The Plain

MOST CANADIANS can see that
the environmental issue cuts both
ways,

“Watchful and protective’ res-
idents of Coquitlam write the
Tri-City News about the over-

development of Mundy _ Park,
while the Salmon Arm Observer
makes a reasonable plea for
“compromise, not confrontation”
on the part of industry and en-
vironmentalists.

The March Plain Truth maga-

Passionist

HOLY TRINITY Parish, 2725
Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver,

is having a Lenten mission March
27 to April 2.

The mission will be conducted
by Fr, Blaise Czaja.

CP Fr.. Blaise is a Passionist
priest whose present ministry is

zine, circulated to over 200,000
Canadians, tries to present a
balanced perspective on this vital
subject,

Managing Editor Sheila
Graham, in exploring such con-
cepts as sustainable development
and eco-consciousness, has a
devastating quote from Canada’s
Maurice Strong: ‘‘We may get to
the point where the only way of
saving the world will be for indus-
trial civilization to collapse.’? And
this is from a reasoned voice in

the environmental movement.

The Plain Truth tries in this
issue to get beyond the politics of
environmentalism.

According to Gord Donnelly, a
senior engineer with the Ontario
ministry of the environment and
energy, it succeeds.

“Too often we citizens think
the government can and will clean
up the environment for us,’ said
Donnelly. ‘The lead article quick-
ly gets to the level of personal re-
sponsibility.”’

priest leads masses

preaching parish missions, He has
given over 400 such missions in
the last 20 years.

Last year he preached in
Ladysmith, Chemainus, and Vic-
toria on Vancouver Island.

Fr. Blaise was born and raised
in Port Arthur, Texas. He joined
the Passionist community in 1954

Baha’is celebrate UN Day

TODAY, MARCH 21, has been
declared United Nations Interna-
tional Day for the Elimination of
Racial Discrimination.

To honor the occasion, the Na-
tional Spiritual Assembly of the
Baha'is of Canada will be pres-
enting the first annual Baha’i
Race Unity Award to the Fort
Qu’Appelle Community Players
for their production of
Pa’ko'pi’ci’wak (The Gathering).

This production was performed
by a combined native and white
dramatic group which did much to
help create greater mutual respect
and understanding between the
two dominant races living in the

Qu’Appelie Valley. '

Baha’is tiving on the North
Shore and worldwide follow the
, challenge of studying and applying

to community life principles
relating to the elimination of
racial prejudice and the promotion
of unity by increasing love, har-
mony an yespect among the
races,

‘Baha’u’llah (1817-1892),
founder-prophet of the Baha’i
Faith, stated that ‘prejudices,
whether religious, racial, patriotic
or political, are destructive to the
foundations of human develop-
ment.

“Prejudices of any kind are the
destroyers of human happiness
and welfare. Until they are
dispelled, the advancement of the
pond of humanity is not possi-

le.’’

Today also marks the celebra-
tion of the Baha’i New Year.

‘uth goes beyond politics

Larry Badowski, a forester for
the British Columbia ministry of
forests, agrees. ‘‘Like moral
issues, we have a Christian obliga-
tion to look after whatever is
under our individual control.’’

Stan Kitt, an engineer with
Foothills Pipe Lines Limited of
Calgary, adds, ‘“‘The Plain Truth
hits the mark; we all have the
moral duty to do our part as
‘humble foot soldiers’ in restoring
our environment.”’

The Plain Truth's Canadian
desk tries to explore the Christian
responsibility for some of the
eco-apathy sometimes prominent
in the religious community.
