The Pope # s visit to America
By REV. PAUL FULP Milford United Methodist Church The mass numbers of people who turned out to see Pope John Paul 11, plus the constant attention of the press, are indications that the Papal office is still a position of much influence — in a time when the church seems to have little influence. I applaud the Pope for recognizing the impact of his leadership role in the world and getting out of the Vatican to exercise that leadership. His speaking out on contemporary issues will certainly challenge minds all over the world scene. I was impressed by two things: That Americans have deep spiritual hungers and respect for

EXPRESS COMING TO LEESBURG — The Leesburg United Methodist Church will be having a Pony Express stewardship campaign the next several weeks. Rev. Ross Richey fascinates Carrie and Brian McClure, children of Pat and Jane McClure, r 2 Leesburg, with a hobby horse. The Pony Express will be away for each member to estimate the amount he or she will be able to give to the church during the coming year in the privacy of their home without “supervision” of someone from the church.

religious authority and that we are looking for moral leadership. One factor, however, is very curious and revealing. While a great number of people are attracted to the Pope and respect him — they don’t mind disagreeing with him or “disobeying” him. The invocation of ‘‘papal infallibility” or the appeal to a rigid tradition has little impact on contemporary people. Inflexible decisions based on yester-year’s situations leave the church in a state of antiquated animation that has nothing at all to do with today. An excellent, illustration is the Pope’s declaration that women cannot be priests because Jesus did not choose women in the male -dominated first century.

With all due respect to his Christian commitment and integrity, the Pope is misguided in his views on women in the priesthood, birth control, divorce, abortion and celibacy. In recent years we have seen people following leaders of all sorts down paths leading to destruction of various sordid varieties. People are hungry for good positive leadership. The church, rather than always being the guardian of the past, needs to be the pioneer of the future — leading the way on the growing edge df life. Every effort must be made to revitalize the church’s efforts and update its approaches — so that we can be the fresh wind blowing in the troubled airs of our day! That’s how I see it — what do you think? Crusade to be held at New Salem Dr. William “Bill” Freed, outstanding pastor, TV and radio speaker, will be the guest Bible speaker at the New Salem Church Os The Brethren, each evening at 7:30 p.m. during November 12 thru 18.

The projected budget for next year has been agreed upon by the finance committee and the administrative board.
