CASTLEGAR NEWS, Friday, August 5, 1977 Churches ‘Share Natives’ Fears’ ‘Pipeline Plans Opposed By TED BRISTOW ‘Rev, Bristow is an Angli- can} Minister at St. David's Regia Ecumenteal Parish). Up until now there hasn't been much profit to be gained fromh northern Canada, It's been mainly just a place for Indians and Eskimos—now Known as the Dene and Inuit— to call home, Hy But big companies are now gyeing the North—not as any- e's homeland, but as a route f¥r gas and oil to be brought sbuth, {| These companies are an- npyed at the churches for opposing their wishes. Com- phny executives have accused the churches of interfering, and have told them to mind their jown ‘business (personal. reli- ‘gfon) while the companies get og with their business (taking ogt the oil). { But the Churches have béen in the North a lot longer tHan the big companies. } The reason the Churches have,.opposed the companies’ wishes is because the Churches havetbeen in the North long enough to share the natives’ fegrs'of what a pipeline, built now,cwould do to their home- lari.” 2 The Anglican Church of Catiada, in co-operation with thé: Roman Catholic, United, Chistian Reformed Church and rs, has led in the defence of the natives against the big corporations. : 4 Prominent Churchmeh like Prifuate Ted Scott of \the Anglican Church and Bishop Remi De Roo of the Roman Catholic Church have made ANGLICAN CHURCH PRIMATE Ted Scott, one of several prominent churchmen opposing the proposed pipeline. It is perhaps important to « stress that the Churches have given support to the natives’ point of view, rather than tell the natives what is best. The Churches have helped native groups by financing publicity, doing behind-the-scenes re- search, and providing spokes- men to support the Dene and Inuit positions. Some years’ ago the Churches were accused of being irrelevant, of having nothing to say about real issues. Now the Churches are being accused of being too relevant. The Churches’ own good reason for sticking their neck out on a controversial issue is because they believe in the Gospel. The Gospel teaches us that God loves us, and we should love one another. Such neigh- bour-love applies to countries and companies, not just to brepeht threats of non: at to gheir churches—by their The Church, like its found- ae Believes that people are the natlve position. 4 B than profits (read Matthew Chapter 6, for example) and therefore must take sides when a whole people believe their cherished way of life is threatened with destruc- tion, Christian compassion wants’ to protect individuals , from the despondency, alcohol- ism, welfare-ism, and defeatism which the natives see the pipeline, built too soon, un- leashing upon the North, The Churches, guests for many years in the homeland of the Dene and Inuit, have joined with their friends, in faithful- ness to the Gospel, in support- ing a moratorium on the pipeline. They are asking Cana- dians who share these concerns to write Ottawa and’ support the Berger commission recom- mendation of a 10-year mora- torium on pipeline construction. Your letter to Prime Minis- ter Pierre Trudeau and Koote- nay West MP Bob Brisco supporting the moratorium would be a vote for humane justice for the people of the North. Pulpit and Pew By Pastor DONALD W. REED chills my blood to hear th lame Supreme rudely apni wrote the ‘poet Cow: per. Maintain your’ ‘rank; vul- garity despise; to swear is neither brave, polite nor wise. You Svould not swear upon the bed ‘sf death; Reflect! Your Master now could stop your breath.” . And a General Order is- sued by General George Wash- ington in New York, July, 1776, reads as follows: “The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice heretofore little known in an American army, is growing into fashion. He hopes the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavour to check it, and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessing a Heaven on our arms if we insult it by our impiety and folly.” Perhaps my, role i in society to this matter: of profanity. Perhaps I am guilty of over- reacting. All I know is that the deluge of profanity that reaches my ears through the mass media, through public officials, through the man on the street concerns me deeply. Profanity is stupid. An old writer put it like this: “Some sins are productive of temporary profit or pleasure, but profaneness is productive of nothing. It is the most gratuitous of all kinds of wickedness.” Then again, profanity is weak. Behind it stands weak- . Ness in vocabulary, in mentality and in personality. John Bun- yan, creator of The Pilgrim's Progress, looking back on his unconverted days, wrote: “I knew not how to speak unless I put an oath before and behind to make my words have authority.” What he was. saying’: ‘| ig that he was so i bi siness directo Advertising Rates and Information Cali 365-5210 j C.

Mental poverty, too, may lie behind profanity. “He knew not what to say,” wrote Byron * of an acquaintance, “so he swore." The problem is not only in not knowing how to speak . but also in not knowing what to say. But most, serious of all, profanity is irreverent. We use God's holy Name to support our unholy anger. Or we frivolously or unbecomingly use words with deeply solemn implica- tions, such as the word “hell.” Profanity does matter. Its irreverence disgusts the re- fined, grieves the godly, insults * the Most High and injures our own souls, a church ST. RITA’ CATHOLIC CHUACH Rev. Michael Guinan .
