Community News Ideas? Call the Port Perry Star = 985-7383 Abortion brochure gives church an opportunity to express views From Page 1 Pastor Daniels says the church is "uncomfortable" with protest-type activities and be- ieves this was the best way to get its anti-abortion message out to the community. In the covering letter signed by both the congregation and Pastor Daniels, it states "We recognize this is an emotional issue with sincere convictions held by those on both sides of the question. While we have no desire to inflame emotions fur- ther, we do believe many have not had opportunity to person- ally reflect on what actually oc- cursin an abortion." With the brochures he says it gives them not only a chance to express their views, but also provides the recipient with a chance to either read the mate- rial or throw it away. "Our purpose is not to argue, but in a sane and calm way argue our convictions," he said. Pastor Daniels says the com- munity has just as much right to send the church their views as the church did in sending it out. Pastor Daniels is expecting more calls concerning the mail. 'Although denying that it was their intention to provoke this type of response, Pastor Dan- iels says more calls and letters are inevitable. "I would be disappointed if we didn't get any response," he said. Despite the negative re- sponse to the mailing, Pastor Daniels defends the action which the congregation took. He says it is the role of an ev- angelical church, such as the Port Perry Baptist Church, to "make a statement about moral and social issues," as well as to "speak up for what we believe in biblically." Pastor Daniels says the church was exercising a basic right in this country, the free- dom of expression. "We were ex- ercising a cherished liberty that we enjoy in society," add- ing that it is a violation of a per- son's right by denying them a chance to express themseleves. Pastor Daniels does not be- lieve the material is offensive or overly graphic arguing that pictures of the holocaust were as "gruesome" and they're often shown on television. He says they put the label on the package warning parents that it was "not suitable for children" to alert the parents that it could trouble the chil- dren. He doesn't believe it is any more damaging than some pictures seen on television or in magazines on store shelves. He says they are trying to be "as sensitive as possible" in han- dling the issue. But it is not just the material that has people incensed, it is also the method in which they received it. Approximately 4,000 other homeowners in Port Perry and Prince Albert, received the mailing, with the simple warn- ing on the front. It had no other identification on it stating who the sender was. This incensed Mr. Kirkham who questions how he got the mail without any address or stamp. He says he will be phoning Ross Stevenson, Durham's MP, the Township of Scugog, and the Port Perry Post Office, to ask "who is putting junk mail in my mailbox from a church, which in my opinion has no damn business getting into anyone's personal business?" But Bob Walker, postmaster at Canada Post's Port Perry branch, says the mail was per- fectly legitimate. He said the church paid for this mailing to be delivered on a direct mailing basis. Mr. Walker says it is up to the post office to screen the mail before it is distributed to determine whether it is ob- scene, indecent or immoral. He could not see anything wrong with the material. Adding it is "a matter of interpretation." Mr. Walker says they have received a few calls concerning theissue.
