Bowmanville, January 13,1988 13 LETTER TO THE EDITOR Church Should Reveal Stand The Sunday shopping question raises many concerns, concerns, included in which would be that should Sunday Sunday become as any other day, family togetherness would indeed be adversely affected, while store employees employees who oppose the accepted day of rest being part of the work week, would be expected expected to perform their regular duties then as well. While there may likewise be further logical reasons for opposing Sunday shopping, more frequent oSjections on my part are those based on religious grounds among which would be that such is against that taught in the Church receipts for 1987 are available. Bible Study begins at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 20th at the Manse. Couples Club met Sunday evening at the home of Erla and Francis Jose. Court Whist was enjoyed by the sixteen attendants.

Bible, and also the tact that time now devoted to religious religious worship and church attendance attendance would be still further further diminished. With the entire issue of whether or not to permit Sunday shopping being thrust by the province on individual individual municipalities to decide, decide, it remains a political issue, 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 society at large. Their stock argument has been that they must not become involved in things political. The Sunday shopping debate debate by municipal councils across the province is not' merely anotner political issue, issue, - it is a Christian moral one as well. If ever the Protestant and Roman Catholic clergy must. speak out and take a tangible public stand, it is surely on the question of open shopping shopping on Sundays, whose im- lementation flagrantly strikes out at one of the very foundations of the Bible, whose teachings the churches churches are required to uphold dpr The same Bible asks that we be fearless in our endeavours endeavours to support its edicts, a mission in which we all too frequently are found wanting. wanting. However, if the church clergy and church leaders themselves are fearful in coming forward to support such basic, pertinent and far- reaching Biblical teachings, by giving needed direction when the most opportune time has presented itself, what hope really exists for the advance of the Christian church!
