COLBORNE CHRONICLE Thursday, April 1st, 1965 Five PRIMATE CALLS ON CHURCH TO BOLSTER DEVELOPMENT OF EMERGENT NATIONS Condescension and imperial istic overtones, particularly in the church's attitude, should have" no place in the Western approach to the developing nations of Africa and Asia, says Most Rev. H H. Clark, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. Canada has a vast reservoir of goodwill in these countries, said Archbishop Clark in commenting on his recent trip that took him to Jordan West Pakistan, dia, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Japan. "White superiority is dangerous and most blasphemous in relation to God," he said. " goodwill makes it all the n important that the Christian Church should support our j ernment in its international lationships, in maintaining national development and in its work for world peace." The Primate said the government should be urged to increase its foreign aid program. He believes that there is evidence that politicians are more ready to do this than the people they represent. "If Christians in Canada have been cool to foreign aid, they have been failing in their faith," he said. "The Christian Church in Asia is weak and sometimes ready and cfcdonial-minded. In saying this, however, I must not forget the magnificent example which would seem to contradi: the statement." On his tour, Archbishop Clark saw at first hand some of thi emergency projects which tin Canadian church is supporting through its Anglican World Mission Fund to which $850,000 was subscribed in 1964. The aid was gratefuly appreciated, he said, but on all sides he found a will to reciprocate commensurate with the people's ability. Canadians have to iearn that "mutual aid" for the church is a two-way street. He said the Christian Church, and the Anglican Church of Canada in particular, must not be interested in church activities only, but rather in all the effort of the young nations to develop a good life for their peoples. "This means we must contim to be interested in educational and medical services despite the danger of exhausting our resources i nthe upkeep of thenec essary institutions. It means alsc concern for agriculture, technical training and industrial problems to be expressed in co-operation with the Christian church already there." The Primate said that Africa and Asia are religious in a sense not evident in Europe and Amer. ica. fn Asia, especially the great of Me iCfWRCHES UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA COLBORNE UNITED CHURCH Organist and Choir Leader: Mrs. W.

"The task of the Christian church in such a situation is ft) meet the other yorld religions in creative encounter, seeking to understand," Archbishop Ciark said. "It must always show full respect without giving up its conviction of the absolute decisiveness of the Christian revela- "When, in Asia, the young intellectual finds himself unable to accept the religion of his fathers he does not have that sense of release that sometimes our young people seem to experience. This means that the church in its work in Asia finds a country friendly to religion." The Primate said that as he travelled about the need for church union was borne in on "We must never forget the blessings God was able to give the Christian church simply because of the divisions of the past. Truths were preserved which in a wholly united church might have been .forgotten. Now the situation has changed. The church cannot do the job to which God is calling it in the latter part of the 20th century while it remains divided. We dare not wait until we feel like uniting. Union must be sought on a sound basis with true theological care, but it must come in obedience to God's call, and not merely because we feel more friendly to some other church." The archbishop expressed admiration for the way the emerging nations were tackling their almost insoluble problems. He said no one should underestimate the threat to peace or the magnitude of the problems of population explosion and emergence in to the industrial era. Prayer.

Of particular interest to the group were the words he gave on the Liturgical reform presently being experienced within the Church of Rome. Here it was noted that this phenomenon is not peculiar to the Roman Catholic Church, but is also being experienced in other churches of the world, though not yet wide'y in Canada. The present Vatican Council has/ involved all Christians in serious thinking about the ways of expressing our Christian faith today, not only in our ways flf worship but in our traditional formulas and our whole thinking about God and the way He relates to His world.
