Wednesday, October 4, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Page 7 Delegates descend on Terrace to discuss issues Eighty delegates from as far away as Fort Frances, Red Lake and Kenora converged in Terrace Bay community Church on Thursday, September 21 for the biannual Presbytery meeting. With help from the congrega- tion of St. Andrews United Church in Schreiber, bed and breakfast accommodation was provided for 40 delegates and they enjoyed a challenging and enjoyable time together. Lunch, an evening meal and numerous coffee breaks were pro- vided by a small army of enthusi- astic helpers, and the Community Church was full for the final wor- ship service conducted by the min- ister with the combined chorus of the Community Church and St. Andrews providing a musical "pack bone" to the service. On Saturday night delegates let their hair down at a social evening in the church hall with an evening of party games, dancing and some- what unorthodox singing. It was an encouraged but tired group that made their way back home. Some having to travel 12 hours to reach their destination. Here are reports submitted by some of the committee meetings held during the weekend. "Education of the child is the responsibility of all of us" theme speaker Jean Olthuis told delegates to Cambrian Presbytery meeting in Terrace Bay Community church the weekend of September 21 to 24. "A Place for You" means a place for all ages, she said of the current study which was devel- oped by a task force of five adults and ten children, accepted by the 31st Gencral Council meeting in Sudbury. There are different ways of worship and the curriculum involves adults, children and youth in a way which was described as exciting, honest, open and more fun. Children should not be patron- ized nor should they be treated as mini-adults, addressed in jargon beyond their understanding. To further integrate children into the life of the church, discus- sion groups reported worship com- mittees should have all ages repre- sented. Church leaders should "at Icast hear" what children have to say about worship and how they see their own congregation. "Token representation is not good enough," said Olthuis, Resource consultant for the U.C.C. in the Ministry with Children. "There must be an attitude of inclusiveness, of wholeness." Cambrian Presbytery in NWO could be a test pattern for a differ- ent model of church structure, as proposed by an ad hoc committce in its presentation "Visioning the Future". Concern about escalating expenses of mectings for Man/NWO Conference and vari- ous layers of church administra- tion, the report suggests a Cambrian Presbytery Conference with one staff person, to meet three times a ycar, empowered to ordain students who would still be required to meet with Manitoba Conference Review board. The report will be sent to zones, Conference and General Council for discussion and response, to be debated at the 1990 winter meeting of Cambrian Presbytery. : If approved, the report will go to the 33rd Gencral Council (1990) to be implemented by July 1; 1991. The model would be given a three year trial period. The Lakehead Japanese, Association has _ presented Cambrian Presbytery with a deco- rative plaque in appreciation of Presbytery support for redress by the Canadian government. Because of its historic and con- tinuing association with the Japanese community the plaque will be displayed in Knox Pruden, Thunder Bay. Hearing of the "network of injustice" which continues to sup- port a program of destabilization in Zaire, time will be given this issue in the Social Action commit-- tee at its next meeting. The Social Action committee of Cambrian Presbytery made a motion that political leaders involved in native justice issues be invited to speak at Cambrian Presbytery meeting the end of February in Thunder Bay. The topic proposed is urbaniza- tion of natives with relation to industry, health care, education and the legal system and future reserves. "We will not get all the answers but we must try to understand...what are the issues?" Close to 80 delegates at Cambrian Presbytery meeting heard positive signs in the life and work of the United Church in NWO.
