Times-Advocate, January 29, 1970 PPO, 9 No drawback being a woman
Rev. Susan Seymour not a feminist
needs to give people a sense of
belonging. They need some place
to hang their hats and share
`community' and the Church
must be available for this."
One gentleman went so far as
to say that in his opinion "Rev,
Seymour is the best preacher
we've ever had arid :she sure biO,
the :knack of getting you 10 do
what she wants you to.
FROM YARDLEY'S
have to learn to give of
ourselves."
A further resource for living,
she adds, is having a good
knowledge of the Scriptures,
both Old and New, The job of
the minister is to help people
find how the Bibles relates to
their lives. There has to be
somebody to help make the
connection, otherwise these
truths can be very flat.
"As ministers, our role is to
teach and to educate for living,"
Miss Seymour admitted most
congregations feel they've had a
successful year 'when the books
balance.'
"It is the minister's duty to
open the doors and windows and
hopefully have some influence in
showing the congregation the
need for spiritual growth as well
as financial balance, and to
direct their attention and
concern to the 'wider
community of the world.'

RECREATION
AND RELAXATION
Besides her ministerial duties,
Susan Seymour is the chatelaine
of a large, two storey, red brick,
nine room manse. Helping with
these duties is an efficient
housekeeper, Mrs. Minnie
1Viardlin. The rest of their family
consists of "Tweedy", a canary,
and "Shadow" a faithful collie.
For relaxation and fun 'Sue'
enjoys the hobby of
photography, does a bit of
skidooing and horseback riding
and visits her friends. She
confesses it's difficult to have
much social life.
"There's a meeting to attend
nearly every night and with this
job you're never off duty.
However, I've learned to be
sensible and go away for a few
days every once in a while:,
Asked what she sees in the
future for herself, she replies
with a little gleam in her eye.
"Well, of course, if the
opportunity arises I would want
to marry and raise a family. I
would not then continue to
work in the capacity of a
pastoral minister. I guess I'm a
little old fashioned with regard
to working mothers. However, I
would likely use my experience
and training in volunteer work
closely related to the Church."
CONGREGATION HAPPY
Members of her congregations
speak of their minister in
glowing terms. After Sunday
services at Granton two of them
admitted they hadn't voted for
her in the beginning because
they just couldn't see a 'woman'
as a minister. In less than two
years, however, their thinking is
completely changed.
Exeter 735-1070
THE NEW CHURCH
The question was posed,
"What kind of future do you see
for the Church?"
"I am a member of a
committee studying the
proposed union of the United,
Anglican and Church of Christ's
Disciples, so of course, I hear a
great deal from people who say
the church must change.
Undoubtedly, the shape of the
Church will change but, I
believe, its essential basis will
not."
"I believe the New Church
will be Holy. That is, set apart to
do God's work among men. I
also believe the emerging Church
must become aware that it is
Apostolic, or that it 'is sent' to
share the good news, the
knowledge of the Church."
"It must be a 'reformed'
church, constantly being
renewed by the activity of God
through the events and times in
which we live."
"Psychologically, the Church
Rev, Susan Seymour, United
Church minister at Granton and
Wesley, London Township, is a
pretty, young woman who
captivates with her warmth,
vitality, sincerity and wit.
Ordained three and one half
years ago she is now ministering
in her second charge of about
190 households. Prior to coming
to Granton two years ago she
worked in Saskatchewan.
Raised in London, Ontario,
she planned to find her vocation
in the business world. She was.
active in one of the London
Little Theatre groups and
foresaw herself remaining
involved with some kind of
theatre work as well.
However, in her middle teens
she became acquainted with
C.G.I.T. and was so impressed
with what she saw in the lives of
her leaders her interest in
Christianity grew, Out of this
growth came her decision to
enter the ministry,
"I came to believe that the
Christian faith had a dimension
that gives wholeness to life and I
wanted to share this knowledge
and experience with others."
Miss Seymour relates her
parents were surprised 'to say
the least' at her decision, but
once they got used to the idea
were behind her all the way.
WOMEN IN THE MINISTRY
There are only 60 women
ministers in the United Church
of Canada and when asked if she
experienced any discrimination
from men clergy she answered
she had never been aware of any,
"I am certainly not a
feminist, but I hope the day is
coming soon, when in all
professions, we will speak of a
"person" rather than a "man" or
a "woman".
Susan Seymour doesn't feel
there are any drawbacks to a
woman being a minister of the
church and thinks there may be
a few advantages. "Perhaps
women, in general, are more
sensitive and have a more
diplomatic approach". She adds,
hastily, however that many men
share these characteristics and it
is unfair to generalize.
In answer to what she likes
best about her work she replies
she feels it a privilege to be in a
position where she can see many
people drawing on their inner,
spiritual resources in face of
tragedy and trouble and carrying
on their lives in a triumphant
wholesome, creative way.
DUTIES OF MINISTER
As to the duties of a minister
she thoughtfully states that first,
the clergy must have a truth to
communicate and then be able to
say it in language the people can
understand.
"It's a big task." People
constantly ask, "Is there any
meaning to life? Is there any
hope? How can we learn to live
with each other?"
"We must direct them to the
resources that will make them
want to get up the next morning
when they go to bed at night.
"What are these resources?"
she was asked.
"Christ. What I see in Him is
an example of self-giving love.
Our society is full of material
things, and that's fine, but there
are other values and we need to
give more than our money. We
