Bridal flowers and table

The regal “cut-away” neck-
line was offset with lace and
pearls throughout the bodice.

She wore a ruby heart-

quets similar to that of the
bride's.

Many people ask me why,
if there is only one God, there
are so many different chur-
ches. People want to know
why the Christian church ap-
Pears to be fragmented and

il ten éross-
“putpdses to" itself.

A quick look at the New
Testament will reveal that
serious differences of opinion
arose in the earliest Christian
church ,over various impor-
tant issues. Absolute unity is
something that has always
eluded the Christian church.

In any discussion of church

unity, however it is impor-
tant to keep a sense of per-
spective. There are differ-
ences between and among
those who call themselves
Christians. But there is also a
great deal upon which there
is surprising agreement: the
divinity of Christ, His pay-
ment for sin, the Bible as
God's trustworthy revelation
of His will; the call to share a
message with all who will
humbly respond.

Some differences are im-
portant and some are not. It
takes a great deal of wisdom
to separate one from the
other.

The Christian church, as a
whole, has always been rela-

The Christian church has
always given highest priority
to sharing Jesus Christ. It

Christ is the key to an abun-

this, I rejoice.”

MR. AND MRS. ROBERT GRAY \

Gray/Marcellus
wed December

Lorraine Mildred Marcellus, formerly of Castlegar,
and Robert Bruce Gray of Houston, B.C. were married on
the afternoon of Dec. 17 at St. David's Anglican Church in
Castlegar.

The church was decorated with candles in glass, and
evergreens and pine cones on window sills. The altar ar-

isted of pink poinsettias and d

candles.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis
Marcellus of Castlegar, and the groom is the son of Mrs.
Alice Gray of Calgary.

The officiating clergyman was Rev Charles
Balfour, and the organist was Mrs. A. Hostelter. A
blessing was given at the ceremony by the bride's uncle,
Ken Robey.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride had
chosen a long cream gown with a three-quarter gathered
sleeve, and a scoop neck, with lace trim around both.

Her headdress was made of sweetheart roses and
baby’s breath. The bride’s bouquet was royal (burgundy)
roses and winter mums in boxwood, with burgundy
ribbon.

She also wore a ruby pendant — an heirloom that be-
longed to her grandmother.

The matron of honor was Eileen Akselson of
Castlegar, sister of the bride. The flower girl was Melissa
Gray of Castlegar, daughter of the groom.

The matron of honor wore a burgundy dress with a
scoop neck and short puff sleeves. The flower girl wore a
short pink dress with white lace trim at the neck, and puff
sleeves.

They carried bouquets of pink mini-carnations and
baby's breath.

The best man was Bary McLeod of Nelson, while the
ushers were David and Doug Gray, brothers of the
groom, both from Calgary.

The reception was held at the Hi Arrow Arms, and
included a dinner and dance. It was decorated with
centrepieces of pink poinsettias and burgundy candles
and ribbon.

The names of the bride and groom were in silver letters
surrounded by pink poinsettias, behind the head table.

The twotiered wedding cake was decorated by
white feather doves decorated in burgundy and pink silk
roses and forget-me-nots. The cake-knife was an heirloom
belonging to the bride's great aunt.

Master of ceremonies was Jack Collinson of Kel-
owna. The toast to the bride was given by Dick Simmons
of Fruitvale, long-time friend of the family.

A toast to the groom was made by his friend, Jim
Eunson.

The newlyweds now live in Houston. Out-of-town
guests came from Sorrento, Vancouver, Victoria, Cal-

Central American visits

By ANN HOLDEN

This week, all across Can-
ada, church members, mem-
bers of trade unions and
community groups and just
plain ordinary citizens are
focussing their attention on
Canada's policies in Central
America and are telling the
government what they think.

Organized by the Ten Days
For World Development
program, which is sponsored
by five of Canada’s churches
(Anglican, Lutheran, United,
Roman Catholic and Presby-
terian), this education and
action project has been work-
ing for the past 11 years to
make Canadians and their
government more aware of
the root causes of poverty
and injustice in the Third
World and more aware of
what Canada can do to help
eliminate rather than just
“band-aid” the problems.

As Archbishop E.W. Scott,
Primate of the Anglican
Church of Canada says, “Ten
Days provides unique oppor-
tunities to get behind the
news and to listen to those
who stand with the poor in
the midst of repression and
conflict.” ?

Church leaders and others
involved in Ten Days have
often been challenged by the
question, “Why doesn't the
church mind its own busi-
ness? Why doesn't it stick to
religion?”

Their answer is to say that
the condition of the human
race must be the business of
the church because without
the basic needs of people
being met . . . without justice
and peace . . . “religion” is
meaningless.

The general focus of this
year’s Ten Days program is

to “urge the Canadian gov-
ernment to actively develop
and support policies that will
encourage the development
of just-self-determining and
participatory societies for the
majority Of people in Central
America.”

As Dennis McDermott,
President of the Canadian
Labor Congress said in a No-
vember 1983 statement, “In
our view, the root causes of
the political violence in Cen
tral America do not arise
from East-West tensions but
rather from decades of op-
pression and economic depri-
vation which will no longer
be asstained by the millions
of working people in that
troubled region.”

He also calls the present
Nicaraguan society “one of
the most promising develop-
ments towards social and
economic justice in Central
American history.”

Canadians will be asking
their government to make
Nicaragua a priority for Can-
adian aid, to- stop all gov-
ernment-to-government  (bi-
lateral) aid to E] Salvador,
Guatemala and Honduras be-
cause of gross and systematic
violations of human rights in
those countries, to oppose all
forms of military aid from
outside governments includ-
ing that of the U.S., and to
support the peace process in-
itiated by the neighbors of
Central America.

To help people in the West
Kootenays understand the
realities of Central American
life at this time and to en-
courage them to take part in
this national campaign, the
‘Ten Days program is spon-
soring a one-day visit to the
area today by a visitor from

Central America.

This person will speak
after the 11 a.m. mass in Our
Lady of Perpetual Help
Catholic Chruch in East Trail
and will then be in Castlegar
for the rest of the day.

From 2 to 4 p.m. there will
be a gathering in the Castle-
gar United Church to talk
about the lif@and work of the
basic Christian communities
in Central America and in the

evening from 7 to 9:30 p.m.
again in the United Church.
The visitor will participate in
an Amnesty International
meeting to talk about human
rights violations in the region
and about the Kissinger
report.

Both sessions will allow
time for participation and
questions from those attend-
ing and both are open to all
interested persons.
