Tops WA RISES The 1985 Project Compassion Appeal raised a total of $2,874,423. This is almost 20 per cent higher than last year's figure. The appeal, which is a major fundraising campaign of Australian Catholic Relief, is held in every diocese in Australia during Lent. The money raised goes to support relief and development activities in the Third World and education program on development, justice and peace in Australia. Almost every diocese showed a substantial increase over the previous year, with Toowoomba leading the way. Catholics in Queensland's only inland diocese donated

Michael Whiteley $4-.89 1 — 47 per cent more than in the previous year. Other dioceses to show major increases were Rockhampton (43 per cent), Adelaide (40 per cent), Bunbury (33 per cent), Hobart (30 per cent) and Wollongong (27 per cent). ACR's national director, Michael Whiteley, said he was delighted with the results of the appeal. "Australian Catholics have obviously been deeply moved by the plight of the poor in Africa," he said.

The seventh annual Mariapolis of the Focolare Movement boasted the biggest attendance yet. Four hundred people gathered at the Noalimba Conference Centre in Bateman for four days of spiritual renewal. There were people of all ages, and many children. All categories were represented from businessmen to unemployed youth, professional people and housewives, grandmothers and young babies. Many came from country areas of Denmark, Mt Barker, Bunbury, Busselton, and even Port Hedland, as well as from all over the metropolitan area. Mariapolis means "City of Mary" and indeed that was the impression: a small city of all types of people with the difference there was no conflict but rather the only law is that of Christ, to love one another. In their impressions people spoke of feeling accepted as they were, of being loved, of being part of a "big family" even though it was perhaps their first contact with the Focolare. Talks and personal experiences were given on the theme of applying the Gospel message in one's daily life, at home, at work and in the parish. Particular emphasis was placed on the aspect of suffering which touches each person's life and can be transformed into a positive experience when lived through with Christ. Archbishop Foley celebrated the Eucharist and addressed the Mariapolis,

"So today as you gather here in this Mariapolis, where you sense the good relationships and the joy of your life together, where you feel the hope that past mistakes can be overcome and have a dream which can become

"It is only then that we can build bridges between people, in families, in parishes, and in the world. And it is only when the love of Christ becomes known and lived and accepted totally in our world, that we will have the peace everyone dreams of." About 30 per cent of the participants at the Mariapolis were members of the Anglican Church and an Anglican Eucharist was also celebrated each day.

Compassion returns has successfully counteracted the negative effects of devaluation." Project Compassion has raised more than $11 million in the past five years, out of a total of almost $30 million raised by Australian Catholic Relief in that time.

Archbishop Peter Camley was the principal celebrant one day and in his address he too spoke about the Crucified Chnst as a model for all Christians because He showed His love for us, He revealed the love of God for us, by giving everything of Himself, by becoming poor, defenseless and even dying abandoned on the cross. When a Christian shares in the sufferings of Christ, he too becomes a cause of joy and unity in the world.

flEE Some impressions of people attending the Mariapolis were: "I am amazed at the complete acceptance and love that I haven't experienced in any other group or meeting." (mother of three). "I suppose the base-line message for me is that regardless of one's background, education and abilities (or lack of them!), the one thing each one of us has in equal quantity to offer to others is love." (businessman and father of four). "I can honestly say it has taken me all my 33 years to find out the true meaning of being a Christian and to understand how I can practise it in my daily life." (teacher and mother) -The talks and the experiences have inspired me again not only to love, but to love in face of suffer-

ing." (mother of a severely handicapped child). "I discovered a new attitude to suffering to turn it into a joy and not keep it as a burden, to use rt to grow and not look inward and therefore shrivel up.

Historic Historic Macedon House, the timber bungalow near Stirling Highway at the St Louis campus of John XXIII College, seems certain to be saved. The bungalow was under threat because of the redevelopment of the college sites. Two former St Louis School students, Richard and John Adams have offered a site to relocate the cottage and the developers, Clough Engineering have offered to jinker it free of charge. The bungalow was built last century and used as a boarding house for students. It eventually became the forerunner for St Hilda's boarding school. The National Trust classified the house but redevelopment did not take its retention into account. The National Trust in classifying the house said its

encircling verandahs retained the original of pre1900 architecture.

ADELAIDE: A working party is preparing recommendations on how the Roman Catholic Church can increase its commitment to social issues.

Brian and Carmel Miller enjoyed participating in the Focolare movement's Mariapolis with their two children.

Colin Mulcaster and Gemma Greaves during an interval at the Mariapolis.

The decision to draw up proposals was held at a consultation at North Adelaide yesterday. "I will welcome the proposals and study them carefully," Catholic Archbishop of Adelaide, Archbishop Leonard Faulkner, said. "Christ insisted his followers show love and concern to others. "The Church has taken his words extremely seriously ever since Christ founded it. "That's what this discussion is about — how can we implement Christ's command most effectively today? "Yesterday's consultation was held with my approval and encouragement. "I was able to be there for part of the meeting and I took part in an earlier consultation. "The next step is for firm proposals to be put to me and my advisors. "Probably several different options will be suggested. "I will consider them seriously and discuss them with my Diocesan Pastoral Council and Council of Priests.

The two Adams brothers are the proprietors of Australian City Properties Pty Ltd stepped in to save the building after reading it was under threat. For the Adams brothers it will mean saving a building which was once their old classroom. Macedon House, easily visible from Stirling Highway. But it stands on land Clough has brought from St Louis and on which a retirement village is to be built. Clough doesn't want to be seen as a destroyer of our heritage, and Australian City Properties is in the business of preserving it. ACP did an 1800,000 restoration on Bishop's House in Mounts Bay Road. It owns a lot of property in the central business district, and Mr Richard Adams said the favoured location for

Macedon House was a city site, but he could not name it yet. He said the old cottage would be taken by jinker to its new site, placed on stumps and restored. "It's got lathe and plaster walls so it won't jinker too far," he said.

"We are going to bring it back to its original condition." Mr Adams hoped to move it by early next year. Clough is buying the four John XXIII sites and in return will build the new school at Graylands.

"It is unfortunate that there has been some talk of 'conflict' in news reports. "The word 'politics' has also been used in a way that suggests the Church may take a narrow party political line on some issues. "These words are quite misleading. "I'm impressed by the unity of our diocesan family. 'We want to find the best possible ways of facing social and justice issues and meeting people's needs. "In other words we want to be faithful to Christ's command to love each other "The Church has a rich teaching on social issues, justice, peace. human rights. the sanctity of life and the importance of every human person. "When we talk about a possible commission for justice and peace we are talking about meeting an enormous range of needs — unemployment, family breakdown, the plight of single parent families, the very poor, the lonely, the alienated, fringe dwellers. Aborigines — and many more. "The Church has clear principles on peace and justice. "Of course there will be discussion on how they should be put into practice. "People will have different views. That's only healthy. "But I am quite confident we will be open and frank with each other and talk things over as members of a family should. "We will treat each other with Christian love and with respect." It is not yet known when the working party's proposals will be put to Archbishop Faulkner.

Meeting in January W A Catholics will have the opportunity to participate in a special conference on the Christian Life early next year.

WA University Choral Society presents the Bach When sixteen-year-old Noreen McKinley accepted an invitation from her music teacher to take part in the formation of a choral society at the University of Western Australia, she little dreamed 54 years-on she would still be singing with it. And one of the highlights of her long and still lengthening career will be the Choral Society's performance of the Bach Mass in B Minor which will be held in Winthrop Hall. It is no ordinary Mass, says Noreen (now Mrs McCarter). It is something which has stood as a musical pinnacle for many years, she added. In fact, the Mass had been many times quoted as a yardstick by one of the Society's most notable conductors, Professor Callaway. -He would continually remark, 'You are not quite ready for it yet'," Noreen said. -Great was my delight when last year, the retired conductor, himself a guest at one of our concerts, whispered to me, "I think you are now ready for the Mass in B minor'" The Mass, which stands as a musical milestone for what IS probably Australia's oldest university choral society and certainly one of the most successful, is being held to mark the 300th anniversary of Bach's birth. But for Noreen McCarter there have been many milestones. She is the only life member of the society, (an honour which was conferred on her in 1982) who is still singing and she has missed few performances. Her musical memories are many and varied and one of her first is of being taken to hear the famed Melba sing when she was five years old Born on the goldfields she was educated by the Sisters of Mercy in Kalgoorlie until she moved to Perth for her university education. It was in 1931, during her first year at uni where she was studying for a BA in maths and English she accepted an invitation from her music teacher, Mr A.J. Leckie to attend a meeting called to plan the formation of a choral society. 'There were about 12 of us present at that first meeting and we started singing as soon as we had finished talking," Noreen said. That singing steadily grew in strength and willing choristers happily paid their 2/6 annual subscription. These days the choir is some 150 strong although in the days of Professor Callaway it reached an all-time high of 200 or more. "Mainly because he liked to play it safe and to have plenty of "spares" on the side," Noreen said.

The University of Western Australia Choral Society will mark the 300th anniversary of Bach's birth with two performances of Bach's Mass in B Minor. The performances will be held at Winthrop Hall on Saturday, October 12 and Sunday, October 13. A highlight of the performances will be the inclusion of the Bach descant horn as part of the instrumental accompaniment. it is believed this is the first time the instrument will have been heard in Australia. This baroque horn will b e played by Darryl Poulsen of the WA Conservatorium of Music. Darryl has specially imported the instrument from Leipzig where it was designed by Friedbert Syhre, the great East German maker of musical instruments. It is believed the sound this brilliantly of designed instrument is very close to the ideal sound of the Baroque period, and to the sound which Bach himself would have imagined. Tickets are $9 (full) and $T (concession) and are from the a vailable Octagon, Perth Concert Hall, Gramophone Record and Zenith Music (Claremont). Inquiries to 386 1555 or 381 8368.

Choristers presenting Bach in B

But with "spares" or not, once the baton was raised in 1931 there was no looking back. "During World War II we still continued, despite "blackout" conditions," Noreen said. 'We would travel by tram and bus and take long, dark walks to get to our destination." Noreen married during the war years and while she was prepared to put aside her

teaching career, she was not prepared to put aside her beloved music. The war hadn't stopped her and neither would a husband and children. Her deep affinity with the university and its choral society was one of the reasons why the McCarter's bought a house on Stirling Highway, barely a minute or so from Winthrop Hall It also fitted in with her plan that all of her children would have an accessible university education. The McCarter's still live in the same house and each Wednesday night still sees Noreen heading off to choir, just as she has done for the past halt century. It all became a ritual, she laughed. Every Wednesday night, whether pregnant or feeding, she would down tools and head to rehearsal

"I was lucky really, My husband is tone deaf and is not interested in music. He was quite happy to stay home on Wednesday night to mind the child-en and in fact came to look forward to it because he had time for himself." lt was the years 1953 to 79 that were considered the "golden era" of the choir, Noreen said, when, under the leadership of Professor Frank Callaway, the group went from strength to strength. During this quarter -century, the choir combined with the WA Symphony Orchestra to entertain Perth audiences with many large works hitherto unperformed here. The Choral Concerts Series instigated at this time continued for many years after similar ABC arrangements in the eastern states were abandoned. The choir performed at the opening of the Winthrop Hall in 1932, the opening of the Perth Concert Hall in 1973 and also formed the nucleus of a 700 voiced choir for the Commonwealth Games in 1962.

One of the highlight years was 1981 when the society celebrated its golden jubilee and was presented with a commemorative tablet by the WA government in recognition of the impact the group had made on the musical life of Western Australia. The plague hangs in the foyer of Winthrop Hall and probably represents the only

such honour ever paid to a choral society in this state. But beyond the music a choir is very much people and it is the passing parade of faces which so often comes to mind when Noreen McCarter looks back. "It has been a wonderful experience," she said. 'The glamour of meeting visiting artists, of chatting with the orchestra players about their priceless instruments and the thrill of making such beautiful music with so many people." She remembers the great names like Sir Thomas Beecham, Sir Malcolm Sargent and the Master of the Queen's Music, Sir Arthur Bliss. It is the latter, she says, who suggested that in order to encourage better tone from the altos, they should partake of a wineglass of port before arrival on the concert platform. This would produce those deep rich sounds so pleasant in the lower register. "One of the ladies, who must have been a little zealous, arrived very merry indeed," Noreen said. "So much so she had to be restrained from appearing on stage." Musicians, from the highest to the lowest, can be a highly strung lot, she says. When Sir Thomas Beecham was in Perth in 1940 to conduct a performance of The Messiah, in which the Choral Society was participating, he lived up to his reputation in fine style. True to form, on deciding two rehearsals before the performance the singing lacked volume, he emphatically laid down his baton, strode off the podium and f latly refused to conduct another sound until drapes

were erected on the stage to prevent the sound wafting aloft and away from the audience. His demands were

met And then there was the hostile tenor who once brought practice to a halt as he leapt from his seat and stormed out of the hall, all the while shouting, in no uncertain terms, his indigation at unfair treatment_ He never returned But life in the ranks is never dull, she adds. On the rare occasions, when, after periods of long standing, someone faints, neighbours hide the disturbance by rapidly closing in the ranks. "Once when The River was being performed in Winthrop Hall with full orchestra a "faint" turned out to be a minor heart attack, but even the conductor was kept in ignorance," she said. One of her favourite stories is of the Red Cross Concert in 1942

CICI Cl War -time lighting restrictions were in force and so the concert was held in the afternoon. "Our former governor, Sir James Mitchell and Lady Mitchell were seated in comfortable chairs in front of the audience," she said. 'The warm winter sun soon Iulled Sir James and made him drowsy. 'The concert progressed until we sang Song of the Plough when Sir James began to take an interest. Just before the interval Sir James made a speech, but instead of the rousing patriotic oration everyone expected, he praised our singing of the Song of the Plough and went on to give us a lecture on farming." But the choir is, if nothing, professional, she adds. Take the time when one man was singing so enthusiastically his false teeth fell out and landed on the shoulder of the person in front. They were calmly handed back and no-one missed a beat.

Colourful wartime career finished behind teller's counter

CREATIVE LITURGY WORKSHOP

Leading Aircraftman Brian Jennings, a young RAAF telegraphist on night duty at Darwin in the final year of the war, was surprised to receive the radio call. It was certainly not on his schedule. It came from the American pilot of a bomber somewhere in the air who simply wanted to know where the heck he was, — not really a rarity with United States crews, some of which were not then noted for their navigational prowess. But somehow this call seemed to be different, and different it surely was. Brian initiated a position fix through the radio direction-finding system (RDF) and the aircraft duly made a safe landing at Darwin. It turned out the pilot was an American airman based in the Philippines who suddenly decided to fly south because he was sick of the war.

The bank told Brian it would accept him only if he had f arm experience plus a diploma from the Muresk Agricultural College, so he set out on the four-year path towards these qualifications. Working for the R and I Bank, incidentally, seems to be a Jennings family tradition. Brian's brother Des finished his working days as the bank's marketing manager and two of Des's sons, Alan a nd Paul, are currently branch managers. After his RAAF discharge Brian worked for 12 months on the Nungarin farm of Fred Watson. "Fred was an excellent and well organised farmer," he recalls. 'There was never the mad seasonal rush to get crops in or off that characterises so many farms. "ft was a good life and I t horoughly enjoyed it -because it was in my blood. I suppose." However, he has one embarrassing recollection of those 12 months as a tyro cocky.

It was subsequently bought and young Jennings was given the honour of driving the first tank out of the depot. Now tanks are pesky things to manoeuvre if you haven't handled them before, as

In addition to its handling difficulties, its Rolls Royce radial engine gulped petrol in astronomical quantities. Brian went to the Muresk Agricultural College under the Commonwealth Rehabilitation and Training Scheme (CATS) for ex-servicemen. The rehab students, who were in a minority and older than their colleagues, initially found life there rather irksome. It was tough going back to studies — they were not allowed cars and the lights went out on the dot of 10pm. This last restriction led to clandestine study practices by the rehab fellows who literally burnt the midnight oil (in hurricane lamps) as they swotted subjects such as mathematics and others of which they had no experience like veterinary science, surveying, elementary agronomy, soil science, biology and botany. However, Brian finished the three-year course with good passes and happened to

meet at a college dance the girl who was later to be his bride, Joy Wuillemin, daughter of the dairying instructor. They were married at St Columba's in South Perth in January, 1949, during one of those SEC strikes in which the power was on for an hour then off for an hour, a contretemps that dislocated the wedding reception to some degree. Brian joined the R and I Bank's valuation department in 1950 and spent the first two years as a cadet valuer in the metropolitan area. Then the department was scaled down and he was two years at the Kojonup branch as ledger-keeper. A posting to Merredin brought him back into the valuation field, mainly on farming properties to secure them against bank loans. In those 1950s days wool

Brian George Jennings, a licensed land valuer, is senior adviser and head of the valuation and farm advisory department of the R and I Bank. Born at Kellerberrin on September 11, 1926, he was educated at convent schools at Merredin and South Perth and at CBC Terrace and Aquinas College. He spent 19 months in t he wartime RAAF, worked on a Nungarin f arm and completed a three-year course at the Muresk Agricultural College. He joined the R and I Bank as a cadet valuer, in 1950, served in various country districts and in 1960 was seconded to the University of WA for 12 months of special training in agricultural economics and farm management. In 1972 he chaired the committee inquiring into drought effects in the North-Eastern Goldfields p astoral regions (it r ained after the writing of the report, so therefore it was not needed); he was chairman of the 1977 inquiry into the WA pastoral industry, the f indings of which are known as the Jennings R eport; in 1983 he headed the inquiry into the Kimberley pastoral industry; earlier, in 1975, he had assessed the damage done to Pilbara pastures by Cyclone Joan. He is a former state councillor, branch chairman and economics officer of the Knights of the Southern Cross, was on the Narrogin parish council and then chairman of the parish council of St Benedict's in Applecross, and with wife Joy ( formerly Wuillemin) spent a total of 28 years in the P and F.

US Bishops' pastoral letter

ROME. Pope John Paul II has invited all Catholics to pray for the church in Lithuania. He reminded pilgrims assembled at his summer residence at Castelgandolfo on August 25 of the Mass exactly a year earlier in celebration of the 500th anniversary of the death of the patron saint of Lithuania, St Casimir. This year, he said, the Church in Lithuania had begun a three-year period of preparation for the 600th anniversary of the conversion of the Lithuanian nation to Christianity, popularly known as the "baptism of Lithuania". This had brought Lithuania into "the great family of Christian peoples of Europe", and the country had remained faithful, he said, to the Christian tradition "in spite of the ups and downs of ancient and recent history". 0 0 0

WARSAW The Catholic Church in EPoland will not let itself be restricted to the purely religious field, according to Andrzej Micewski, one of the advisers of the Primate of Poland, Cardinal Jozef Glemp. The Church must also make its voice heard on social and national issues, but it should do so, he added, without taking sides with any political grouping. Micewski made his stand against "official publicists" who wanted to push the Church into the area of prayer alone in an article for the Catholic weekly Tygodnik Powszechny. He rejected their view as "absurd", and stated that the Church's duty was to criticise all that contradicted the gospels. The Church could not abandon its pledge and right to comment on all subjects "that touched on the development of the human personality".

Women's role in the Church

NEW YORK (NC) — The proposed US bishops' pastoral letter on women and the Church should focus on "the evil of sexism" and recognise the talents of women, participants suggested at hearings in the Columbus Diocese. Betty Rutledge, president of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women and chairwoman of the committee that wrote the report on the 15 hearings, said the fivemember committee sifted through "very different and sometimes conflicting views." About 450 people, almost all women, participated in the hearings on "The Role of Women in Church and Society." Nationally. suggestions have been made that the pastoral not be written at all or that the focus be changed. The introduction to the report stressed the use of the "diversity of gifts" of women and men and said that women in the diocese generally are discouraged that authority in the church is male-dominated. The report found that many hearing participants think the pastoral should focus on "the evil of sexism".

Apartheid attacked WASHINGTON (NC) -- The Administrative Board of the US Catholic Conference in a statement has urged approval of the AntiApartheid Act of 1985 pending in Congress. The board said President Reagan's antiapartheid executive order was welcome, but the congressional proposal "offers a stronger and broader approach which we still believe is necessary" We speak as bishops and pastors of a Church whose religious and moral teaching is daily contradicted by apartheid, and whose brother bishops are actively opposing apartheid," the board said. South Africa's bishops, the USCC statement recalled have termed apartheid something intrinsically evil."

"We need to understand the inherent differences of men and women, stressing the equality of both men and women before God," the report said.

EEC) If the pastoral is written, some suggested that women — not solely a group of bishops — should play a larger part in the writing. Also discussed was the need for improved appreciation of women by the Clergy. "It is the experience of most women that few clergy treat women as equals, and that the hierarchy are unappreciative by curtailing the participation of women in liturgical functions and in the administration of the Church."

Tradition of pilgrims W ASHINGTON (NC) — The tradition of pilgrimage is very much alive in the United States, a religion professor told shrine directors in Washington at their first national meeting. "The stereotype that American Catholics are not pilgrimage-oriented is simply untrue," said James Preston, professor of anthropology and religion at State University of New

York at Oneonta. "Pilgrimage is very much alive in this great country." But the tradition should be expanded, he believes, and the time has come for the American pilgrimage "to make its mark in the world," Preston told the 90 directors of shrines and places of pilgrimage who met at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

"Real Christian community — a parish which is allit could be — is like a loving family. It provides both roots and wings," the authors write. "Roots" because members' attentiveness and active ministry to others creates a real sense of belonging. "Wings" because a community's care for troubled people provides security and the space needed to overcome problems. (St Anthony Messenger Press, 1615 Republic St., Cincinnati, Ohio 45210. $4.50.) 8

yam,

Parishes must offer 'gardens' of calm By Father Herbert ( Weber f Outside the main entrance to our parish church is a courtyard. Within that area, enclosed by a meeting hall and parish offices, the visitor finds a beautifully landscaped waterfall, blossoming trees, seasonal flowers, several benches and a swing. It is a delightful place for calming the inner person before liturgy, and for sharing conversation with others after the celebration. Using a garden at the entrance to a church is not a new idea. Zen gardens are strategically placed to allow a spiritual quieting before entering meditation. In the same way, monasteries and convents have often had hidden courtyards or cloistered corners to diminish anxieties and encourage harmonious thoughts and feelings. Today's churches need more gardens and courtyards to provide a spirit of comfort. We need them because every day many individuals and families carry with them the heavy weight of anxieties, fears and doubts. The gardens that our parishes must provide, however, are not merely those made up of flowering trees and waterfalls. Instead they are landscaped with caring persons who can help relieve the anxieties of their neighbours. Last year a couple I know received word that the cancer the wife had been fighting had travelled to her brain. The new tumor was inoperable and the woman's health would quickly fail. To say that the couple and their children experienced

The Record, October 3 — 9, 1985

anxiety at this time would be an understatement. In fact, very easily their whole life as a family could have spun out of control. What happened for this couple, however, was the profound realisation that they were not alone. Friends, many from a parish study group the couple had participated in years earlier, volunteered to spend time with the woman, assisting her in the couple's home. In many little and sometimes big ways, their various friends provided comfort and support during the next four months until the woman's death. Anxieties are not restricted to life-and-death situations. Everyone faces anxiety at times.

The frequent dilemmas that parents encounter in the rearing of their children cause doubts and worries. The fears the elderly have that they will become a burden to their children sometimes can become crippling. Then there is the stress created by on-the-job pressures. It would be a mistake to believe that such anxieties should not enter the lives of adult Christians. Further, it would be foolish to try to ignore these emotional stresses when they come. Instead of being avoided or ignored, anxieties have to be faced and handled. But living in a community of faith means this task need not be done without help. I find it interesting that the

prayer that the celebrant says at Mass after the Lord's Prayer does not ask that anxieties be eliminated. Instead it says, "In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety." That protection is the strength gained from knowing that God and others care about us during times of fear, helplessness and turmoil. The handling of anxieties seems to be greatly facilitated by the knowledge that there is support from others. Should parishes provide this support by organising some sort of ministry teams for those suffering anxiety? That seems to work for those in special pain, like the widowed and the divorced who attend to each other's

needs in support groups. However, in order to minister to those facing anxieties it might be better to create opportunities for men and women to come together at many levels. Such was the case when those originally organised as a study group became a true community of care around the couple suffering the agony of cancer. In other words, churches would find ways of bringing people together in groups where trust is developed When these small groups encourage the open expression of concerns and fears, there will be plenty of gardens and courtyards for the assistance that we all need in coping with anxieties.

The luck of the draw

By Katharine Bird Poet and novelist May Sarton tells of contracting to dig a new well at her rural home in a book called "Plant Dreaming Deep." It was the luck of the draw, she says, whether the diggers would drill 27 metres or 130 metres before bitting water. She would be charged by the metre. Just as the diggers began drilling, Ms Sarton received two letters with disastrous news. Her agent wrote to say be didn't think her new book was worth sending to the publisher. The second letter said the college where she taught was not renewing her contract. Ms Sarton, despite the fact that spiritual values usually were a steadying influence in her life, writes of the panic she felt as the diggers drilled

At the same time, anxiety can be useful — at least if approached in the proper spirit. For Christians. faith suggests there willbe resources andcommunity members to proside support for moving through anxiety. Christians believe they needn't be defeated by anxiety because somehow they are in partnership with God.

Father Herbert Weber writes about a family's struggle with a final illness. This family, he explains, was supported in a variety of ways by fellow parishioners. Father Weber is pastor of St. Thomas More Parish in Bowling Green, Ohio. Katharine Bird suggests that anxiety, which can immobilise sufferers, can have some positive results as well. She tells of a couple, devastated by the discovery that a son is severely hearingimpaired. But the couple discovers resources within themselves and others that enable them to see that this difficult family situation also holds some unique opportunities.

It's very important to talk over situations that cause us anxiety, he tells her. And, in approaching anxiety, it is important not to dissociate the body from the spirit, he adds. Exercise is among his recommended means of managing anxiety. Father John Castelot looks to the story of Esther for an example of a biblical character who had to cope with anxiety under special circumstances. Father Castelot teaches at St. John's Seminary in Plymouth. Mich.

The king had issued an edict calling for the extermination of all the Jews in Persia. Esther's uncle, Mordecai, had begged her to intervene on the Jews' behalf More easily said than done! True, Esther was queen and the best loved of all the women in the royal harem. But the laws of the empire were

Esther's very nationality made the risk even greater for, unknown to anyone, she was a Jewess, a member of the race marked for annihilation, As the story turns out, the risk paid off and Esther saved her people. But the results could have been quite different and it was this very real

But anyone who has had to face a superior, bidden or unbidden, has felt similar emotions. It may not have been a case of life or death; but some risk, even some serious risk, was involved. • There seems to be no way to escape stressful situations. • And even though peopie of faith are sure of their Father's loving care, an actual situation has a way of triggering anxiety. The disciples had every reason to rely on Jesus' power; yet when a storm

had stilled the storm, Jesus reproached them: "Why are you so terrified? Why are you lacking in faith?" (Mark 4:40) But Jesus too experienced moments of anxiety. "I have a baptism to receive. What anguish I feel 'til it is over!" (Luke 12:50). While Jesus urged his disciples to stop worrying about matters like food and clothing and to let tomorrow take care of itself (Matthew 6:31, 34), he also taught them to pray for their daily

What happens to people when they get caught in aruciety's grip? And why is this an important topic for Christians to think about? For one thing, anxiety can obstruct or distort our view of the world. It can consume our attention and our energies, blinding us to the goodness and beauty of other people, nature, God, even ourselves. It can also cause us to become self-absorbed, getting so wrapped up in a problem that we are unable to reach out to others or allow others to touch us. Sometimes, anxiety takes away our sense of direction, leaving us unsure what to do or where to turn in a particular situation. While we cannot escape anxiety entirely, there are some ways we can lessen its negative — potentially paralysing — effects on our lives. Father William T. Newland.

an Episcopal priest and a pastoral counsellor at the Pastoral Counselling and Construction Centre of Greater Washington, said it is very important to talk over .a situation — and how one feels about the situation — with a spouse or a trusted friend. Sometimes, it isn't easy for people to open up, to admit their uncertainties or fears, their sense of being out of control. But, he said, "when people stuff their feelings inside themselves," both the body and the mind can begin to "play strange tricks on us", converting feelings into physical symptoms such as headaches, ulcers, stomach problems. Just by having to verbalise what is troubling us, we might bring a situation into greater clarity for ourselves. But another person often can give new perspective to a situation, helping us to find a new way of looking at things or suggesting possible solutions. And, in the act of listening, another person reminds us that we are not in the world alone, that we have compan-

ions who can help us through the difficult times. In reducing anxiety, Father Newland does not believe a

Anxiety can distort or obstruct our view By Cindy Liebhart To be human is to experience anxiety. For most people, hardly a day goes by in which anxiety — in one form or another — doesn't occur. Stress, tension, worry, nervousness or fear — all are fueled at some basic level. Crises such as the death of a family member or the loss of a job provoke anxiety. But even something as mundane as oversleeping and arriving late for work can trigger its onslaught. Anxiety surfaces in situations we can control ourselves, but also in situations in the hands of others. We experience anxiety over relationships, money,

Many people experience anxiety over their jobs and their responsibility to financially support not only themselves, but others. What some people might find surprising is that any — not to say many — of these people would welcome the opportunity to discuss this kind of anxiety in a parish-related setting. Consider, then, the following story told during an adult ministries consultation by Dr Jean Haldane, dean emeritus of the Episcopal Lay Academy in the Episcopal Diocese of California. Out of a concern for lay people's Monday-toSaturday lives, the Lay Academy decided to conduct a symposium on employment. 'The aim was to break the uncanny silence in congregations about the anxiety of lay people in the area of their employment," she explained. There were those, the speaker said, who though

person can separate body, mind and spirit. He said both exercise and recreation are good antidotes to anxiety. Exercise lets tension out of the body and helps general health and well-being. Hobbies and other recreational pursuits — painting, carpentry, playing the piano — can draw people outside themselves, providing creative outlets where they can channel some of their energies. Equally important is getting an adequate amount of rest, which refreshes both body and spirit, and taking time out for personal reflection periodically. Father Newland also thinks support groups are very important for people. Groups that many churches sponsor — such as groups for divorced and separated people, for the widowed, for young parents, for single adults — provide people with an environment in which they can share their hopes and fears, their frustrations as well as their joys.

this was not a problem in their church community since people were quiet about it. The fact was otherwise. For, once the topic of employment was placed on the church's agenda, "it was as if the floodgates were opened and KO laity shared their anguish, their courage and their ingenuity in dealing with their situation." Ms Haldane said that among the outcomes of that program "was the establishment of employment support groups in several churches." Among other outcomes was the training of church volunteers to work with unemployed persons in finding jobs. "All of us need a sense of belonging and security to help us face the unknown, both within and without. Trusting relationships usually allow this," Dolores Leckey wrote in her book 'The Ordinary Way" (Crossroad). Mrs Leckey is executive director of the

U.S. bishops' Laity Secretariat. But where are these trusting relationships to be found? In what stuations will people feel sufficiently "at home" to speak not only about ideas and concepts, but about what they feel, what they fear or what they hope? For some this sense of trust is found at home with members of a family. For some it is found with friends. For some it is found in the company of a spiritual director or in the small groups formed by parishes for discussion and prayer, where many people sense that they can speak about their lives without the fear of being ridiculed. What makes this sense of trust grow in a specific situation? Do you see ways that you can foster a sense of trust and of belonging in your own church community?

A man with a cause and an ambition to match, he has had a string of high government appointments ( mostly Canberra based), which proves his expertise and competence. It's not everyday you f ind someone dedicated to a cause, prepared to fight for it and forsaking the goal of money when necessary. He's impassioned — but not fanatical.

He had a lot to say and it stirred within me a sense of awareness of another people whose land we took, whose lifestyle we changed and whose values we replaced. Thought provoking it made me wonder if we took without concern and was it only their land or also their dignity and a sense of values and tribal laws that a white man's could never replace. The white man has tried in many areas to re-establish, replace, rehabilitate the lost — the fringe dwellers — but has he done enough? Mr Winder does not believe he has. An articulate man and a great espouser of their cause, he gave the Aboriginal viewpoint. "You are always taught in society — even in the Church — that everything white is beautiful,- said Mr Winder.

Black — symbolic of mourning, the devil, disaster (Black Friday) and white — symbolic of purity, for joyous religious occasions and everything clean and sparkling, further delineates their separateness. White is good — black is bad. "Aboriginal housing?" he asked, 'The white man's idea of housing requirements are vastly different to the Aboriginal's whose extended family system whereby all relatives were in fact part of the family, were unsuitable for the multirelational aboriginal requirement. 'The duplicity and variety of housing establishments at state and federal level means the Aboriginal has to shop from one to the other in the hope of gaining a house. 'This is a waste of Aboriginal allocated money which is dispersed in salaries, travelling allowances, feasability studies etc., and goes mainly to white bureaucrats. 'The diversity of bodies to service the one housing need, is wasteful and unnecessary. Only one housing body should operate"

man of ambition, cause to match by COLLEEN HOWARD MO" Mr Winder said there was a lack of co-ordination in three major areas, housing, employment and education. That co-ordination needed to be simultaneous. 'The federal government," he said, "provides funds for Aboriginal children but nobody seems to care whether those same children live in rusty cars Of on the rubbish dumps of Australia. "Our total Australian population is 160,000: I believe it is quite within the scope of the Australian government to service our needs fully," said Mr Winder.

OD El There have been however whites who really did care. For instance Dr H.C. "Nuggett" Coombes who, when giving his address to the Royal Australian College of Physicians in Adelaide in 1965, summarised the position of Aboriginals stating: "If an aboriginal baby is born today it has a much better than average chance of being dead within two years. "if it does survive it has a

much better than average chance of suffering from substandard nutrition to a degree likely to permanently handicap it in its physical and mental potential and its resistance to disease — particularly from ear, nose, throat, respiratory infections, gastroenteritis, trachoma and other eye infections. "if it reaches teenage it is likely to be lacking in sound hygienic habits, unemployed, without basic training, maladjusted and hostile to society "If it reaches adulthood, it is likely to be lethargic, irresponsible and above all poverty stricken, unable to break out of the iron cycle of poverty, ignorance, malnutrition, illhealth, social isolation and antagonism. "if it lives in the north, it has a good chance of being maimed by leprosy. And its search for love and companionship, is likely to end in the misery of venereal diseases. "If it happens to be a girl, it is likely to conceive a baby at an age when a white contemporary is screaming innocent adulation at some pop

star. And she will continue to bear babies every 12 to 18 months until she reaches double figures and dies of abortion "Unless the vicious cycle of paternalism, pauperism and dependency is broken within the decade of the seventies, the problem will become much more difficult if not impossible to solve." But what of today? Have things improved since Coombes' report in 1965? "No. The outlook has not changed,- Mr Winder said. "Our conditions have not improved.-

Choristers sing From page 4

These days the choir has members running in age from 17 year-old undergraduates to 80-year-old enthusiasts — and they are still not missing a beat. Strictly speaking, Noreen McCarter, despite her 54 years of involvement, at 73, is still one of the "younger" ones. It is her love of music that has helped to keep her young, she says, although she believes her claim to fame is more as a "listener", than a chorister. She has travelled all over the world listening to music and firmly believes the "live" show is the real thing and anything else a poor imitation.

oppressive, depressive and anti-human." Mr Winder replied. "ft denied Aborigines basic human rights." So he decided to get his credentials, his certificate of citizenship. Ken Winder decided to use his new document of white acceptance, as a means of fighting for his people, within the white man's sanction. It worked. He knows the "ins and outs" of the Aboriginal departments he said, and uses his expertise to fight for the Aborigines. Is there bitterness between

the Aboriginal and the white? In some instances, he says. But Ken Winder — a man of white and aboriginal blood — has friends on both sides. He fits easily into the image of a sophisticated white executive but yet he is a man for his people.

E[10 And he will continue to fight for a just deal in what he regards as a "white paternalistic society". Mr Winder believes Aborigines should be in charge of their own destiny and it

should not be left to the "white bureaucrats" who do not understand their needs. Sure all Aborigines are not invariably maligned, stainless and above reproach. But then neither are we whites. Whatever one's viewpoint of the rights and wrongs of white or black, one thing is evident This man believes and has dedicated his life to fight — with his white man's education — to enhance the living standards and social and economic status of his dark skinned race.

"The federal government," he said, "provides funds for Aboriginal children but nobody seems to care whether those same children live in rusty cars or on the rubbish dumps of Australia.

In 1965 she was in Adelaide to hear Dame Joan Sutherland's Operatic Company's first performance in Australia; in 1967 she was in Edinburgh for the Festival; in 1975 it was China where she listened to school children playing on their own particular kind of string and wind instruments and even now, in 1985, has recently returned from the Bergen International Festival in Norway, She has also been active on the University Music and University Choral Societies committees as a choral steward and has been involved with such events as the 1 50th celebration eisteddfod and two Indian Ocean Arts Festivals. An accomplished tennis player in her youth, she now keeps fit by body-surfing at Cottesloe. Her daily swim and run along the beach, come rain or shine, has been her constitutional for the past 10 years. "Funnily enough I think swimming is good for the voice . . mine has certainly improved since I started," she smiled. When she began singing she was a soprano, now she is an alto. The important thing, says Noreen, is that she is still singing.

"But it didn't "By then I was not only traumatised about his behaviour but I was guilt-ridden that it was my faith which had caused his drinking. "Al-Anon taught me no-one is responsible for making an alcoholic, although most wives are told it is their fault and most believe it. 'When I first told him about Al-Anon he was shocked and then angry, but by then 1 had come to realise once I knew why he did and said that he did. then I didn't get upset. "I learned to live by the AlAnon rules. It got rid of the sleepless nights. Sometimes

I wouldn't get to sleep until 3 am. 'We separated six years ago but he still doesn't believe he is an alcoholic. "He still comes around and sees the children, he has always been very loving with them. "He still wanders around late at night sometimes too. . he is so drunk he doesn't know what he is doing but I think the car points him in this direction. "He shouldn't drive in that state but the responsibility is his. He lost his licence once and had a breathalyser reading of .253.

"In the five years before he left home for three or four nights a week he would be out . . . he had a lot of drinking friends. "Alcoholics seem to drift toward people who are like themselves, I guess we all do.

DOE "But even though he was hardly ever home he still brought money and still took an interest in the kids. "He used to say he was staying with a friend. "I didn't think he was unfaithful at the time,

although I found out later from his sister he had a girlfriend. "He had told his mother I knew all about it and didn't mind. -You find alcoholics have a completely different way of thinking. They have their own truth and there is so much they don't remember. "Al-Anon helped me to get my own life organised and to make it easier for the kids. My husband said because I didn't get mad anymore I didn't care. "Once he did come back for help and he didn't drink for six weeks, but it didn't last.

Choral Society organist, Gordon Appleton "For the next 12 months, he was half living here and half not and eventually he lost his lob, "Ii was then I said a decision had to be made about whether he was living with us or not as I had to organise something with welfare. "By that time I had been going to Al-Anon for about eight years. I guess it gave me the strength to make decisions.

000 "He still turns up. You never quite lose an alcoholic. "As far as the kids are concerned I am lucky in that my husband has never given the kids a hard time. "In the early days, my way of coping was to be ultraclean. I did all the painting, all the gardening, brought up the kids. he wanted it all to be perfect and that's how I coped. "Al-Anon helped me to sort out my priorities. I am glad that I have been able to give the kids some protection from it. "Because I found Al-Anon so early, life has been fairly calm for us all.

'They don't remember his drinking. They just remember me being cranky in the morning because I had had a broken night's sleep. "Certainly it affected them but they haven't had much of a backlash. Their father wasn't around much but when he was he was always loving. "He has always kept in touch with them and still does. "Really, I have been the villain in the piece. Getting my act together with Al-Anon has meant I can give my children one well parent instead of two sick ones. "I know from my experience with Alateen having one stable parent is very important. "Kids tend to feel no-one else has similar problems. 'They try to hide how they feel because they think the rest of the world won't understand. -They keep it under wraps. "If they do talk about it, all they get is sympathy which they don't need . . . Alateen gives them something constructive. "My kids haven't been involved in Alateen but I

guess the things I have learned from Al-Anon have rubbed off "People say, why do you stay so long? But the reality was I was financially dependent upon my husband for many years. 'We don't always have the choice of leaving. Al-Anon makes it possible to stay and still retain a quality of life. 'When I joined Al-Anon I was 29 and there wasn't a woman under 40. Now they are coming in in their 20s with toddlers in tow.

EIED 'The sooner you start the better. People usually only go to Al-Anon when they get desperate enough . we'd like them to go as soon as they feel they have a problem 'We work on the same basis with Alateen. 'We take kids from the age of eight. If you are old enough to know there is a drinking problem. you are old enough to come. -The same applies to adults. If you see a problem the time to do something about It is now. Don't wart until you get desperate."

WHAT'S ON STUDENTS ON PASTORAL REPLACEMENT Five students from the archdiocese of Perth have returned home from St Francis Xavier Seminary, Adelaide to continue their training in parishes within the archdiocese as part of their pastoral studies. In the Rockingham parish is Anthony Mabanta; at Mirrabooka is Brendan McCloat; Highgate, Peter Porteous, Carlisle, Brenton Taylor; and at Yokine is Murray Thomas. A sixth WA student, Phil Forrest is serving in Albany in the Bunbury diocese. The responsibility for placement of the students rests with Father Dan Foley who is co-ordinator of the pastoral placement program in WA for the seminary in Adelaide. Pastoral placement is an integral part of seminary training for our future priests. This involves the student in many practical aspects of parish life. Their training is carried under the direction of the local parish priest where the student is serving, Such areas of training include the student in delivering homilies at week-day and Sunday masses, home visitation within the parish and involvement with the many group activities such as the YCW, Antioch, Legion of Mary, St Vincent de Paul Society and so on. As well, they may be expected to partake in the respective c,atechurnenate programs which may be operating in each parish. Other aspects of the pastoral training will be for the student, as acolyte, to lead prayer groups and distribute the Eucharist to the sick and elderly. They may also be required to give religious instruction in schools and to address young people regarding their vocations.

Narrogin was the following step on the peripatetic career journey, but en route there from Lake Grace he was diverted to fire-ravaged Dwellingup to help in assessing damage to rural properties. "On approaching the town," he says, "I saw a burnt-out utility piled with charred household possessions at the side of the road. "The house 300 yards away from which the family had fled was untouched by the flames -That was typical of the disaster at Dwellingup. -There would be a street of dwellings in which only one house had been gutted. In another street, every house but one would have been burnt to the ground. His time at Narrogin was in the 1960s, boom days for WA agriculture with new technology, good seasons and prices and a million acres of land a year being opened up. It was there, too, he joined the Knights of the Southern Cross. Harking back to his Merredin and Lake Grace service, he camped many a night in the bush on his various trips — on a stretcher under the stars or sleeping in the back of the car if it was raining At 1 o'clock on a dark night north of Wialki, a car pulled up beside his little camp and its three occupants wanted to know how to get to Merredin. He pointed the Southern Cross out to them, told them to keep it in their winciscreen and they would get to the town. He never did find out whether they made it Occasionally on these trips he would forget to take some of his unusual equipment. Then it was a case of having to cook and do the washing up in a hubcap off the car. In all the country towns to which they were posted, Brian and Joy were active in many ways in helping the Church

The students in Perth now are all in their third year of seminary training, and this is their first practical pastoral experience. They will return to Adelaide to resume their studies and in about two or three years continue their pastoral training back home in Perth. It may be hopefully expected that some of these students will be ordained deacons by this time. Parishioners within each respective where there are students are encouraged to support and assist the student in this most important part of their seminary training. It would be well to remember, that as students, it is indeed the parishioners who are educating these young men to become our future priests. Their formation and development will depend largely on the response of the parishioner, and that quality will be reflected upon the return of the students when they are ordained priests for this archdiocese. Essentially, the purpose of a student entering a seminary is not necessarily to become a priest, but to find his vocational calling; that is whether indeed God is calling him to service his people or not. It is this priestly formation training where the student, seeking God's will for him, finds his station in life. Accordingly, what may be considered a "failure" to achieve priesthood through seminary training, is in fact really a person finding out that God was not calling him to this particular vocation. So there are no failures; rather it is a person who felt committed in one way actually discovering a new and rewarding vocation elsewhere, be it in marriage and family life or what ever other way he finds God's direction for him.

Tackling mountains Feel like tackling a mountain? You may think twice when that mountain is the unemployment situation. Yes, it is still with us, and it will be with us for decades to come. What is the cause of it? Some say technology, others say women in the workforce, while others blame the lack of adequate training and education. Everyone has the answers but the problem stays and the people who are unemployed r emain confused, bewildered, depressed and jobless. WURC (the YCW employment team) is responding by developing a program to be presented to church groups (parish councils, youth groups, schools).

The 230 parishes reprc, ented at the Antioch Sydney convention highlights a remarkable growth rate second to none. From a small beginning of one family (the Pirola's) in a Sydney suburban lounge room the movement has spread at the rate of one new community each week for four years. That's quite a rate! The movement has not been without its critics who point to the supposed shallow spirituality and over emotionalism of its participants.

They have a selection of videos, speakers, and games that interested groups can choose from. By contacting Frances Spence at the YCW Office (328 9667), you could have the WURC team visit your group. They guarantee you an interesting, worthwhile exercise examining unemployment. The program is devised to promote awareness, encourage discussion, and to develop strategies to change that mountain of a problem into a 'workable' molehill. — Kevin Yuen

Yet the convention was far from just emotional. Thirty young people ( among them Stuart Teasdale of Kalamunda ) gave half hour talks on five different topics in three centres concurrently. During the discussion times, the adults gathered for inputs on a variety of topic associated with assisting the growth of the movement. Moving 1000 young people from one centre into a 12 floor building and into 100 discussion groups could be a nightmare for some.

Da=1 A t the convention the entire operation happened in less than 20 minutes as former Antioch members acting as marshalls ( scx)rting colourful T-shirts), moved the crowd along to their destination. Father Chuck Gallagher presented the keynote address; he emphasised young people in Antioch were not just "anybody" but "Christ's Body" Archbishop Faulkner was joined by 80 concelebrants at the closing Mass and the numbers swelled to 5200 as the finale was open house to Sydney communities. Archbishop Faulkner cut short his holidays to be at the convention. At the Mass he used the Mitre and Crozier used by Paul VI on his Australian visit. The Antioch closing Mass was the biggest ever celebrated by Archbishop Faulkner.

Dear Captain Bob, How are you? I am fine. I have got some jokes for you. What's yellow, swims in the ocean and swallows ships? Moby banana. Why is an old car like a baby? Because it doesn't go anywhere without a rattle. Yesterday the Cubs went on a bikeathon to Pigersgill Salt Lake. It is 16 krns out of town. A truck followed us. I gave up at 10 Ions out of town. When I gave up the truck picked me up. After that we had a picnic. It started pouring so we had to go on the hack of the truck to eat our lunch. After that we went home. Anthony DiFulvio, Corrigin.

° hildren's Story Hour

Karol grew up in a small town in Poland. His mother died when he was 9 years old. His older brother also died while Karol was young. His father raised him. He made sure that young Karol went to Mass and to school every day. Karol loved sports, especially soccer. He also liked to ski and take long hikes. He did well in school and liked to study. He had many friends. During high school Karol had to work to help support the family. Karol acted in all the school plays. He also liked to dance and sing. He liked to write too, especially poetry. A t the end of high school he decided to study drama in order to

become an actor. Then war came to Poland. His country was occupied by foreign soldiers. Karol had to stop studying and work in a quarry cutting stone. He also worked in a chemical plant. There was no longer freedom in his country. Fear was everywhere. Karol and his friends joined secret groups. They met often to pray and to plan ways to improve working conditions. They also planned ways to resist the army that occupied Poland. It was very dangerous. If they were caught meeting secretly, they would be arrested and maybe killed. During this time, Karol decided to become a priest. Because the occu-

pation forces wouldn't permit anyone to study for the priesthood. Karol began studying in secret. After the war he was ordained a priest. His bishop sent him to Rome to study. Here he met people from all over the world. He learned as many languages as he could so he could talk with people from many places.

CI CI Father Wojtyla worked in a parish in Krakow, the old capital of Poland. Father Wojtyla found many people who were sick, but there were not enough hospitals. He saw people without enough to eat and with no decent places to live. So he did

all he could to help suf fering people. He preached about the need for better working condi tions and for justice. He became a teacher of young men studying to become priests. He wrote books and articles. The pope made Father Wojtyla a bishop. The new bishop stood up for the rights of all people, for freedom and justice. The pope named him archbishop of Krakow. Then the pope named him a cardinal. Seven years ago in 1978 he was elected pope. We know him now as Pope John Paul II. He travels all over the world teaching Jesus' message of love, peace and justice, even at the risk of his own life. He is a brave and caring man.

\ 'Normal disabled' lanPendlebury lohilliati

At My Own Pace, by Ian Pendlebury and John Hay, published by William Collins, $9.95. Reviewed by R oslyn Ross. Ian Pendlebury has cerebral palsy, but after a lifetime of being a normal-minded man inside a disabled body. the question of "Why Me" has been translated into the words to write this book Ian Pendlebury tells his story like it is. Yes, he is handicapped. No, he is not mentally retarded. Yes, he is bitter. No, he is not going to let the rudeness and hurts harm him. At the age of 40 Ian has finally been able to acknowledge his disability almost completely and in doing so has grown regardless of it. It is a story like this which gives the rest of us some brief glimmer of insight into a world which we can give thanks we may never have to know. At My Own Pace is the story of that world and what it was like. Written in association with his great friend John Hay, this story has become a frank and matter-of-fact account of his life, from parents, to jobs, to relationships with women. Ian is no saint and he is quick to tell you so. Life being disabled is difficult but he comes through without self-pity as a warm and interesting human being. and with a great capacity for laughing at life and himself.

The Vatican 'scandals'. Rich Church, Poor Church, by Malachi Martin, published by G.P. Putnam's Sons (New York, 1984), $16.95. Reviewed by James C. O'Neill. Rich man . . poor man . . beggarman . thief. That's the way the nursery rhyme goes. Malachi Martin, in this treatise on the Vatican and its finances, puts a question mark after the word thief. The book opens by recalling the "mind-boggling string of scandals" to which the Vatican has been linked

over the past 15 years. Names like Sindona and Calvi, their manipulations and swindles involving Vatican funds, have seriously disturbed the minds and very likely the faith of many. This book is not an expose, not an uncovering of even more alleged wrongdoing in Vatican corridors. Martin, a former Jesuit who taught at the Biblical Institute in Rome 20 years ago, is concerned with explaining why and how the church, that is, the Vatican. got itself in the present situation.

A good part of the book is devoted to an overview of church history from a political and financial view. But more central to its argument is Martin's contention that the Vatican is in the soup today because of the rise of what he calls the managerial system after World War II. The participants are pragmatic and non-political and whenever this system takes over, says Martin, " . . . decisions about the all-important elements in the economic and social lives of nations are not

made primarily according to the political will, ethical consensus, traditional morality, or social trends of the nations." Martin identifies the Vatican's first money manager of recent times as the littleknown and reclusive Bernardino Nogara. an Italian financial genius who built up the indemnities paid by Italy in 1929 to the Vatican into a major financial treasury by 1942. Nogara's motive was not greed. He sought to manage the Vatican's funds so that it

It easy to tread the treacherous line between feminism and family. Her deep devotion to her family has often meant an emotional battle must be fought before she can make a decision which remains true to her feminist ideals. Ann Oakley is no braburning, butch feminist. She cares deeply about the place of women in the world, but she cares about men too. Her life has never embraced easy answers and her search for herself has often lead her astray. Her book is courageously honest, and this sometimes painful and absorbing account of her life so far has been writ-

ten with clarity and growing perception.

Taking It Like A Woman, by Ann Oakley, published by Flamingo, $7.95. Reviewed by Roslyn Ross.

Ann Oakley Is recognised as one of the foremost feminist writers today. and not only in her native Britain. In this, her autobiography, she describes the events which made her a feminist and the kind of mother, wife, academic and writer she is.

to sit among the great financial wheelers and dealers; the encouraging tradition of independence from normal surveillance and total secrecy; these are the factors which set up the Vatican for the manipulations of unscrupulous outsiders. Martin emphasises two serious requirements that need addressing in any reorganisation of Vatican finances.

To accomplish his rebuilding of the church's central finances, Nogara insisted on and won from Pius XI and Pius XII guarantees of independence from clerical control and interference. He defended this independence and control by an absolute cloak of secrecy. What worked to the Vatican's advantage under Nogara failed to serve it as well in the 1960s and up to the present.

This is an uneven book. At times Martin writes in an then vein, academic switches to an almost apocalyptic tone when speaking of the Catholic Church's role in history. There are occasional instances of sloppy editing, as when a quote appears on two successive pages, and accusations are made and left unsupported.

would never again have to be dependent on other temporal states for the money needed to carry out its mission. In postwar Italy and Europe the Vatican's financial strength was able to share in the rebuilding of the region, and the taste of financial power was whetted.

There now exists persuasive research which demon-

straws that the famine now occuriug on an unprecedented scale in northern and southern Africa is a consequence of policy failure rather than nature. This important and timely book — the result of a special report commissioned by the Independent Commission on International Humanitarian Issues — traces the three arguments that lead to this conclusion. First: famine is not a result of absolute food shortage but a consequence of poverty — there is enough food in the world to feed ever!,body but not every country can afford to pay for it. Second: when a disaster occurs it is the poor who are the most vulnerable. For example, when there is a crop failure it is the rural poor whose income is most

affected and who are therefore least able to buy food from another source. Third: a whole range of policy decisions, and indecisions, by African governments, donor governments and aid agencies have led to the current long-term crisis in which, despite increased food production. food per person has lagged behind population growth. But this is not simply a book about apportioning blame — it offers medium and long-term solutions to the problems of famine at a time when everyone's preoccupation is, quite rightly, with ways of alleviating the immediate situation. The team of development specialists have considered and reported on a number of pressing areas — the encour-

agement of small-scale at the expense of state farms and agribusiness; the need for a positive relationship betw een economic growth and population; changing the ways in which resources of environment, agriculture and people are managed; coordinating humanitarian assistance and aid policies; an improved famine earlywarning system; the need to encourage indigenous e xpertise and develop appropriate technology; the need for governments to pursue self-sufficency instead of being seduced by the lure of cash crops. Finally, and most importantly, there is a potential plan of action for governments and international agencies to consider in the context of their policy-making process.
