TheCanadian Statesman, Bowmanvilie, August 9,1978 7 Not as close as you think!r POmWLIO EPIDEMIC By Coby Veenstra Due to the news media's frequent reference to the "Reformed Community'" in its reports on the polio outbreak, there is, understandably, grave concern here in Bow- manville with its two large Christian Reformed Chur- ches. To put fears to rest it is necessary to clear up some misunderstanding. The Chris- tian Reformed and Reformed Churches, usuaily referred to as "Reformed Community" are flot what the media is discussing. In the Netherlands there is a tiny denomination which has about 15 congregations in Canada, none in this anea, called the "Netherlands Re- fonmed Church". This chunch bas a fataiistic approach to life and God. In thein belief, preventive measures are tink- ering with Divine Providence and are therefone sînful. Hence: no insurance, no immunization, etc. It is among these people that the epidemnic broke out- and it is their visitons to Canada on thein Canadian counterpants' visits to Hoiland that constitute a heaith hazard. Altbough the namne of the Netherlands Reformed Cburch is similan to that of what Is commoniy known as the "Reformed Community", it has no affiliation. The "Rteformed Commun- ity'" in the Bowmanville anea believes, as do most churches, that preventive means are God-given tools to presenve health and consequently is safely immunized. The polio epidemic is not as nean as is f eared becauseof an unfortunate error in commun- ication.
