasting and fasting. Her intestines were so badly damaged that she died of gastro-enteritis. Pauline Seaward suffered from bulimia nervosa, the medical term used to describe the eating disorder that is accompanied by self-induced romiting or the futile taking of laxathes or diuretics or both. What it amounts to is a horrific way to punish the body . . . . a sort of modern bairshirr. but one seemingly without purpose. Bulimia may be a mild-sounding word but its effects can be eery unpleasant, even dangerous. One of its hallmarks is a mouth of rotting teeth caused by the strong acid constantly washing over them. Repeated vomiting can also lead to loss of minerals. such as potassium, gastric disturbances from the loss of stomach secretions and even tearing of the oesophagus. Vocal cords become. inflamed and the victim is au-are of a puffy appearance: the eyes become bloodshot and, in extreme cases. the heart may be affected because of the see ere potassium imbalance or epiletic fits may occur. The authors suggest that in their experience. bulimia is often associated with some previous invohement in a slimming organisation where the sufferer was subjected to the bouquets and brickbats of fellow slimmers. Whatever the cause, bulimia is the other side of the coin to anorexia nerrosia and just as terrible.. The authors set nut to help sufferers aped their family and friends understand some of the causes of compulsive eating. They pinpoint the danger signals and symptoms to look out for, suggesting positive changes in lifestyle and nutrition designed to help the compulsive eater gain control

I Too Have Cancer, by Sister Angela (Fore-word by Caroline Jones), available from Elizabeth Mrs Appleby, Cathedral Close, 48 Newcomen Street NEWCASTLE NSW 2300. $2.50 plus 70C postage and packing. Reviewed by Sister Scholastica. This little booklet tells the stories of people with cancer, people whose ages range from nine years to well into middle age and beyond_ Because the stories are told by the people themselves, they have about them a sincerity and a depth that would otherv.ise be lacking_ They are poignant stories that carry a message of patience, acceptance and even joyfilled living in the midst of suffering. What, perhaps, is the most beautiful thing about them that not one of the people sees her/himself as particularly heroic. They are simply saying "Yes, I do have an incurable illness, but I am not going to allow that to prevent me from living as full and as happy a life as possible." In the words of Sister Angela, "Having travelled the cancer path myself. know it need not be an end but 1 new beginning." This little booklet is well worth the cost, especiallysince all proceeds go to the relief and care of cancer victims.

The Record, 22 — 28 August, 1985

TENNIS The finals of the men's winter tennis pennant competition were held last weekend in what were probably the best weather conditions experienced throughout the entire season. In the A grade Queens Park continued their dominance defeating Willetton seven sets 50 games to three sets 35 games. The Queens park team consisted of George Miszczyk, Peter and Brian Quain and Ron Smith. The experience and depth of this team once again proved too much for their opposition. Willetton were not disgraced as many sets were very close and the matches produced some long and exciting rallies. As predicted the B grade final produced a yen, close result with Pignatelli coming out on top defeating DianeIla 6 sets to 4 sets. After the singles and first round of doubles had been played Dianella had a four sets to two sets lead and looked like causing an upset. But Pignatelli team consisted of Laurie Ferris, Barry McMahon, Peter St John and Graham Reeves. Greenwood won their first ever pennant by defeating Pignatelli in the C grade nine sets 54 games to one set 30 games. It was a just reward to

SOLAHART DONATIONS Two Catholic charitable organisations have recently received major donations from leading Australian solar water heating manufacturer, Solahart The Emmanuel Centre for People with Disabilities and the Daughters of Charity's Ave Maria House have received more than $7000 worth of Solahart units which are expected to significantly reduce their energy bills. 'The offer to have dollars trimmed off our energy bills by making use of the sun's energy was a very welcome one," according to Emmanuel Centre co-ordinator, Mrs Barbara Harris. "Costs are always a burden and every dollar saved means more money to spend on other facilities," she said. The Emmanuel Centre provides accommodation for disabled and displaced people with special crisis bedding available 24 hours a day. The Daughters of Charity provide support and accommodation for destitute women and their children. "Both organisations are needy and provide an essential service to our community," according to Solahart's commercial manager, Mr Michael Burke.
