Zimbabwe's Liberation Front was expressed by the Division of World Outreach and Rev. Len Harbour at Huron -Perth Pres- bytery of the United Church of Canada. The session was held at Dungannon United Church last week. The reaction was to what was described as' an tnfavorably biased interview on CTV's W5. Rev. Harbour, executive secre- tary of London Conference said that the church makes a serious attempt to see that its gifts get to the right people. This is done through the church rather than governments. The Conference statement says that people need to realize that the church and every other chari- table body always runs the risk of having its, compassionate gifts abused. The $85,000 gift, $3,800 from the United Church, was to be used for a food, health, social educational and agricultural pro- gram. It coincided with news of guerilla activity. The Liberation Front, among others, was blamed. Presbytery's Division of World Outreach indicated that the World Council of Churches has no reason to believethat the grant did not go for its intended pur- pose.
