From the Sounds of Angels 'Therefore with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify they glorious Name; evermore praising thee and saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts, Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to thee. O Lord Most High: Hosanna in the highest.' (Anglican Book of €Com- mon Prayer, 1962, pg. 79-81). On September 29th, which fell on a Sunday, Christian churches around the world celebrated St. Michael and All Angels Day. In the Anglican Eucharist (or celebration of Holy Communion), we always remember the presence of angels in our lives, when we say or chant the Proper Preface. Angels are often forgotten in our world. Some theologians choose to ignore them entirely seeing angels as an embroidery of Holy Scripture. In the Early Church and from the time of the apostles Michael has been claimed as patron and defender of Christ's Church, the archangel above all angels. Revelation 12:-11 shows how, ina vision, the author saw Michael cast Satan (known as the Dragon) and his fallen angels out of Heaven. Michael's name means the Holy Spirit back to God the Father. Michael and other angels have followed God's Will, and acted as usually without their knowledge. Angels must never be worshipped ... perhaps one reason why Christian communities have given them little or no profile in the spiritual realm. Because of Satan's rebelliousness and pride as a fallen angel, we are directed to give no more than thanks for their presence among us. - Yet St. Michael and all the angels need to be remembered by us. There special emissaries of God have appeared at major periods in our History of Faith. An angel foretells Jesus' birth to Mary (Luke 1: 28-35); another angel announces the birth to shepherds (Luke 2: 8-20); angels minister to Jesus in the wilderness, after his temptation by Satan (Mark 1: 12-13). guardians for others ... We have much to learn from the examples set by angels in our world: |. From angels we learn of the sin of rebelliousness, Satan, however we perceive him, is shown by scripture to be a fallen angel. In defiance to God's commands, Satan and his supporters sought to destroy the goodness of our Heavenly Father's Creation. We too, have much of Satan's sinfulness within us and we can be tempted or seduced into sin or rebelliousness towards God. Satanic or evil motives such as pride, lust, jealousy, fear and hatred can block our relationship with God the Father. 2. From angels we recall God's great love for us, his capacity to forgive our sinfulness. Angels reveal Jesus Christ's coming his struggles with temptation, his glorious resurrection from death and suffering through the Holy Spirit we know of God's desire to claim us as his own through angels. 3. From angels we know that we're in fellowship with Jesus Christ and his Church of All Ages - the church of the apostles, the church of which we are a part of today, the church to come. Angels cause us to pause and praise the Risen Jesus Christ, as our lord and saviour for eternity. 4. From angels we know that death is conquered through faith in Jesus Christ. From our baptism, we know that we're born to die in this life, only to have new life in Jesus Christ, if we live in relationship with him. Angels point not to temporal time as we know it, but to everlasting time where by grace, we can live in rela- tionship with the Lord Jesus and the whole host of Heaven. You and I may never experience angels in our lifetime, especially those who act as our silent guardians on earth. But, we know that their presence in our world is one of comfort and support, to draw us through the Holy Spirit back to God the Father. Whenever we celebrate the Eucharist Mass, Lord's Supper or Holy Communion together, we're reminded by BILL LEGRAND '"'Who is like to God' and his actions have always been to draw people, through Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, November 13, 1985, page 9?

TV and sex role models by Deborah Bernstein Television can have a great deal of influence on the attitudes which young people. develop about themselves and the world around them. It is often referred to as a major socializing influence, along with parents, peers, school and church. As the roles that men and women have in society continue to change, concern is building about the specific effect that television has on children's attitudes and ex- pectations regarding men and women, their relation- ship to one another, and their roles in society. While the image of the sexes on television has. changed in the last decade, it still does not accurately reflect the world of today, nor does it portray enough appropriate role models to help prepare our.children for the world of tomorrow. Male predominance Research has shed some light on the problem. There are approximately equal numbers of men and women in society. Yet, there are almost three times more men than women on television. In recent years, more women are visible in major roles, but their overall representation on television has not increas- ed significantly. Also, men still dominate the world of work on television, and they particularly dominiate in roles involving profes- sional, high-status occupa- tions. We can all think of shows like Family Ties, Cagney and Lacey and The Cosby Show which portray working mothers who give advice and participate in family decisions. However, when you look at television overall, you find many more men than women in authoritative roles giving orders and ad- vice. In advertising, over 80% of the voices which provide authoritative infor- mation about products are male. Stereoty ping Frequently , the personal characteristics of men are stereotyped as rational, ambitious, smart, com- petitive, powerful, domi- nant and tolerant. Women are more often portrayed as being sensitive, warm, romantic, sociable, peaceful, fair and sub- missive. Stereotyping 1s even. more common in advertising than in enter- tainment programming. In a recent study, teenage girls were asked what characteristics they felt a woman should have in order to be popular with men. The girls who had seen a lot of commercials with stereotyped characters were more likely to con- sider sex appeal, a youthful appearance, glamour, and a slim body to be important than were the girls who had not seen as much advertis- ing on television. There is nothing necessarily right or wrong, good or bad, about any of the attributes men- tioned. The issue is 'whether or not children develop stereotyped ideas about the characteristics and capabilities of men and women through their ex- perience with television, which may influence their own self image as well as their attitudes about other people. As parents, we should try to ensure that the view- ing experience is a positive one for our children - that it promotes rather than im- pedes healthy develop- ment, that it does not replace life experience but complements it. We can encourage our children to choose their programs carefully, to see that they are exposed to a range of characters and role models, that they see both men and women with varied oc- cupations, lifestyles, and personal characteristics. In this way, television can ex- pand their awareness of the world around them and serve as a source of learn- ing about the diversity of options which do and hopefully will continue to exist for them in society.
