United church supports bill to outlaw child pornography A private members Bill to amend the Criminal Code's definition of pornography received unanimous support at the recent meeting of the Executive of the United Church's Hamilton Con- ference. The Bill, which passed first reading in the 30th session of Parliament, seeks to outlaw child pornography and clearly defines the term "obscene". Lack of a specific. definition has recently made it difficult ,for Canadian courts to register convictions against the rising tide of sex - oriented publications and films. Bill C-207, an Action to amend the Criminal Code on pornography, was presented by James A. McGrath (PC) MP for St. John's East. Dr. George D. Young of Paris Ontario, President of Hamilton Conference, said there were two main reasons for supporting the new' legislation. "The current saturation of our society with pornography is an attack on basic human values. We are particularly concerned about the apparent exploitation of children in certain publications." Supporting Mr. McGrath's initiative was ". . . an ef- fective way for the Chinch to speak out for healthier at- titudes towards sexuality," he said. Church members are being encouraged to write their Members of Parliament, expressing support for the Bill. Hamilton Conference represents more than 300 congregations of the United Church of Canada froth the Niagara Valley to the Bruce Peninsula. Many area .residents are decorating their homes for Christmas this year and many toot( advantage of a decent day last Saturday to do so. Here Ed and Ida Godkin of Rattenbury Street in Clinton ready their decorations.

Clintonian senior citizens hold dinner the Cayman Island.. He -pointed out that the Church in the Caribbean is growing and the general trend is quite different from the ex- periences in North America where many churches are having some struggles. The Presbytetry ` heard a report from the seminar on "New directions for the rural church" which was held in Cedar Gler November 7,to 9. The attitude was one of great • enthusiasm and a new range of possibilities for the churches of small mem- bership. Among the possibilities were the clustering of small churches with some shared leadership; "tent maker" ministry - in which the minister works part time at a secular oc- cupation; and the additional training of lay leadership. The Presbytery was in- formed that'the Mission and Service Fund givings are down across the Church as a whole and • that there is a possibility of many wor- thwhile projects being cut out if the objective for 1977 is not reached. Congregations were encouraged to make a special drive for M and S at the time of their White Gift Service.
