THE HARPERS BROOK GROUP OF ANGLICAN CHURCHES

One of the things which marks us out as Human is the complexity of our memory. Like all of our faculties, of course, it can let us down, but when functioning well it helps make us who we are. When you consider too, in our digital age, how much will now get passed on to future generations, our collective memory is potentially more powerful than ever. So it's important we use 'memory' as wisely as we can, affirming what's been good and learning from what's gone wrong. This week we gather that collective memory, to remember and honour all who have given their own lives for our liberty. May we never stop honouring their costly gift to us, and learning, in their memory, to never cease working for true peace in our time. Knowing too that true peace begins with us.
