The readers write
Dear Sir;
The Sunday shopping question
raises many concerns, included in
which would be that should Sunday
become as any other day, family to-
getherness would indeed be adverse-
ly affected, -while store employees -
who oppose the accepted day of rest
being part of the work week, would
be expected to perform their regular -
duties then as well.
While there may likewise be fur-
ther logical reasons for opposing
Sunday shopping, more fervent ob-
jections on my part are those based
on religious grounds among which
would be that such is against that
taught in the Bible, and also the
fact that timenow devoted to relig-
ious worship and church attendance
would be still further diminished.
With the entire issue of whether
or not to permit Sunday shopping
being thrust by the province on in-
dividual municipalities to decide, it
remains a political issue, - but one
with a very significant difference
and implication.
Churches, in general terms, have
too often, by not speaking out
washed their hands on many issues,
where a stand taken by the church
could have brought inestimable
benefit in a Christian sense to soci-
ety at large. "Their stock argument
has been that they must not be-
come involved -in things political.
The Sunday stropping debate by
municipal councils across the prov-
ince is not merely another p0Iitical
issue, - itis a C'htistian-mural one
as well.
If ever the Protestant and Roman
Catholic Clirgy must speak out and
take a tangible public stand, it is
surely on the question of open
shopping 00 Sundays, whose im-
plementation flagrantly strikes out
at one of the very foundations of
the Bible, whose teachings the
churches are required to uphold and
protect.
The same Bible asks that we be
fearless in our endeavours to sup-
port its edicts, a mission in which
we all too frequently are found
wanting.
However, if the church clergy and -
church leaders themselves are fear-
ful"in coming forward to support
such basic, pertinent and far-
reaching Biblical teachings, by giv-
ing needed direction when the most
opportune time has presented itself,
what hope really exists for the ad-
vance of the Christian church!
