Remembrance is the theme of the month of November.
THE SECULAR acts of Remembrance at cenotaphs throughout the country, ‘remembers’ those who have given their lives in the cause of peace and justice in armed conflicts, especially in two world wars.
These acts of Remembrance take up the Christian theme of All Saints and All Souls which have dominated this month throughout the Christian era. Indeed, our concept of Remembrance is based on the Hebrew ideal of the Old Testament that we put back together the elements of our story, to recognise today where we have come from. To recognise the truth of who and what we are and to recognise the presence of the God who is love, in our story.
