Reception following to MONDAY, JULY 3rd © not By the Bok by David S. Daniels My passion to write a column on ethics from a biblical perspective was born on November 14, 1991. That was the day my congregation mailed a booklet entitled The Facts of Life to 4025 Homes in Port Perry and Prince Albert. The booklet, which presented the facts surrounding abortion, was our way of publicly . standing against this moral disaster reipaging across this country. 0 ' The cover letter mailed with the booklet said in part: "We recognize this is an emotional issue with sincere convictions held by those on both sides of the question: While we have no desire to inflame emotions further, we do believe many have had opportunity to personally reflect on what actually occurs in an abortion...The enclosed booklet is our way of quietly and unobtrusively presenting a ge we believe needs to be Quinton's d * Strawberry, Salad, Ham Supper at Valentia United Church, 5 PM til all served, Adults $8.00, Children under 12 - $4.00; Preschoolers Free WEDNESDAY, JULY 5th * Euchre at the Latcham Centre, 1.30 PM FRIDAY, JULY 7th * Town Hall 1873 Summer Concert Series presents 'Colleen Peterson - one of Canada's finest country & folk artists', 8 PM. * St. Mary's Anglican Church Strawberry & Salad Supper, Sunderland, 4:30 * Ontario County Twilight Meeting at Shadyway Farms (Jibb's), RR4, = Sunderland.

We sincerely believe that all human life is sacred. It is a gift from God to be welcomed and nurtured. We cannot escape the conclusion that abortion kills children." As the community reacted, I realized we had touched a nerve in the collective conscience of the people. I kept a record of nses believing there was an important message in them for me. From approximately fifteen letters to the editors of our local ' papers, ten supported the stand against abortion. Out of twenty- nine personal conversations, I found nineteen were in agreement with the position taken. Most of the personal letters I received were supportive. One particularly encouraging response was that of Port Perry resident Rosemary Connell. In a two-day period she collected several hundred signatures from area people expressing support for our pro- life position. Interestingly, only two area churches expressed support; one by way of a phone call, and the other by means of an official letter from the congregation followed by a statement on their church sign. 4 What was the message I saw in these responses? Many people in the community are looking for 'To be a moral preservative balanced moral guidance on the ethical issues of our day. As a clergyman in this community I have a two-fold responsibility: to nurture my own congregation and to provide public moral guidance on issues of significant impact in the community. I believe this responsibility is in keeping with that expected of a follower of Jesus Chrjst. He said that his followers were "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world" (Matthew 5:13-14). Since salt was used as a preservative in the first century, Jesus was calling his followers to act as a moral preservative in society. The metaphor of light indicates that Christ's followers are to be seen in the community: seen as those who stand for moral righteousness. And so | desire to do my part in calling our society to moral righteousness.
