Pardon my prejndiee but 1 did not expect-suchpoetic words from a scientist. -Ask a group of -scientists about space and their answers would &- pend on their perspective. A life-support expert might look at ipaee as a harsh environment capable of killing a human being in seconds. A neurologist; liike-Bonder-, -might see a more isuhtic,-bbftio leltsillin- gerous environment, that could cause long -terns health problems. A Materials scientist might sec space as a resource that should -be ex- ploited to make better drugs and more efficient micro -chips. A com- munication expert might sec space as the perfect "high k " on which to place a relay tower. 1 always liked Capt. J.T. rr 's descrip- •uon: "Space, the final fmntier." The complexity of space travel is no less challenging than the task of reading and watching the news, and trying to understand the poli- --ticsand thepeople-oi the -Middle East. This past week 1 spoke with a former classmate of mine, the Rev. Douglas Du Charme. For seven years Du Charme has been the liai- son person between the Middle East Council of Churches and the Ca- nadian Council of Churches. (This ecumenical appointment has been particularly supported by the Anglican, Presbyterian and United Churches.) Du Charme confirmed a perception rd had fir some time. Answer- ing-ffity questions about-HheMiddle -East -depends on your perspec- uvc. To a Palestinian born and raised in a refugee camp - and giving birth and raising her own children in the same camp - the Middle East is a place, but not a home. To an Israeli the Middle East is a promised land placed in the midst of hostile enemies. To the North American the Middle East is a stereotype - a desert land dotted with oil derricks, camels and mosques. To the arms suppliers the Middle East is a gold mine of opportunities and sales. (In the sixteen months after the Persian Gulf War every Mid -East country involved. with the obvious exception of Iraq, has re -armed itself.) And to Jews, Chns- uans and Moslems the Middle East is a Holy Land. For Du Charme the Middle East is wt)erc the "mission' of the Church first began. Part of the good news the Church was spreading was, "Since Ciod loved us so much, we also ought to love one an- other." (1 John 4:11) How can a part of the world where there is so much hat^ accept such a simple truth'' 1t was sad, but no surprise, to hear m mid say he doesn't know the answer to that question. -Be. tie writer of I John made a quite clear: if you claim to love God - but hate your neighbour - you are a liar. 1 know it is hard for us to sex the Jew, the Palestinian, the Iraqi, the Egyptian, the Saudi, and the rest of the people in the Middle East as our neighbours. But if they were our neighbours my fnend is sure we would not be so afraid of thein. And if we were not afraid of them - we might learn to care about them. It's all a mauer of perspective, isn't it'' Exeter famine .a success EXETER - This month partici- pants from the Exeter area and across Canada went hungry to help make World Vision's 30 Hour Fa- mine a success. Over 100,000 Ca- nadians took pan in the event to raise funds for the fight against world hunger. "We have already started receiv- ing -money from . Ute groups that participated. We are encouraging groups to send their money in as soon as possible. Then it can help feed people in countries such as Brazil, Thailand and Mozambique," says President Don Scott of World Vision Canada in Mississauga. "Based on last year's success and the number of people who regis- tered to participate this year, we ex- pect to raise $2.4 million from the event." Most of the 2,100 groups who participated in the Famine took pan this month. Some groups will be concluding the Famine in the next ' few months. Fran each of the provinces, the student who raised the most funds will be eligible to become one of four young people to join a study tour to Thailand this summer. The trip will be provided by a corporate donor. "We arc grateful to all the people who wok part or sponsored partici- pants," says Scott. "They have shown that Canadians care enough to make a difference in the lives of hungry people around the world."
