They raise money, attend services, teach Sunday school, fill many paid positions. But the clergy remains overwhelmingly male and so does membership on boards that run churches locally and nationally, Change is currently in the air. There are new laws, new looks at old laws, quite a lot of talk. But if it is a revolu- tion, it must rank as the quietest ever. In June, 1966, the General \ssembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada voted to al- low women to be ordained and to become elders taking art in administration of a church, The margin was nar- row and a number of dele- sates remained unswayed Results have been slight The United Church has or- dained about 60 women since 1936 but few have had full charge of. a church. Women are also eligible for United Church administra- tive boards Ordination of women is a thorny issue in discussion of union between the United Church and the = Anglican Church of Canada. It is not at all certain Anglicans are ready to accept the idea. In the last 20 years eight of 28 can dioceses in Canada have-voted to allow women members in the Synod, the administrative unit. Baptists have ordained women for about 20 years, but not many. HARDLY AN ISSUE There are occasional unof- ficial suggestions from Ro- man Catholics that no real barrier exists to the ordina- tion of women except tradi- tion, but the subject is not officially open. Administration is handled by the clergy. Among Jews the idea of women becoming rabbis doesn't seem to be the sub- ject of even idle speculation. One synagogue director burst out laughing at the sugges- tion. Women are represented on administrative boards only as officers of women's auxili- aries. ATTENTION ...

Psychologically, it is seen as difficult for Canadians to accept the idea of a woman filling the father image of the clergyman and also difficult for women to see themselves in this role. The reference to St. Paul is based largely on three verses. In the First Epistle to Cor- inthians, chapter 11, verses 7 to 9, St. Paul. wrote "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, for-as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of man," 'KEEP SILENCE' In chapter 14, and 35, he wrote "Let your women keep si- lence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are com- manded to be under obedi- ence, as also saith the law. "And if they will learn any- thing, let them ask their hus- bands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." Some church people take these words: literally. Others now argue that St. Paul's ob jections were not theological but social and based on_ be- havior patterns that don't ex- ist today Verses 34 Discussing the modern _fo- cus 'pn the question, Rev. Eoin S. Mackay of Toronto says: "At this point we are concerned about principle. We say it (refusal to ordain women) is a denial of the grace of God. There are not first- and second-class people --man means generic man." Mr. ! expect much Immediate ac tion "There won't be a. grez flood of women minister There is a problem getting men." THREE ARE ELDERS Seven months after the Gen- eral Assembly decision, Dr E. A. Thomson says there are only three women elders in the church. No Presbyterian woman has applied for ordi- nation though several have the academic requirements Dr. Thomson is secretary of the Presbyterian Church in Canada In the longer experience of the United and Baptist churches, there haye been few women ministers and ac- ceptance of them still seems far from complete. Some con- € ions are still reluctant to "call" a woman Rey. Harriet Christie of the United Church Training School for girls in Toronto Says "At the initial calling of a woman there is the extra fac tor for a congregation of whether they want a woman. For the most part the only places where women are sta- tioned are those too difficult for men to take--where they couldn't find a man to take it "Once they are in a situa- tion, however, they are ac- cepted by fellow | ministers and by the congregation." Dr. Leland Gregory, gen eral secretary convention of Quebec, agrees "The likelihood of a church inviting a woman is _ slight, I'm sorry to say. We have a handful of ordained women in this country. I'm not certain any of them is in full-time pastoral charge. "Though there is a tendency to put men in charge, there is no barrier to a woman beyond the more or less normal--and itis al,whether- we like it or not. There is a failure on the part of society to acknowledge the rightful place of leadership women should have." of the Baptist Ontario and ' Belted Full Skirts Swirl Above Knees | In Paris Preview By PEGGY MASSIN PARIS (Reuters) -- Pierre Balmain today staged a modi- fied revival of the late 1930s. He brought back a woman's with a moulded bosom, fitted and belted waist-line and body a full skirt that outmoded the shapeless' shift. | The big difference between the 1930: fashion and Balmain's contemporary silhouettes was length of skirt. Balmain |showed them shorter than he jever had before, scissored off iwell above the knee The trim little navy blue suits, with snug-belted jackets, lgored or pleated skirts and Iprint blouses. with matching cloche hats recalled the style lworn just before the Second World War. Blouses 'in small tie silk pat- terns had soft bows at the high jthe neckline and were matched jwith printed cloche hats or Maurice Chevalier straw boat- ers with the printed silk face on the underside of the rim. SKIBTS FLARE OUT Dresses had tightly-fitted bod- jices that played up the bosom, short sleeves and a narrow leather belt slotted through tabs just above the natural waist line Skirts flared out in funnel shapes or were cut in biased panel Dancing dresses made of chiffon had short, swirling skirts, below incrusted jewelled belts and snug-fitted high neck bodices, Two coat silhouettes were in direct opposition. The slender double - breasted reefers and redingotes had slightly flared skirts and sported enough brass buttons to equip the entire navy.
