"• (Staff Photo) Presbytery resolves against Sunday shopping and sports Sunday Shopping, a shortage of nursing homes, and organized sports on Sunday, were topics of resolutions passed by Huron, Perth Presbytery at a recent meeting in Main St. United 'Church, Mitchell. The Church In Society Committee, convened by Rev. John Davies of Parkview United Church, Stratford, drafted the resolutions which Presbytery then adopted. . The resolution on Sunday Ob- servance arose due to - the in- crease in the number of super- `markets and other retail outlets that are violating the "Lord's `Day Act." Members thus "re- affirmed their belief in. Sunday'as a common day of rest, a ;support legislation that would implement a more restricted Sunday"t as' outlined in Qptton No'11 of the,Qn tari.o ,Law ,Reform, Commission. Such legislation would be, more secular than religious, be uni- form across the Province and would prohibit all forms of selling and employment on Sunday, ex- cept iri certain clearly defined situations. Members were asked to take this resolution back - to their local congregations and have them urge the Provincial Government to *enact such legislat ion. Organized sports, and in par ticular'ockey leagues, practices and tournaments, are more and more conflicting with the Sunday activities of Churches. All con- gregations were thus urged to "exercise their influence in limit- ing: the promotion of (organized sports) in their communities . on 4 , Sunday mornings where at all practical, and to accept their res- ponsibility . for involving their children in worship and Christman Education, and other areas of the churches' life." The Committee also noted that there is a serious shortage of nursing home accommodation in. Huron and Perth Counties, for chronic paliencs and senior 'citi- zens. A task force will be set Up to study needs in this areaand re- port at the next meeting in April.
