Since there are not suitably navigable Yugos av rivers up which to send Australian gunboats to s ow who is boss, we have to be content with our television service giving free ti e to the offending staffs' heroic homecoming and Y goslav officials discoursing at length how it is really the Australians who have all the prob ems.

An Australian official cutely commented that Yugoslavia may have shot itself in the foot by expelling Australian consular staff needed to process holiday visas to Australia, but the now familiar bickering that perpetually invades just about any Australian debate about anythi , leaves Australians wondering if they are their own worst enem·es in a crisis. There won't be any public Be grade bickeri g about whet er a mi or official thug has not made himself a touch unpopular.

The incident. of course, will vanish a d be dip omatically buried as soon as each side YJOrks out how much is at sta e. Out in the real wortd, Australians will be left to their own de ices to cope with their unreso ved strong feelings. ot only shou d Australians not be clirnbinq consu ate fences on errands of misch ief goes the e culprits s ou d not even correct advice, b covet climbing the fence, goes th wimpish advice b ing handed out to any n w arrivals ose b ood still runs stro g.

The season of Advent senes as a reminder that in the incarnation "God becomes dependent. The independent one becomes dependent," said Rose Hengesbach, a theologian and university administrator.

In this way we are shown that this is "what our life is too."

Who is a model of strength to you?

For many, the strong person is a Clint Eastwood type, the stalwart, taciturn hero who travels light and singlehandedly fights a pack of bullies in order to free an entire town.

For others. it is a Steve Jobs, the brilliant computer expert whose Apple Computer made him a millionaire in his 20,, as he revolutionised the computer business for people at home.

For some, however, a quite different portrait of the strong person emerges.

And it isn't the person with an eye-catching solo

For Rost• Mane Hengesbach, a strong person is one who recognises that depending on others is healthy and necessary.

It is a myth to think that "independence means doing everything yourself" said · \1s Hengesbach.

People who are strong are able to ad mdependrntl} but never forget their connec.tions with others.

She said recalling an instance when their daughter Heidi, now an adult, learned for herself

The birth of a child always is a time to rejoice.

An infant is so wonderful - such a sign of goodness.

So the birth of the child Jesus calls some of our finest inclinations into play.

Instinctively we recognise this as more than sufficient reason to celebrate.

What is so confounding about Christmas is that it celebrates the Word of God becoming flesh as an infant - a dependent infant.

And dependency, it hardly need be noted, isn't the most greatly

The Record, December 8, 1988

Katharine BIRD how dependence and independence work.

Heidi found a bedShe raggled kitten named him Independence and began to feed

him.

Under her car, the cat developed into a striking. powerful animal who lived up to his name as he went on long forays in the neighbourhood.

Independence probably could have survived on his own, said Ms Hengesbach. But he used Heidi as his home base and source of security.

The home base is an important source of strength for people too.

Ms Hengesbach said.

In a class she is teaching are mostly men in night school working for a master's degree in business.

On a recent occasion when one of the students invited the others to go out for a nightcap, most refused saying, "l have to touch base with my farmlv. I've been out - rveral night in a row," and Independent aggressive at work but "wiped out by their strenuous schedules, they recognised that their strength was replenished at home," Mrs Hengesbach said. for her, that attitude indicated the students had a healthv ...,nse of dependence - on their families and their life at home.

"And sometimes people

are more dependent, sometimes more independent," she added. It shifts from time to time, often depending on a person's physical or emotional condition.

That was illustrated in Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov, the 19thcenturv Russian playwright.

In this play, one person's strength bolsters another's at a crucial moment.

Uncle Vanya is a 47year-old man bored to the extreme by his idle life in a rural country manor.

When the woman he has loved from afar leaves the manor, Vanya becomes deeply depressed and steals a vial of morphine thinking to end his life.

He is persuaded to go on living by the entreaties of Sonia, his niece, She makes an appeal to him, reminding him how much he means to the

Jesus, whose birth we celebrate at this time of the year, entered human society as a helpless baby completely dependent on Mary and Joseph.

And all through his life he depended on his friends' love and support.

He did not go through his ministry whistling"! Did It \1y Way."

Dependence. Independence. Perhaps we oversimplify the options that exist for us by imagining at times that our choice is between self-sufficiency and helplessness.

If we imagine that our options are limited to dependence or independence, we may overlook the possibilities of interdependence.

Do we cling tenaciously to an exaggerated form of individualism, imagining that our self-identity will evaporate if we get too involved in the human community?

Or do we wish we could achieve a kind of independence that would give us total control over all the events in our lives?

It is tempting to think that we could make

Then we risk overlooking the gifts others could bring into our lives as we narrow down the riches of this world to ourselves.

Perhaps this amounts to a fear and distrust of the human condition.

Vvhat is mind-boggling about Christmas is that it celebrates the birth of one who enters fully into human life - so fully, in fact, that he begins life as a dependent infant.

Every step of the way in the Bible the arrogant claim of self-sufficiency is followed by a sharp reminder of dependence.

God rescued his people

lrnnica llv in hath instances, ·tht• rlaim to independent e brought wit h it an ev en keener realisation of interdependence.

Dependence and pendence is a � for Advent that c:.1 Ip Christmas reflect the truly stron& as our stories this week.

But the Word of God couldn't - wouldn't possibly enter so fully into our kind of life, we imagine.

What reason would the all-sufficient Word of God have for doing so, we wonder,

On Christmas, the fact that life in this world has potential is affirmed.

This is a world where people can share life without losing individuality.

It is a world where people need each other, rely on each other. In this world people are able to enrich each other's lives.

On this day of the incarnation the Word of God startles us by becoming flesh. Christmas will turn our common notions upside down.

tell Katharine Bird. \1onica Clark tells how a car breaking down brings her to new awareness of what it means to be mterdependent.

She say, that a healthy interdependrnce is charac.terised bv letting others guide you at times, being able to articulate needs to others and

maintaining one's own sense of responsibility.

Jane Wolford Hughes illustrates how she loomed as a child what interdependence and dependence mean by helping a [ewish woman in her neighbourhood get to the synagogue on the Sabbath.

The earliest known

declaration of indepdence was Cain's cynical denial that he was his brother's keeper, Father John Castelo! says.

Throughout the Bible, he adds. the Israelites' attempts to go it alone brought them sharply up against the need to rely on God and on each other.

DISCUSSION POINTS The birth of Jesus sets many of our usual notions on their heads. This Messiah of love is one who challenges our usual notions of strength, for example: • Who is a person of strength for you?

• Do you tend to think that strong people should not need to rely on others?

• What is the difference between independence and interdependence in human relations?

Exaggerated dependence LS just as selfish as brash independence, But absolute indepcndenr e is an illusion. People depend on each other in countless wavs. "I alone can do it. but -l can't do it alone." are words that would often apply in human affairs.

In the case of Iesus, everything he did was motivated bv the needs of his fellow human beings and bv a deep consciousness of his dependent ,. on his Father. "Mv food is to do the will ofthe one who sent me and to finish his work" I John 4:34).

Saturday mornings with a Jewess I remember Satunlay slowly mominp movi down the street with Mrs Rosenthal leaning on me.

I was about nine and not very tall but we were almost the same height.

The weight of her years bad squashed her frail bones into the high shoes she wore.

It was a wobbly trip of a block and a half to the synagogue.

Mrs Rosenthal lived next door. She was an Orthodox Jew and the only Jew on our street.

WOLFORE HUGHES

Interdependence is a new term for the age-old, complex pattern of dependency and mutual responsibility.

It is a useful term, but our grasp of it generally pales by comparison with Christ's blazing vision of a loving community.

Acts of interdependence, it must be stressed, have a way of feeding more interdependence.

That is what Bob and an discovered.

Bob is a pharmacist and Nan a nurse who grew

Their closest neighbours, Frank and Liz. were bard-working, third-generation farmers with in degrees agriculture.

They were known for their vegetables, especially their fine kernel corn and glossy white eggplant.

Through the summer and winter the two couples shared dreams.

The couple bought a small farm. -we had no intention of working the land but hoped that it would be a good and healthy community for the family we hope to

Bob and an talked about it and made a proposal, which Frank and Liz accepted.

Bob and an would lend their friends the land to plant.

In return, one-third of the harvest would go to the soup kitchen in town where they worked as volunteers; they would get what they needed for their table; the rest Frank and Llz could sell.
