In a Living article yesterday on the March for Jesus, Mr. Paul Harney's telephone number should have read 234-3100.

Bermuda is all set to join the rest of the world in the second Global March for Jesus, an annual event which, last year, drew more than 10 million participants from 170 countries.

Organised in Bermuda by Christians from various denominations, spokesman Mr.

Paul Harney says the May 27 march will represent all churches, and cut through all barriers of race, nationality, age and gender. "I see an increasing need for churches in Bermuda to come together,'' says Mr. Harney, who has just returned from `Youth with a Mission' in the UK, an organisation that combines theological studies with practical community and social work. "There is too much emphasis on dissension and division in the church today,'' he adds.

The idea behind the Global March is that for 24 hours on May 27, the whole world in rotation will be "proclaiming the name of Jesus.'' Last year's March started at sun-rise in the Tonga Islands in the Pacific. "It spread across every continent, to places like Mongolia and South Korea. Over 1,200 cities in the US took part -- and I was one of the 12,000 who marched in Hyde Park.'' Mr. Harney, who attends the Radnor Road Christian Fellowship, is one of five committee members organising the March which will be routed from the Fidelity Building on East Broadway, along Court Street and end with a celebratory gathering in Bernard's Park.

He explains that there is a geographical 10 and 40 degree line of latitude which places Bermuda in line with the Isle of Man and the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean, "so we shall be linked up in prayer with both of those places. We're planning to telephone the Isle of Man on the day and find out how their March is going! This is the second year that Bermuda has taken part in this world-wide event and we want everyone to have a good time. Some people find the church, as a whole, boring and we would like to help change that concept.'' Mrs. Muriel Archer, a member of St. John's Church, is also on the committee.

As a teacher for the Christian-based Educational Services International, she has been working, on and off, for the past 25 years in China. Last year, she says, 12,000 took part in the Hong Kong March for Jesus. "A group went from there into communist China, to proclaim Jesus from the Great Wall of China.

They had to march through Beijing -- and that was allowed. When I was there in 1989, they stopped me going through Tiananmen Square, but things have improved since then.'' Mrs. Archer has also worked extensively in Russia, spending three months last year in St. Petersburg (her salary of 153,000 roubles netted her just $38.25 on conversion). "We are not allowed to preach the Gospel there,'' she says, "but I did find that people wanted me to teach them how to pray. The only people who can remember, are now in their 80s and 90s. My students also wanted me to explain Christmas to them!'' Mr. Harney who hopes to become a Christian counseller, worked with a commune in Copenhagen and spent three months in India as part of his studies and since his return to Bermuda, is working as a volunteer for the Physical Abuse Centre.

Expressing her hope that all denominations will participate in the march, Mrs.

Archer says: "I told the Bishop of Bermuda I feel we are being torn about here, wasting our time, energy and gifts debating political matters and it's tearing us all apart. We should be doing things that unite instead of dividing us. We live in a Christian country. In my travels I've seen just what it's like living in a non-Christian country -- places like China and Russia -- and people have no idea of how awful it can be. We should be uniting here as Christians -- not worrying about denominations! So we are hoping that this March for Jesus will unite the whole of Bermuda!'' For further details, churches and individuals are asked to telephone Mr.

Harney at 234-0808, Jay Little at 234-0808 or Mrs. Archer at 292-4729.
