Oestreieher of Walkerton was in- stalled as the new chairperson of Presbytery succeeding Rev. Margaret Bain of Hanover. In a report from the Division of Mis- sion and Stewardship, Ruth Wolfe of Clifford, introduced new books and study materials that .are available at the resource centre in Clifford. Rev. Ralph Schmidt introduced a new study entitled 'Family Violence in a Patriar- chal Society' and informed us that he is presently using the material with his congregation in Bervie. At this point in the proceedings Rev. Mervyn Russell of Paisley introduced Professor Donald Santor of Western University, a United Churth layman, with the Division of Education and Cur- riculum Development. Professor Santor is thb chairperson of the Ecumenical Study Commission working with Roman Catholic, Anglican, United, Presbyterian, Baptist and Lutheran representatives and more recently with Hindus, Budists, Muslems and Zoro Astrians. In answering our concern for the direction of religious education in Ontario schools, Professor Santor began his address by reminding us that the Public School education systim was founded by Egerton Ryerson who set up Iwo pillars, growth and spiritual growth. These curriculum guidelines had not been changed since 1949. The Christian faith was encourag- ed through the Christian clergy.' In the mid 1960's a movement started against 'Christi= Education in the schools. The Jewish and Buddist influence caused schools to opt out of religious -education. The growing heterogeneous society necessitated change. The Ecumenical Study Commission looked into this twen- ty years ago and have separated religious instruction and Christian faith. Religious education is to learn about religion and to gain a respect for religion. The Charter of Rights does not allow the teaching of one religion. It is important that the program of religious education taught in our schools respond to the multi -cultural- and multi -faith nature sif the population of the province. Accordingly the Ecumenical Study Com- mission has recommended to the Ministry of Education the introduction of multi -faith religious education in both the elementary and semidary schools of Ontario. Recently Dr. 'Glenn Watson was ap- pointed by the 'Minister of Education to conduct a Ministerial Inquiry into religious education in the public elemen- tau sehools. This Inquiry is eficourag- rug input from interested people. Professor Santor concluded his remarks by starting/the three objectives of the Ecumenical Study Com lission: First - set up m1119-fivtil task force Secondly - to train pe to 'teaeb With appropriate n, odoiogy Thirdly- to identity schools to have pilot projects Midti-faith religious education in the United Kingdom is working well. Religious education classes are beginn- ing in the U.S.S.R. Here in Ontario separate sehools are anxious to have a religious education program in schools amass the province. Following the noon lunch provided by the ladies of Zion-Amabel ehurch, a Time for Singing and A Time for Prayer was led by Rev. Bain Milroy of Allenford With piano 'accompanimeit by Rev. Barbara hIcklath Saugeen Reserve. It wao announced that Ruth and Sheldon Wolfe And Marjory Stevenson were presented, at the Annual meeting of conference, with the St. Andrew ward for ,quiet ant continuing service. therine Wilson, the associate Paolisher of the Observer, spoke 'to the -ftanoon session of 4the court.

Joyce McPherson of Ripley, chairper- 'ton of the Board of Directors for the resource centre, announced a zone effort in the fall to promote new ideas. The Smorgasbord Evening is to be held in Lucknow, October 22nd beginning at 5:30 p.m. with a potluck dinner followed by the meeting. Interested persons in Zones 2 and 4 are invited to attend. The planning committee for this meeting in- cludes Orla Jarrell, Kincardine; Rev. Barbara McMath, Southampton Reserve; Joyce Mcewan, Kincardine and Joyce McPherson. The resource center will not be open II in July and August but phone orders will be accepted. Burton Sodgins Jr. reported on the "Fun Day" youth 'meeting • held • in Hanover, April 22nd. A time of fellowship, devotions and games was en- joyed by all. It is hoped that the youth of Bruce Presbytery will enjoy greater participation in this yearly event. Rev. Gerald McFarlane from Lucknow, spoke about the new work book for congregational worship com- mittee entitled 'Workshop on Spirituali- ty', available at Hamilton Conference office. A fall workshop on worship led by Fred Grahamirom 8551 Clair Ave. will be held on October 28th. More infor- mation as to time and place will be an- nounced later. Rev. Barry Bain reporting for Queen's Bush Rural Ministries stated that funds have been provided by Bruce Presbytery, Hamilton Conference, Toronto Conference, Grey County and the Roman Catholic church in Hanover but other funding is lacking. He expressed concern for the future of this project. Laura Williams of Port Elgin, repor- ting for the U.C.W., told of the Hamilton Conference U.C.W. two day meeting at which Rev. Margaret Bain was a princi- ple speaker.. The retreat at Silver Lake Camp was announced as a reminder to all ladies of Bruce Presbytery to attend on Thursday, June 22nd from 9:30 to 3:00 p.m. The theme is 'Walking in Love' with the camp staff conducting. Rev. Kenneth Welch, Clifford, an- nounced the Presbytery Retreat Day at Inspiration Place on October 30th. Rev. Kelly Walker of Bolton is to be the speaker. Sheldon Wolfe reported that Mission Support Grants are $50,000 less than is needed in Hamilton Conference. Carrick Camp Meetings are being held each Sunday in July. Rev. Jack Fearnall, minister at Zion- Amabel church reported on the situation at Zion pastoral charge and Sauble Beach. The South Sauble church operates from May 24th to mid- September and is an almost self- supporting ecumenical community church. Zion-Amabel is the only Protes- tant Church 'that is open the year round. With more people moving to Sauble Beach every year and Amabel Township showing an increase in population there is a greater need for a permenent year round church at the beach. Membership at the Zion church has almost tripled in the last two years. Consideration should be given to possible enlargement of the present church or a new building at the beach. Turning to the submission of remits, one of importance was the matter of commissioners and delegates to Con- ference. The ratio of commissioners and lay person representatives should be ad- justed to reflect the same ratio as is now in effect on Presbytery where the ratio reflects a greater number of lay peo1e than tOrgy. 'This would apply to bet 'General Council and General 'Ceun- eil Executive. Bev. Murray Rounding 4)1 Ahnwood expressed concern for needy ministries in Bruce Presbytery and consideration is being given ,to eacplering means of helping where there is such a need. °hang.es in the ministry in Bruce rre5bYTerY concern iRev. :Kenneth Tan- ner of Palmerston, retiring; Rev. calueron McMillan of Sarrinton owing to ,Brussels Pastoral Rharffe in Huron - Perth to Presbytev% ouitm44e Ram Milroyiaof pastoral therige north ,of 101458014 Rev. pastOrRalPtialeluMrs.dteappointed 14) Rervie'
