THE EDITOR,
This year marks the 50th anniver-
sary of the Maitland Valley
Conservation (MVCA). We're cele-
brating five decades of conservation
success. The conservation authority
is a community-based organization
dedicated to helping municipalities,
community groups and landowners
to preserve, restore and protect the
environmental health of rivers,
forests and other natural areas.
As chair of the MVCA I am
pleased to invite watershed residents
to participate in our upcoming
anniversary celebrations. On Aug. 15
we'll be hosting a bus tour of the
watershed highlighting innovative
conservation services. Tour stops
will include several water quality
initiatives, a look at the Listowel
conduit and a flood forecasting sta-
tion, and visits to several
Conservation areas. Come and see
some of our past accomplishments

accomplishments. The publication
will also highlight the Maitland
Watershed Partnerships, an ongoing
environmental initiative.

THE EDITOR,
It was with a great measure of dis-
tress that I read the letter proposing
yet another congregation of the
Christian Church in the Blyth-
Wingham-Brussels area. In a time
when the scandal of Christian divi-
sion is turning the gospel into a
laughingsiock among those who dis-
believe, to suggest that yet another
church is needed seems to be the
height of foolishness.
The marks of the congregation are
reported to be that it is: I. Christ cen-
tred. 2. Bible-believing. 3.
Fellowship friendly. 4. Growth
geared.
Are we seriously to believe that the
proponents of such a new congrega-
tion believe that there is no local con-
gregation which currently exhibits
these characteristics? Surely such
self-serving arrogance is the very
opposite of the meaning of Christ's
teaching ? Did He not express the
desire that Christians should be one,
as He and the Father are one?
Division, sectarianism and fragmen-
tation are the enemies of the gospel
which we profess to believe.
