Bishops take stand on El Salvador ~

CHARLOTTETOWN
(CP) — The church has
largely abdicated Its
traditional responsibility to
the poor and oppressed,
‘ says the president of the
Atlantic School of Theology
in Hallfax.-.— -
“We've been working

“with heavenly things in the

past as if we had nothing to
do with earth,’ Dr. Russell
. Hatton said in an interview.
Hatton espouses political

action and other quests for-

social justice by the church,

_ baying religious institutions

have become ‘“‘the religion
of the established order” —
a defender of what should be

* questioned ‘and challenged.’

. He said thealogy schools
should first send ‘students
‘out into a non-religious
environment for. a first-
hand took at social
problems on which

_ theological reflection and

pastoral direction can later
be based.

‘TORONTO (CP) —. The
executive general council of
the United Church of
Canada meeting in Toronto
recently sent a telegram {o

_ bishop Rivera Y.Damas in
San Salvador,

e year ago the same
executive, meeting in
Mississauga west of
Toronto, sent a telegram
expressing dismay and
horror at the ‘murder of
Archbishop Romero.

‘The latest telegram
laments the on-going
martyrdom of thousands of
Salvadorans and reaffirms
the church's solidarity with
the Salvadoran people who
are struggling for justice for
the poor and oppressed.

TORONTO (CP) — Con-
troversy generated by
bishops who have been
critical about. this. year’s

Atiglican World's” Day. u..

Prayer service continues to
be heard throughout the

At least 11 bishops issued
statements or letters to the

~ lergy and laity saying that

the service was seriously
deficient or sub-Christian

While everyone knows
that lead can kill, it is not 80
well known that lead can
also cause illness or death i in
more subtle ways.

Lead that is consumed
through the air you breathe
or the things you eat can
only be disposed of by the
bedy in the most
Microscopic amounts, If
you consume more than
your body can dispose of, :
you could become a victim
of lead poisoning. For this
reason, government
‘agencies have been

- eystematically seeking out

and eliminating, where
possible, sources of lead
that might be consumed.
Because babies have a
natural tendency to chew on
almost anything within
their grasp, the use of
