The Ottawa Citizen from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada • 122

H6 THE OTTAWA CITIZEN SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1989 Religion Peaceful opposition to annual arms sale mounting he largest weapons exhibition and sale ever held in Canada will take place in Ottawa at Lansdowne Park May 23-25. It is I REV. R.G. MacNEIL Citizen if correspondent probably be here again. Serious-minded people are struck by the inconsistency of Canada not accepting nuclear weapons but selling components to other countries.

Nuclear devastation knows no frontiers. On Saturday, May 6, protesters against ARMX89 will "Walk Around The World for Peace," beginning at 10.30 a.m. at Elgin and Lewis Streets and hear Philip Berrigan, an outspoken anti-war activist, at Saint-Paul University at 7.30 p.m. Protest activities will include a public inquiry at Saint-aul's on May 20 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Peace activists will rally at Confederation Park and hold a people's dinner outside the location of the ARMX89 Gala Dinner on May 22. Information may be obtained from 231-3076. (Father MacNeil is a Catholic priest working in West Quebec and the Canadian Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. One of these organizations, the Alliance for Non-Violent Action, has initiated a campaign to force Baxter Pub-. lishing to reveal who is coming to Canada for the arms sale.

Ken Hancock, an ANVA spokesman, said it will base its challenge on Bill C-71, the Crimes Against Humanity bill passed in September, 1987. Some people invited may not be legally eligible to enter Canada. Canadian Defence Quarterly, a Baxter publication, admits that representatives from countries which violate human rights, according to Amnesty International Chile, South Korea and Taiwan were here at ARMX87. Canadian companies represented at this sale also sold military equipment to hu man rights abusers listed by Amnesty International. In this way Canada is contributing to oppression which creates refugees now being accepted by Canada for humanitarian reasons.

This sale to foreign countries has 160 Canadian arms companies exhibiting as well as 100 arms manufacturers from 13 other countries. They include the U.S., China, Israel, France, West Germany and the United Kingdom. The arms sale also comes just after Canada accepted the Nobel Peace Prize jointly with other countries sharing a peace keeping role in troubled locations. Arms sold in Ottawa can menace Canadian peacekeepers abroad. Even though Canada does not have nuclear weapons, companies supplying components for nuclear weapons were well represented at ARMX87 and will called ARMX89.

Peaceful people are concerned about the lack of information available to the general public about this government-sponsored event. They are forming coalitions to protest Canada's involvement in the international arms trade. An article in the Catholic New Times of March 5 from Toronto, written by Matthew Behrens, raises the question that human rights violators from countries around the world may be coming here to purchase arms. They make this claim because Baxter Publishing, organizing the arms sale under a federal government contract, will not release the list of those invited, saying only that 20,000 invitations have been issued to the "major players of the Western world's arms trade." To date 82 local, provincial and national organizations representing a cross-section of concerned people have joined a coalition to protest ARMX89. The long list includes Lawyers for Social Responsibility, Nurses for Social Responsibility, Oxfam Canada, The Student Christian Movement at six universities, veterans against Nuclear Arms, Ottawa Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace of Man's surgical skills a gift to thousands Christians have right to lobby too, says MP the Helen Keller International Award for worldwide contributions to alleviate blindness, developed what a public relations firm might call a comprehensive eye-care clinic at Taxila.

He calls it an assembly line. After registration and eye ex UNITED I By Michael Hirsley Chicago Tribune CHICAGO His two brothers became preachers, and his sister married a preacher. Norval Christy, the self-described black sheep of the family, became a doctor. But Dr. Christy is obviously comfortable with his career choice.

He feels he made it the way God wanted. Although he trained in ophthalmology at Harvard University and he used those skills to restore eyesight to more than 100,000 patients, his salary was always five figures, lower half. He has no expensive hobbies. And he and his wife, Dorothy, don't even own a home. That is because, beginning in 1947 with what was supposed to be a six-month assignment to help refugees of the bloody conflict that divided India and Pakistan, the Christys made a 40-year commitment to treat blind people in Pakistan as missionaries with the Presbyterian Church.

They raised five children there. "When I was 15, someone told me that anything you happen to have is God's gift to you, and if PRESBYTERIAN Southminster United Bank St. Rideau Canal Pastoral Team REV. JAN CRAIG. REV.

"My opinion was that my skill as an eye surgeon was available for God's use. When my church wanted to send me overseas, and I knew the need there was great, I went." He was so certain of his calling that he approached his then-fiancee with a no-frills honeymoon ultimatum: "I'm going to Pakistan. What are you going to do?" "I'm going, too," she replied.

They went to a town called Ta-xila in northern Pakistan. In a land more than 99 per cent Muslim, he headed and helped train and expand a Christian hospital staff that would attract blind people from as far as 160 kilometres away. Although it is important that those who inquire "understand Christian love, know why we're there," he said, that message must be secondary to the medical treatment. "If you just go and talk to them and don't help them," he said, "they don't believe the message." Christy, who last year received St. Timothy's- 2400 Alta Vista 733-0131 Ministry, Rev.

But "no Christian in government can impose his values on the country. You can't get legislation without society demanding it;" says the federal minister of energy, mines and resources. Epp is perhaps the country's highest-profile evan-ppliral Protes tant, but says fcPP that abortion High profile is the only issue in government that he's ever argued on the basis of his own values. He says he argued against abortion in cabinet, caucus and Parliament and believes that Canada would have a pro-choice abortion law today if pro-lifers in the Conservative government caucus hadn't argued their case. LHe believes "there are certain moral imperatives to which man is subject, and preservation of life is one of them." On other positions that he pushed for in his former job as minister of health and welfare, such as the legislation to restrict beer and tobacco ads, Epp says simply "the time was right" and society as a whole was ready to make changes.

"I've never used the argument that the body is the temple of God. That's not a valid point from the public point of view." Epp says he argued those cases simply on factual health grounds. "I don't believe anyone in public or private life operates in a moral vacuum. The people who criticize me don't come from a moral vacuum, either," he says. The leaders of history all had values which helped them in making decisions, but few object to non-Christians like Mahatma Gandhi acting on their values, says Epp.

Epp belongs to a small non-denominational church in Steinbach, but says that because he's away from home 300 days a year, he's often unable to attend church. He does meet weekly with other Christian MPs for Bible study, but laughs at the suggestion that the group has ambitions to become a kind of "Moral Majority North." He says simply "That's not in the Canadian tradition." But Christians have a right to lobby for legislation that's impor CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST 288 Metcalfe at Gilmour Sunday Service 11 a.m. Sunday School 11 a m.

And Christians are getting better at influencing government policy on issues like abortion and Sunday shopping, says Epp. He says the government he's a part of often advances positions that he disagrees with, but he's never felt that he's compromised his own values. He says the world hasn't changed dramatically since he first came to Parliament in 1972 as an opposition MP.

But he has influenced Christians like Benno Friesen (PC Surrey-White Rock) and John Reimer (PC-Kitchener) to run for office. He has also been able to make a difference in small things like helping retired Canadian missionaries to receive the old-age supplement. And he's been told that his speeches against abortion have persuaded pregnant young women not to get abortions. "There are many forms of influence," he says. "If you're asking me if I've made a difference as an MP, would life have been different There's no doubt in my mind that a person without Christian values could have done as good a job.

"But the question is whether in the daily give and take of government or Parliament, what I believe is a legitimate view has been expressed day by day. I believe I have had an influence, often behind closed doors and sometimes just by my reputation. "I see that's where I've made a difference."
