MAR. 9 THRU TUES., MAR. 1 orld r� (wive ; . ay of ted in World Day Of Prayer Celebrated In :_vfleld By Helen Owen There was a congregation of over people to celebrate the World Day of Prayer at Trinity Anglican Church on March 4. This year it was the turn of the Anglican Church Women to act as hostesses and to welcome represen- tatives from the United Church, the Baptist Church, the Presbyterian Church and the Roman Catholic Church. The Theme of the service was New Persons in Christ' and the greeting calling everyone to prayer came from the Caribbean. The ser- vice comprised readings from the Bible, hymns and an Affirmation of Faith, beautifully expressed in the final section in which everyone participated. There was no doubt that this small community gathering captured the essence of the theme, as well as an awareness of the link in the chain of prayer which, on that particular day, was be- ing offered up by all denominations throughout the world. Mrs. Gillian Thomas, the wife of the Rev. Alun Thomas, gave the address, and outlined the history of the Caribbean, back before the days of Christopher Col- umbus. She told of the decimation of the original population of the islands due to disease, slavery said deplorable working condi- tions. As a result, she said, other races were introduced to the area, Africans, Asians, East Indians and Chinese, each of which brought their own traditions and ideologies. Colonialism brought Chris- tianity, but unfortunately it was directed at serving the needs of the colonials rather than the native population. However, in the 18th century the evangelical church made its appearance with a true mission, intended for all. Despite the efforts of dedicated men, slavery con- tinued and the life off the native people remained that of unmitigated harshness. Lack of support undermined the efforts of the few who sought to exert Christian in- fluences, and the situation was further complicated by conflict between Roman Catholic and Protestant fac- tions. Moravian came to work in the islands and by the late 1780's the Methodists had become well established, and then in 1825 Anglican I: ishops arrived in the area. The abolition of slavery saw an extension of Chris- tian effort by all the chur- ches, as well as the develop- ment of education, but there was still a lack of support to implement the work. However by 1870 local ministry had become a significant factor, par- ticularly among the East In- dian sugar workers. This was an area in which the Canadian Presbyterians were forerunners. In 1868 John Morton arrived in Trinidad and founded the Presbyterian Church, and Mrs. Thomas was able to link this with the present day since Mrs. Vivian Morton of Bayfield is his daughter-in- law. Moving on to the present day Mrs. Thomas said that the majority of East Indian Christians are Presbyterians, and their in- fluence has spread to other regions_ Likewise there has been a revival and growth in the Roman Catholic Church, although this has been hindered by political um -est. More recent developments included increasing Pentecostalism and the in- filtration off Holiness groups from the United States. Although today the church maintains its influences and still plays a part in the school system, secular schools have been established, and these too have their Youth for Christ groups. Concluding her survey of Christian witness, Mrs. Thomas said, the influence of the church and western life had played an indelible pari in the history of the Caribbean. As in other nar-ts of the world, its work today is in redirecting people with its message of hope and a new life. Those taking art in the service were: Lilian ••eakhust, !::etty 5arch, Margaret Chapman, Dorothy Cox, Ev Earl, Vera Gregg, Mrs. Holly, Helen Lindsay, Gladys Malcolm, Lorna Merrier, Elizabeth • i tts Barbara Reynolds, Mary Shepherd, Mrs. Tal et and Flo Youmatoff. i:.. yfield Garden Club The March meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club will revert to its usual time of 8 p.m., and will take place in the Municipal Building on March 14. The speaker will be Mrs. Jean McKee of Ben - miller and the subject of her talk will be 'Geraniums'. Brucefield UCW meet y Isabel Scott The general meeting of the Brucefield U.C.W. was held on March 1. Mrs. Mary Fotheringham and Mrs. Lorraine Moffat were in charge of the worship. Mrs. Fotheringham gave the meditation and Mrs. Moffat told of the work in the South Pacific Islands in the three different groups and showed slides of the work being done in Somoa, Vanuatu, and Fiji. Members were reminded of several coming events and of the Cancer Society tea on March 29th at Clinton Presbyterian Church, Clin- ton. IT'S TIME TO TALK BUSINESS!
