NEW YORK ~— A spectacular church overlooks the
bleakness of Harlem. Its great walls rise above the rubble
of many lives; drug dealers at times work in the shadow
of its towers.

Its grandeur is glaring. And yet, there is something
neighborly about the Cathedral Church of St. John the
Divine.

In the chill of December, laughing children kick a ball
in the church playground. The bishop's dog roams safely
away from the resident peacocks while a man delivering
cookies to old people stops by to chat up the dean's
Secretary.

Even in its unfinished state, St. John’s is the world’s
second-largest church, almost three times the size of
Westminster Abbey in London and smaller only than St.
Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Everyone, it seems, comes calling. Recently, it was a

group of Tibetan monks, who lighted 1,000 butterlamps im
& peace ceremony.

Poor people come not only to pray, but to preach.

Dean James Morton shares his Episcopal (Anglican)
pulpit with rabbis, ists, Bi the homel
and politicians of every stripe. Rev. Jesse Jackson and
conservative Jeane Kirkpatrick have both known his
bruising handshake.

On St. Francis of Assisi Day, animals of all sorts are
in the congregation. Camels, elephants and dogs are
brought in to be blessed, as are even the fleas that
bedevil them.

Does heaven have fleas? “Oh, I hope so,” Morton
said, for his church recently blessed two fleas 4 man
carried in on his head.

Situated with’ six other church buildings northwest
of Central Park, the Gethic cathedral rises more than 40
metres from the floor to its nave vault ceiling and
stretches the length of two football fields,

And it is growing. Under Morton, construction of the
century-old cathedral resumed in 1979 after a 40-year
halt.

Officials say the cathedral has amassed $13 million
US toward an $80-million endowment and if it continues
to experience the luck of October — when it got out of the
stock market just before the crash — it might be finished
by the year 2000.

For people such as church spokesman Paul Gorman,
that day will bring both happiness and regret.

“In the hustle and bustle of this place, seeing stone
going up and stone being cut and carved, you're con-
stantly réminded of the shaping of your own life and the
shaping of an institution's life, and of helping to shape a
city's life.”

Morton is often asked how he can justify spending
money on stone when so much poverty is around him.

He finds his most vivid explanation in the Buddhist
saying that if someone has only two coins, one should be

spent on a piece of bread and the other on a flower.

“If you only build stone towers and don't care about
homeless people you are, I think, in heresy,” he said.
“Similarly, if you only feed people and house them and
don't care about joy and exaltation and the spirit, you're
robbing: them of that which is most precious in human
experience.

“You must do both and there is always a tendency to
do just one.”

Bread and flowers is a recurring theme of the
eathedral, where metaphors are as powerful as its
marble.

Previously unemployed youths, trained by British
experts in the fading skills of stonecutting, shape blocks
of Indiana limestone for the rising towers. Church volun-
teers renovate housing in poor parts of the city, run
errands for old people to enable them to continue living at
home and look after a homeless shelter on the property.

MPs won't get huge increases

OTTAWA (CP) — MPs and senators won't be getting
any whopping salary hikes this year because wage increases
for Canadian workers were low in 1987,

Average backbench MPs will see $1,300 tacked onto
their 1987 cheques for a total income of $77,800 in 1988.

Prime Minister Brian Mulroney will get a $2,500 raise
for’ total of $148,900, provided his government survives
any federal election that may be called in 1988.

Cabinet ministers, Liberal Leader John Turner and
Commons Speaker John Fraser will earn $122,300 each in
1988 — an increase of $2,000 — while New Democrat Leader
Ed Broadbent gets $104,600, compared to $102,900 in 1987.

‘The average senator will receive a $67,700 pay package

in 1968, ‘
Parliamentarians’ salaries are tied to either the
industrial aggregate, which measures average hikes in
workers’ wages, or the consumer price index, whichever is
lower,

In 1987, wages increased on average 2.8 per cent while,
consumer prices rose about 4.4 per cent over 1986, based on
the latest available figures from Statistics Canada.

Under the Senate and House of Commons Act, the
increases are set one percentage point below the lowest

indicator, Therefore, MPs' and senators’ salaries will rise
about 1.8 per cent in 1988,

The industrial aggregate is the average of all wages and
salaries in forestry, mining, manufacturing, construction,
transportation, communications, trade, finance, real estate,
services and the public service.

Mulroney and his cabinet ministers got hefty increases
last year after they dropped a two-year freeze on their
special salary allowances. The Prime Minister's pay rose
about $14,000 a year ago.

All MPs, including cabinet ministers, earn a basic pay
package — $58,500 in 1988, up from $57,400 — plus tax-free
expense allowances based on their riding location.

MPs from the Northwest Territories will have expense
allowances of $25,600 in 1988 while those in 23 remote
ridings, including Mulroney's Quebec riding of Manicouagan,
will be $23,900.

MPs in all other ridings will receive $19,400 for their
expense allowances on top of their basic pay. The costs of
running their offices, travel to and from their ridings and
other perks of the job are paid for from general Commons
expenses.

Cabinet ministers, Turner, Broadbent, Fraser and other

MPs holding spetial positions receive allowances on top of

their basic pay and expenses.

Liberal House leader Herb Gray gets a special
allowance of $21,700 because his party forms the official
Opposition while New Democrat House leader Nelson Riis
receives an extra $9,300 for his duties,

Senators earn the same basic pay as MPs — $58,400 this

$9,300 in 1988.

Liberal Senator Colin Kenny believes senators’ tax-free
expense allowances should be the same as MPs’ and he
