Church is
changing
once a male institution
where men were the leaders
and decision -makers and
women the worshippers and
servants. the church is
changing under pressure
from Christian feminists ac-
cording to an article in the
March issue of The United
Church Observer.
'Ten or 15 years ago,
church women seemed to be
perfectly happy catering the
suppers. leading Expiorers
and singing about God's love
for man... writes Patricia
Clarke. contributing editor.
"Now some of them want to
be on the finance com-
mittee. or complain to the
minister that the hymns are
sexist or even wonder
whether 'god' might be
'goddess'.
Some of those changes are
like putting a stick of
dynamite in the middle of
the church... admits one
feminist.
Through their faith, Chris-
tian feminists have come to
see both women and men as
equally valuable and impor-
tant. both created in God's
image.
Now they are working to
change the structures of the
church to reflect this equali-
ty. They want the church's
theology to be based on the
female experience as well as
male. They want sexist
language removed from
hymn and service books.
(Already a committee is at
work to do that. ) And they
talk about a female image of
God.
But the feminists are in
the minority and they face
strong opposition. Some
Christians interpret the Bi-
ble to say that women should
be silent. subservient and at
home. Some resent the
changes that threaten power
and security. A few un-
consciously reflect ancient
Biblical ideas of women as
evil and unclean. To
feminists. the chur 't is "one
of the last institutions trying
to lock its women into
crippling cages".
For this reason. some
have left the church, but a
growing number are deter-
mined to stay. Mrs. Clarke
says.
"People ask me how I can
remain in an institution that
is so male -oriented, whose
God is so male," says Mary
Connor of United Church
national staff. "I reply that
is not how God is, but how
we have presented Gnd.

Busy time at Centennial
agine a foggy, misty, forest
scene while the orchestra
played Nocturne, from Mid-
summer Night's Dream. The
conductor suggested that we
could almost hear fairies
dancing while the orchestra
played Scherzo a very
energetic number. The
number I enjoyed most was
a -"Collection of Songs of the
Seventies" I think we were
very fortunate to have these
professional musicians put
on a concert for students in
our area.

The Grade eight students
of Huron Centennial School
have just completed a series
of curling classes at
Vanastra Curling Club. Each
class had four sessions of
curling and all students are
now familiar with the curl-
ing jargon and the rules of
the game. Both boys and
girls have improved their
sweeping and delivery of
curling stones.
Some have practised the
frustrating work of skipping
a team and all have enjoyed
the competition and sport of
the game. No one seemed to
mind the cold, for each per-
son was busy sweeping rocks
to help the team win.
Hopefully many of us will
continue to enjoy this great
sport in the years to come.
February has been a busy
month at Huron Centennial.
Every Monday evening
adults enjoy volleyball.
There is a good attendance.

many of the students of

February 23rd. Wright Photo
Co. were behind the camera

The suspense movie
"Candleshoe" brought a
good crowd on Friday,
February 20.
All classes enjoyed the
home baking, of cookies,
cupcakes and candy which
were on sale in the front hall
February 25.
Not so greatly enjoyed,
but very necessary, just the
same, were the immunization
shots and TB skin tests given
on Wednesday morning.
A professional theatrical
group "Pepi" Puppet
Theatre presented the
puppet play "Hensall and
Gretel" to our Kindergarten
to Grade 4 classes. The
drama and action gripped
the audience throughout the
performance.
Tuesday. February 17, the
students of Grade 6 and the
Ukulele Group of Huron
Centennial went to the
Seaforth District High
School to hear the London

form. We were treated to an

struments we heard were
