STANLEY ISHERWOOD Rector St. John's Anglican Church In the religious terminology of North America, the ex- proesion "born again" seems to have taken on new life. We are reading on the sports pages of our newspapers about sports stars who are born again Christians. Certain politicians, we read, are born again. Cioser to home, some of the local non-Anglicans were surprised to hear that the new rector was bora again. And so it goes. But what are these people, these born again Christians? Can you recogmize themn in the streets? Do they stand out from the rest of the congregation i Church? Or do they even go to Church? (It was recently suggested to me that born again Christians don't need to go to Churchi) To find out the answers to these question the place to go is to the Bible. In the third chapter of John, Gospel Jesus says te an enquirere, "no one cani see the Kingdom of God, unless he is born again". First of ail, then, it appears fairiy clear that the born again Christians are the ones destined for heat*'%. Although this doesn't heip us spot them in a crowd, it is of some significance. On another occasion- Jesus told his listeners that the ingdom of heaven belongs to "those who know they.are spi ritually poor", to "'those .who are per- sectited because they do what God requires". So here are two signs to help us spot the born again Christian, spiritual humility and unjust persecution. The trouble with these two signs, of course, is that they are not very obvious. Spiritual pride is often easier to spot than spiritual humility, and as for persecution, we find it ea sier to recognize it in our own lives than in others. There are other dlues to be found throughout the New Testament but we will find thaf'none provides us with a sure fire method of iden- tifying the born again Christians we meet. And this is as it should be for, God is the only judge. I D. THAPAR Denture Therapist 214 Duadas St.,E.,OWhiby- 6681797 HOURS.: Mon. - Sut. & Evenings By Appointment 0Only But what about ourselves? Do you or 1 beiong to the group? First be assured that there is flot usually anything spec- tacular about those people. What makes the difference is this - they have simply responded to Paul's Invitation, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shaU be saved" (iLe. born again). They believe (and act on these beliefs) that Jesus is lord and ruler of their lives and that he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Certainly there are others in our Churches, certainly ail of. us make many mistakes and have many failings. But those of us who know that Jesus has made the difference in our lives, that he is lord of our lives, and that he is Lord of AIl, we have every right to claim for ourselves the titie "born again". More.. about. MaBel CONT'D FROM PG. 13 This matter is very important Wo a large numnber of Bell Canada subecribers and, therefore, should be given careful study and consideration by the top echelon of the company. Garry Mole has done what-a lot of us should have done. He at his own expense of both money and tixne has started the bail roiling. We should ail get behlnd hlm and give him our support. I agree with him whole heartedly. But we must remember that there are many sides to this matter. It may flot be easy to resolve. We must realize that some people in Whitby do flot normaily cail Toronto and they must be considered when the options are reviewed. Bell Canada has the expertise, we th~e people of Whitby have the desire and need for free dialing to Toronto. May the two be combined by serious thought to give an accep- table and happy resuit to the solution?
