themoorin~The challenge of Easter

In a nation that legally refuses to respect life, the meaning ofrisen life, resurreCtion, is a mere fable. To compound the difficul­ties of belief, the notion of death is practically un-American. Some­how we have fortified ourselves with the concept that we shalllive forever. We no longer die, we merely pass away. ThrougQ ourmaterial affluence and eve~-expanding technology we have moldeda cult of the ·comfortable. Because we have so much to live for,death has no place in our living. However, never before in humanhistory has death been so close to each and every' one of us. Infact, with satellite communications, death is instantly at hand. Daily

I we view media coverage, movies and newspaper accounts ofpeople dying. Wars, earthquakes, floods lind volcanic eruptionsare brought into our living rooms. We begin to view death as atelevision show. As a result we have numbed our sensitivities andwe block out the reality that we too shall die.

The truth is, death is a violent upheaval in· our human way ofexisting. For many it is the most "unnatural" act that we too shalldie.

Holy Week is a wonderful time to face the truth of our ownperson. For believers it is a time of faithful affirmation in the prom­ise that life is changed but not ended. As Christians we are giventhe possibility to believe in a mystery thafour physical death is notthe end of our lives but that we are entering into a continuing ofthe life that God has given to each of us. This is made possible bythe gift and promise of Jesus to, wake us up from our sleep andopen us to his eternal life. ,

Bill Moyers' thought-provoking television series "On Our OwnTerms" has helped millions of people come to grins with theirown mortality. It has graphically told the journey of many termi­nally ill people with dignity, grace and beauty. So very often thegift of faith and family is seen as one of the comforting ways thata people can truly look death in the eye. It also afftrrils the,verybasic concept that we die as we' live.

It is more than important that we believe the Good Friday mes­sage that Jesus has taken the sting out of death. 'He has broken thepower of death. Life·does notena at·Calvary>So.many people ju~tcannot bring themselves to begin climbing this hill. Without faiVtthere can be no qope; 'perhaps thiS ·is' why :so many people in oarcomfortable America are despairing and suicidal. Those who ad­vocate assisted suicide have lost all respect for life in so far as theyhave abandoned a truly holistic concept of the whole person. It.isthe whole person, body and soul, that has a chance at holiness.

Easter is a special time to affirm thai the resurrection of Christ isthe central mystery of our Christian faith and the source of all ourho.pe. Time is reversed through the Resurrection; the 'eternal isborn. Time and space have been redeemed and ~arried forwardinto a future of everlasting life aJ)d joy.

It is most important for all of us to remember that to the degreewe ,have entered into His death and resurrection, we will be able tobring the transferring grace of Je~us into the material world thatsurrounds us. Jesus becomes more risen, in 'his body, the Church, aswe and others allow Him to use uS as healers and reconcilers in a

. world that so very often is ripped apart by" dissension and bitterness.Easter is a precious moment that allows us to make this world a

better place. It helps us to throw· off the darkness and walk in thelight. .In this light, that of the risen Christ, we can transform the

" . culture of death into a pilgrimage of life and light. Death no longer, has any power over us.

Nazism, taking the eu­genics movement to itslogical and demonic con­clusion, put tl,le term "eu­genics" on the shelf after

World War II. But the eugenicsproject continued. The pressures onparents today to abort unborn chil­dren liable to Down~s syndrome arebut one example.

We should call these things byo their right names. To tum begettinginto manufacture in order to get abetter ~'product" is eugenics; it is in­human, and it is wicked.

To create indisputablyhuman creatures for the sole pur­pose ofexperimenting on them andthen disposing of them --:.... which iswhat happens with and to so-called"research embryos" - is wicked;and it is a crucial element in thenew, 21 st- century eugenicsproject.

''Thedismay and angerofthe abor­tionists over this decision signals theywill continue their efforts to sustainthis verdict, and so the battle in thiscase is not over yet," he added.

The attorneys general for 12states, as well as groups such as theNOW Legal Defense and EducationFund, the'ACLU Foundation of Or­egon and the Anti-DefamationLeague had filed friend-of-the-courtbriefs in support of the abortion doc­tors and clinics.

The lawsuit filed in 1995 hadclaimed the coalition had violatedfederal mcketeering and clinic accesslaws by conducting a "campaign ofterror and intimidation" against abor­tion supporters.

In the first trial, U.S. DistrictJudgeRobert Jones of Portland, Ore., toldthe jury they could consider the his­tory ofviolence by opponents ofabor-

. tion and the fact that three doctorswhose names appeared on the listswere later killed.

But the appeals panel ruled thatthe coalition could be held liable onlyif their material authorized, ratified ordirectly threatened violence.

Carter's entrepreneurialbut alooffather began farming in Archery in1928 when Jimmy was four, mov­ing there from Plains. While Carterprovides enough prehis!ory to situ­ate his story and enough recent de­tail to satisfy the curious about thefate of his parents and his three sib­lings, his focus is always on the farmand the land. He writes:

"My most persistent impression,as a farm boy was of the earth.There was a closeness, almost animmersion, in the sand, loam andred clay that seemed natural andconstant. The soil caressed my barefeet, and the dust was always boil­ing up from the dirt road that passed50 feet from our front door, so thatinside our clapboard house the red

But his is never a dry retelling.Rather, his account.is laced withrevealing anecdotes about people:his parents and relatives, ofcourse,but also his many black mentors,his neighbors, his chums (mostlyblack until he entered highschOOl),and his teachers. This in a townwhere everybody knew everythingabout everybody else and the ar­rival of an empty casket causedmuch excitement.

It is impossible to come awayfrom this work without great ad­miration for the people and theland, their failings - particularlyin regard to race~ notwithstand­ing. They nurtured a decent manwho now writes about them withunderstanding and authenticity.

I was,therefore, totally fasci­nated by Jimmy Carter's memoir,"An Hour Before Daylight"(Simon & Schuster), in which theformer president describes what it

What it was like seems morepurgatorial than enchanting, butCarter, who shook the manurefrom betweenhis toes to at­tend collegeand the U.S.Naval Acad­emy, looksback on thosedays with fond­ness (albeit"more fondnessthan they de­serve"), seeing .in each newcircumstance a"partic'ularblessing" ora"great experi­ence" oran "ex­citing" event.

If our cul­tures shape us,then Carterprovides the perfectex­ample.

Help has included short- andlong-term accommodation for al­most 30 women at BethlehemHouse, a facility for mothers andbabies run by Pregnancy Life Cen­ter. Assistance also has come in theform of help with university feesand occasional help with monthlybills or mortgages for familiesfearful of losing their home if themother could not work.

The bishop's pledge "to anywoman'regardless of creed or cir­cumstances, and without any con­ditions attached," was made in CEl­

operation with Family LifeInternational's Family Life Preg­nancy Center, which offers practi-

cal help for crisis pr~gnancy.

Thousands of p'hone calls fol­lowed, and hundreds of womenhave used the center's services inAuckland since the media public­ity.

Several women spoke o'Lthetrauma they experienced' on dis- ,covering their pregnancy and thedifference to their lives made byhelp given from the center.
