During kis message, the former moderator touched onihree issues. "About the Church, I dream about the kind of Church that existed 2,000 years ago. I dream of a Church as the Body of Christ which is deeply corn - mined to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour: He continued, "No Church that camouflages sin or takes a "tut tut" a tiu,de towards sin can meet the de- -mands of the time. The United Church has dealt with the -issue of ordaining homosexuals patiently and faithfully_:andhum anely. That means we are subject to error. In. gremarks,-president Dr. George Har- vey said, 'On : the Conference letterheads are the wards, "that all may be one". The events of the last few years . suggest we may • have forgotten those words. l believe we need again to openly identify this goal as one toward which we areal' striving." Harvey continued, "Too great an emphasis on indi- vidual rights and freedoms have made us forget our need to love and .care for each other. Even when we find it hard to likesomeone else,:weran struggle to recognize their talents, the gifts they have received from God, the gifts for us they bring. Lotus open our eyes anew to others, to care for the rich and poor, young and old, and move again towards the goal of unity."
