and perceptive talk, Bishop Victor-
ia Matthews, from the Diocese of
Toronto, urged those who attended

Anglican Church in Grand Bend, to
work for renewal and cooperation
between community and church.
The dinner, attended by 100 people
from Grand Bend and neighboring
communities, was held on Novem-
ber 21 at Oakwood Inn.
Bishop Matthews spoke about the
church and the wider community
seeing both as "Communities of
Memory and Communities of
The Rev. Fay M. Patterson, The Right Rev. Victoria Matthews

"These
advertisers
are happy
to help
you,,
Hope."
Both, she feels, can offer hopeful
visions as the problems produced
by social and political and cultural
change are confronted. She illus-
trated the ways in which very di-
verse communities respond to
change. The Convent of the Gray
Nuns in Montreal is coping with
significant down -sizing, for exam-
ple. Yale University has been work-
ing with the city of New Haven in
finding a new direction. Yale staff
and students offer their talents to
help solve problems of poor hous-
ing, crime, racism, and social de-
cline. Bishop Matthews reminded
her audience that is is not enough
to be talented and bright; it is ser-
vice that makes the difference in
both the life of the community and
in the lives of those who serve.
In comments directed toward the
church the Bishop hoped that the
church could move beyond the
fears imposed by change and by de-
clining membership. Fear, she said,
creates the danger of paralysis.
React less hesitantly to the chang-
ing times, she urged the church.
The wider community finds itself
coping with the problems of
change; as well, fears of crime, vio-
lence, increasing social mobility
and a growing regionalism, create a
declining sense of identity in many
communities. The provision of spe-
cial services to the young, the old,
and other groups tend to be offered
in isolation so that there is an ab-
sence of inter -generational contact
which adds another social problem.
Bishop Matthews addressed the
potential for an improved and ex-
panded interface between church
and the community. The church,
she said, must minister to all and
not be an enclosed institution look-
ing inward. The church offers hope
and a sense of meaning which
should be shared with the wider
community. She also reminded the
audience to examine the question,
"Who isn't welcome in our midst'?"
There are barriers, which both the
church and the wider community,
need to dismantle; the very essence
of community is openness and in-
clusivity.
The Bishop answered a number
of questions addressing moral, so-
cial, and political issues. In the cur-
rent controversial political climate
in Ontario she offers the church as
a co-operative, serving, helpful
agency in addressing the challenges
posed by the changes affecting the
province.
Bishop Matthews provided a
message of optimism, hope and
perceptiveness. She was introduced
by the Rector of St. John's. The
Rev. Fay Patterson, Charles Baxter
of St. John's was the organizer and
master of ceremonies for the eve-
ning which was an attempt to pro-
vide an interface between the
church and the wider community.
