Anglican primate wants Whitby We must become a community of sear- chers, seeking in a unified way the solutions to the problems that confront man in the 20th century. That wasthe message brought to what was billed as the first Annual Mayor's Prayer Break- fast by The Most Rev. Edward Scott, Anglican Primate of Canada, last Saturday morning. Speaking to a larger- than-expected crowd of about 170 people at Heydenshore Pavilion, Scott said that neither the capitalist nor the communist systems have managed to over- come the weighty problems facing them. "Over the next three or four decades, human beings have to come to realize that we do not own the world," the Ar- chbishop said, - "God owns the world." Many of the problems confronting man today such as pollution, unemployment and world peace can be r c e t id bitterness on the part of the people committing it. Many, the former moderator of the World Council of Churches said, are becoming in- creasingly alienated from society. "We have to find some things to live for," he said. "We need to become a community of sear- chers," Scott added, to their society maximum. discouragej and tend to1 problems solutions. respective to the Both, new ideas look at old with old Both East and West suffer from worsening pollution. 'What we are now learning is that nature is not infinitely patient," Scott said adding these problems are coming of searchers back to haunt in various ways. As man gains new knowledge, he becomes more accountable for what he does or does not do. "We are accountable to God at the level of our new knowledge," the Archbishop said. "We have to approach the situation as sear- chers, realizing that we don't know the answers to the problems we're dealing with," he said. And our problems are going to plague us "until we admit that we don't have all the an- swers...and that we cannot give ready made answers to new situations." Scott, who was elected Anglican Primate in 1971 and made a Com- panion of the Order. of Canada in 1978, also called for what he ter- med "servant leader- ship." This kind of leader-1 ship, he said, wouldi "stand beside people" and would encourage them to produce new ideas and new solutions to old problems. "Never un- derestimate where new ideas can come from," he said, "We have to set each man free to dream and present new ideas." A servant leadership, he added, would strive "to build a world where every human being knew that he or she was valuable and loved and knew that he or she had a contribution to make and had a right to the resources of creation." We have to recognize and encourage in- dividual talent and the rights of each to live and contribute to the society in which they live. "God, in His wisdom, gives us a wide variety of talents," Scott said, "And, as children of God, we have a right to the resources of creation." Man has to learn to live in nature and not over nature. "The most destruc- CONT'D ON PG. 20 The developers of the now defunet Brooklin expansion project have launched a lawsuit against the Town of Whitby to recover. $50,000 it gave the town to conduct a planning study of downtown Brooklin. According to town administrator Bill Wallace, the money was given to the town when First City Developmen- ts and Tamay Realty signed a development agreement with the town. However, the money wasn't to be spent on the study until the agreement was executed, that is, when construction begun. "No action was taken to proceed with the study," Wallace said adding that money is currently being kept in a trust fund. Neither of the plaintif- fs asked for a meeting with the town to discuss the return of the money before the writ was ser- ved last week. The administrator added that the matter has beeit Luiteu over to the town's solicitor, Hugh Nichol. Nichol told the Free Press last week that it could take as long as twoyears for the matter to finally end up in court if a settlement is not reached. He expects to have a statement of claim ser- ved on him and the court, outlining the plaintiff's position sometime in the next couple of weeks. After that, Nichol will prepare a statement of defense. Mayor Bob Attersley said the town will defend its population and its agreement. "We have an agreement and we'll defend our position," he said. Should the town lose, he is not worried. "If the instigators win, we still have money to pay them." Attersley also noted that the developers have already deeded to the town the 16-acre park on Winchester Rd. that is used every year to house the Brooklin Spring Fair.
