THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1995. PAGE 23.
New pastor happy to serve rural parishes
By Bonnie Gropp
It was not a lifelong mission, nor
a calling, that brought Cathrine
Campbell to the ministry.
The Brampton native refers to the
choice of her newest profession as
an on-going process. Ordained on
Aug. 17, Cathrine preached her
first sermon on Sept. 1 at Melville
Presbyterian, Brussels and Knox
Presbyterian, Belgrave. She was
inducted on Sept. 10.
Cathrine had enjoyed a variety of
careers, from assistant registrar at a
number of universities and colleges
to working for an MPP, before
joining the Presbyterian ministry.
She decided to go back to school
at Knox College when she was in
her 40s, to get her Masters. Origi-
nally Cathrine planned on being a
librarian, but she became involved
with the national church and has,
she says, "the unusual distinction of
being chair of the board and a stu-
dent."
Becoming a minister was "an
evolutionary thing," she says.
Cathrine also served as a school
board trustee for the Peel Board of
Education, which she says, provid-
ed her with some "good chal-
lenges."
Beginning Oct. 1 there will be a
21.6 per cent cut in payments to
welfare recipients in Huron but
people will be allowed to earn more
money from working before their
payments are cut.
In a report to the the Huron
County Social and Cultural Ser-
vices Committee, John MacKin-
non, social services administrator,
said the cuts made by the provincial
government will mean a single per-
son who is employable will receive
$520 per month instead of the cur-
rent $663, a drop of $143. Howev-
er, if the person had a part-time job
that paid $200 a month, he or she
would now lose only $60 of their
support instead of $112.50 so the
net loss would be $100.50.
A couple on welfare will see
their support drop $249 but if they
earn $1,000 a month they'll be able
to keep an extra $75, meaning a net
Pastors are found for Presbyteri-
an parishes through the call system
Following ordination, a profile is
sent to a congregation which then
invites that pastor to preach for a
call.
If the congregation feels there is
compatibility they issue a call to
the pastor, who in turn has the
opportunity to accept.
For Cathrine, who is single, the
call to Brussels was a welcome
one. "In my case, I was hoping to
stay within range of my family (she
has two sisters in Brampton). I'm
only two hours away here, so I was
very pleased when they approached
me."
The move was not as much of a
culture shock as one might have
expected. "Brampton has been
home for 30 years, but this is not
that much different because I actu-
ally lived in the country outside
Brampton. As a matter of fact the
first week here we (she and her dog
Hector) had a bit of an adjustment
to make to the noise."
Cathrine was also amazed by the
busyness of the community. "Peo-
ple are people everywhere and
from what I've seen thus far, I don't
think I'm going to be bored. There
drop of $174 a month.
The changes are expected to save
the province $1 billion a year and
could save Huron $41,000 between
October and December, and
$164,000 next year, based on the
same level of cases.
MacKinnon's report said, howev-
er, that the government's decision
to drop the jobsOntario without
starting a similar projects will make
it harder for people to get off wel-
fare. The jobs program had helped
many people get a job by subsidiz-
ing training.
There were 613 welfare cases
with 1,244 beneficiaries at the end
of June, down 25 eases last year.
Huron's rate of 2.07 per cent of the
population receiving municipal
social assistance is the fifth lowest
in Ontario (Kingston is highest at
11.51 per cent).
are so many organizations, and
though I'm not a compulsive joiner,
I have belonged to a number of
organizations," she says, such as
the library board and hospital
board.
Her active congregations will
keep her on the go as well. Noting
that the ministry is never a 9-5 job,
Cathrine says she hopes in the next
little while to get around to visiting
her parish members. "By the time
you're finished what you need to do
there are not many hours left. But
I'm planning to be a fairly active
minister."
Acknowledging that Melville,
with its membership of 200, and
Knox with 25 members have some
distinctively different needs, such
as programming of activities, the
basic needs of the parishioners are
essentially the same, Cathrine says.
"I hope I'm not one of those people
who comes in with a grand scheme.
I want to know what each one is
thinking and learn about the com-
munity at large."
The congregation and its role in
the community is an important
aspect of the ministry to Cathrine.
"The biggest challenge for the
church today is that it not be shy.
Research bares out that churches
have stood back and not ventured
opinions on issues. They have
withdrawn from the mainstream.
The church used to be part of the
community. I think perhaps it's
swung too far the other way."
"But come back and ask me in

six months," she says, adding that
her perspective thus far is from
experiences in a large urban
church.
She credited her congregations
with being the type of church that
has formed a partnership with the
community. "They are involved.
This church is not just somewhere
you go on Sunday to rest or
because it's free parking."
While pastors often seem to
come and go at rural churches,
Cathrine says she has no set time in
mind for how long she will be min-
istering at tlie Melville and Knox
parishes. "I am a great believer in
the call system, and I hope to stay
as long as my call is here."
"For the time being I'm just get-
ting acquainted with the people and
learning my way around the lines
and concession. I need a good little
map."
