Last meiMh"sipete shot& tb t, with the first Canadian astrOnaat •
since 1984 en'beard, ntattettMri y diverted us from rho earthly knees
of eeneliwdoeal-mestlittg and economic-recessioniag. Dr. Rebels
Sender ileeorlbed rho -top ars the privilege and honour of ioueI g
ilse Barth whh my eyes, My 'heart, my mind and my soul. All bf yeu
were blerided4nto the eartthscape of blues, browns and greens, while 1
in ken part of a twinkle in the night sky ." 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."
