Rev. Huntley's conversation to
the children was about how lobsters
live in the water. They can not

to learn about God.

At the recent Safe and Healthy
Communities seminar in Guelph,
organized by the Federated
Women's Institutes of Ontario,
several common themes emerged
from the small group discussions.
They included a community with
no police, no politicians and no day
care facilities. Young and old
interacted in a chemical and
pollution free neighbourhood.
Another common theme was the
lack of private vehicles, with
inhabitants either walking or using
public transportation to get around.
Dr. Trevor Hancock, a world
renowned public health consultant
on sustainable communities, led the
61 participants through the process
of envisioning their dreams for
their communities.
Anne Bernhardt, co-ordinator of
Teen Esteem: The Lunch Bunch,
explained this program. It is
implemented by professional
women during their lunch breaks to
help girls in Grades 6-8 develop
their self-esteem and to increase
their knowledge of career oppor-
tunities. Bffnhardt noted that there
are over 7,000 job opportunities,
with about 30,000 different names,
but girls identify with only 26 well-

known possibilities.
The Executive Director of the
Waterloo-Wellington John Howard
Society, John Bilton, suggested
changes which could cut down the
incidence of crime in society. Some
of these changes include endorsing
positive television programming,-
promoting curricula on life skills
and encouraging parental involve-
ment in schools. He also suggested
the integration of public and private
housing, since studies show that
concentrated public housing may
focus people with problems in
small areas.
Seminar participants will be
returning to their communities
across Ontario to encourage
community development by
fostering partnerships, creating
networks and building community

correct' so they are now called
'Fisherfolk'.
He said, "They used to look to
God for help, now they look to
Ottawa."
"The church has used 'Fishers of
Men' as metaphor for discipleship.
It is not as popular as 'Shepherd' for
obvious reasons but it is still an
important metaphor for us today.
cFisherfolk are God's followers."
Rev. Huntley said, fisherfolk don't
look at the world through rose
coloured glasses. "They are realists,
looking at the world through Jesus'
eyes."
Following the sermon, the
Epiphany hymn The Race that
Long in Darkness was sung
followed by Commissioning and
Benediction.
