Politicians explain their beliefs Judge Pieroni, a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, said, "If by religious commitment, we mean devotion of talent to a cause, we have a duty to use the gifts God has given to us. If by religion, we mean our relationship to God, and if we're created in the image of God, ought we not apply the same moral standards to ourselves as to our The Judge added: "No doubt any of us could have easier, more comfortable lives if we retired from public life, but this would not do.

2 election during an Informal panel discussion at First Presbyterian Church. The Wednesday discussion, sponsored by the Delaware County Ministerial Association, included panelists U.S. Rep. Phil Sharp, Superior Court 1 Judge Mario Pieroni, Precinct Committeeman and School Board Member Hurley Goodall and Alan Wilson, candidate for County Court 1 Judge. In explaining his religious commitments, Wilson, a member of St.

Andrew Presbyterian Church, said: "My Christian commitment Is partly responsible for my Interest In politics and serving in public Service to others is the best kind of life people can live. A person in public life Is making a commitment in serving others." Sharp, a member of College Avenue United Methodist Church, said he was skeptical of politicians who make religious claims during election years, and. although there is a clear-cut separation of church and state, he feit there Is still a link between the Importance of an Individual and that person's humility. A member of Chapel AME Church, Goodall said, "Any Christian commitment should be felt deeply and shown in action rather than professed. My commitment.

Is to leave my community and the world In better shape than I found It." SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1974 force to offer It (our talent to the community." The politicians then turned the tables on ministers attending the panel discussion and breakfast They asked them to encourage congregations to vote In the November election. Wilson said. "It's wrong In many cases for ministers to say who you should vote for, but you have an obligation to encourage people to make their own decisions not as a denomination but as people." Sharp added, to encourage participation In the public arena that's what it's all about. It is fundamental that people decide to find out what their values are. When asked how politicians deal religiously with the stress of their jobs, Judge Pieroni said, "If I compromised myself In any way It would disturb my sleep." Pleronl said he had learned to live with the fact that bis decisions In court matters often upset some persons.

In response to the same questions about stress, Goodall said, "You find out all you can about an Issue and make the decision that will benefit the most people." Both Goodall and Sharp said a good home life helps with stress from the Job. Sharp commented that persons In politics must "have enough Internal commitment." The Congressman said Watergate had actually made lives of Washington politicians easier because It has caused lobbyists and interest groups "to toe the line. It put people on their toes," Wal ta. mmtm tnatf, H0ITI exotca of hist U) Era tialHl C. lUMtaalkak.

Last Friday in California the Governor signed the "Right to Die Bill" which assures the right to choose to not be kept alive by mechanical means. The Quintan case was the tip of the Iceberg. In citing references to abortion I rish being dismissed as harping on a traditional "Catholic" position. I am doing that. But, I really want to call attention to the broader thrusts to human life and free choice, of which abortion Is only a small part.

Biological technology Is reaching the point where the forms of human reproduction and life Itself can be manipulated. It Includes new forms of genetic engineering, artificial insemination, cloning (zeroxlng of people). cultural processes of our day. We need to help society to sort out the really good from the really dangerous concepts. If we as Christians have any contribution to humanity in this age it would seem to be our defense of the dignity and freedom of the human person not only for today but for ages to come.

I have to trust to the message itself. Throughout the country this is Respect Life Week. Our attention Is being focused on the bio-' logical technology that is not only promising a longer and a better life but it Is likewise posing a threat to the freedom of choice in humans. The greatness of the early Christian church was in the fact that It stood In opposition to the society of its day. It was not afraid to stand up and be counted.

It stood for the virtues of love, Church Wings of Deliverance Tabernacle Is conducting a Sunday School teacher training seminar from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Oct. 23.

The technology was developed with good Intention but the consequences can be both frightening and far reaching. In the Judlac-Chris-tian contest mankind Is seen as having "dominion over the earth." Such dominion implies responsibility. Persons, can only act responsibly when they are fully informed and have free will. Today most of us are not fully Informed about the technology of our day. Some of the technology threatens to take away our free choice.

Unless we become Involved in the decision-making today we may no longer be able to act responsibly as Individuals. To protect the very nature of the human person we, as Christians, need to become Involved In the scientific, legal, legislative and Roger Douglas of Van Buren will be guest speaker at the 2 m. service.

There are many areas of our life which may soon be legislated for us and we need to be aware of the values at stake. The adventures of Startreck and "1984" seem far removed in time. They are not. The speed of life Is quickening. In 1973 the Supreme Court determined that an unborn child Is not a human for several weeks, and therefore, has no legal rights Including the right to life.

This year the Supreme Court said that a girl of 13 years of age could have an abortion without her parents consent. Consider the fact she could not have her tonsils removed without their consent!
