_--.-.•...,.- BLYTH - Rev. Patricia N is the
new rector of the Anglican Pa .1: ofTrinity
Church in Blyth, St. Mark' Au)5urn and
St. John's in Brussels.
Rev. Nunn grew up in a Christian family
which was very involved in the church. "My
family has been very supportive," she said.
She said the decision to become a
reverend came very early in life, when she
was still in her teens.
While in university she became interested
in Corrections, but she decided she did not
want to follow studies, t andrse. I
went back to
theology I felt the calling to
become a priest," she said.
To become an Anglican minister, she ex-
plained, she had to have an undergraduate
degree. She got hers with a major in
religious studies, and a minor in sociology.
After graduating from university, and
spending three years in the rectory, she was
ordained a priest in December of 1984.
She served the, parish of Chatsworth,
Desboro, Holland Centre and Walter's Falls
for 23 months before taking over for Rev.
Robin Lyons in this area.
Although this is the 10th anniversary of
having women ordained to the Anglican
priesthood, Rev. Nunn said that it ig 'till an

issue to some people.
"People's initial response is, 'What is a

priest going
lookto she
Next comes,'Wht are we goingtoscall
you?'" -
By and large though, she said, people
have been responsive and supportative. '`So
far people have been very warm and
genuine."
To prove this point, the congregation
welcomed Rev. Nunn into the community
with a special celebration, after a ceremony
at-
tendedin the church, on May 8. Over the welcoming -in celebration peopler the
reverend.
"It is interesting to talk to older women
who would have tried to do this if they had
the chance," Rev. Nunn said. Instead these
women became involved with other ways to
assist the church, she explained.
"Everyone knows that women are the
backbone in any congregation. All the sup-
port systems such as fund raising and ban-
quets are run by women," the reverend
said, "but much of the decision making is
made by men. I encourage women to
and to
their say in where the money goes,
take an active part in deciding."
encourages women to learn more about the
role of women in the Bible, and to hear their
stories, as many of the stories are not taught
in Sunday school or in church,
Rev. Nunn is one of approximately 150
female reverends in Canada, but there are
still areas in Canada that do not ordain
women, she said. However, she pointed out,
"Huron was one of the first diocese to ordain
women."
She feels it is both exciting and scary to be
a female reverend as many women in all
age groups approach her. "I seem to be car-
rying all of their hopes; they believe it to be
right, and they want to affirm that," she
said. "It can be an affirming push towards
hanging in there."
There is only one disadvantage. she sees
with having to be the reverend for three
parishes, and this is that she does not have
enough time to interract with the church
members after services. To combat this
problem she has cut services by five or 10
minutes to allow time afterwards.
"It would be like being invited for dinner,
arriving two minutes before, eating, then
leaving," she said, if services were not cut.

tourism
Overall provincial
Representatives of the tourist industry
have been asked by the Ontario government
to help shape an overall provincial tourism
strategy.
A fact-finding team from the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation was in Dryden on
Apr. 29, for a day long working session with
industry representatives and municipal of-
ficials to develop an Ontario tourism
strategy that recognizes the special re-
quirements of all regions. The results of the
work sessions will be made public in the fall.
A work session will be held today (May 21)
and tomorrow in London at the Holiday Inn
et
on King Stre.
The consultations, being held in 16 com-
munities across the province, are the result.
of a commitment , made by Tourism and
Recreation Minister John Eakins to conduct
a review of all ministry tourism programs
to ensure maximum effectiveness and try to
open up the policy development process to
members of the industry.
"Our future directions, policies and pro-
grams must incorporate the knowledge and
goals of those working in the industry,"
Eakins said.
• Who is better in touch with the. pulse of
tourism in this province than the operators
and associations who deal with the public?
Tell us the strategy and the policies will fall
out of it."
In order to generate a discussion on a
broad range of issues, a questionnaire is be-
ing distributed to prospective participants
and the responses will serve as a guide for
the sessions. The results of the 4.6 working
sessions will be summarized in a report to
the ministry and will be made public in the
fall.
