HUNT Whltby Baptist Church -« 110wsorry we are for those whom thie recession has put out of work!1 We are also sorry for those wbo can think of nothing else. Life has other vital dimensions we can miss if we're holding our breath until the economy changes. Mind you, recession is not aIl bad. It has sbown us how avidly we have btxilt up security hedges and comforts unknown in many other parts of the world. On the other hahd it bas shown how far on the road to collapse this most fortunate 0f countries bas corne. It bas changed the issues from human self- improvement to sheer survival. The economic situation bas become the test of our spiritual and moral resources, and we're low on marks!1 As a gas bar attendant said, " I see you're a clergyman. 50 you're not reaily lost like mnost 0f us." Truth is that we are ail in this loat and broken situation together. A few of us have discovered a window of, hope and the ladder of honesty by which we can climb down from our crumbling security. The recession simply shows us how flimsy life is when money, business and material goods are the goda we trust for spiritual well-being and salvation.- The good news is that in our world there is a cross- current called renewal. While there are those like the gas bar attendant who feel their lostness, others are experiencing a fresh outpouring of life in God's love, power and joy. It may not put money in the bank or food on the plate, but it cornes free and it lif- Put on the new self - God, its Creator, bis own image!1 ELECT KENNETH C. as TR USTEE he has the TIME & COMMITMENT to UPGRADE STANDARDS & HOLD DOWN COSTS FOR THOSE WHO SEEK VALUE.

The joyf is real!1 -Some churches have gone at renewal through re- treata and group experiences like the "ceursillos". Others have planned special meetings with evange- lists and musicians (and dancers and actors, as in the Toronto "JVoy in the City" experience). In my church, Whitby Baptist, we have accepted the offer of an agency that sends a few members 0f a churcb as a team to spend a week wilth another church, visiting, consulting and holding mee .tings. Our team is coming from Hereford, Texas, from November 7 to 14. Some ch'urches may have their doors, closed to -reneWal. Even there miracles can happen. People Who think the church is in recession or dead or full of hypocrites rnay have forgotten about the Bible -and prayer. Bible reading alone has brought con- version and renewal to scores of people. Wben we discover we can do notbing personally to end reces- sioni or restore jobs and confidence, we can still pray and freely bring our needs and womres to the ultimate court of appeal, the resource centre of God. We see God focussed in Jesus Christ. We see him, ,being born in lives he la changing and turning around. We can see spiritual renewal enabling people to cope with the effecta of economic reces- sion and anything that threatens the life and happi-
