The Dean Writes:
Dear Parishioners and Friends all around the world,
As we come into Remembrance season, we reflect on the significance of the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day
earlier this year. These occasions remind us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during the turmoil of war.
However, they also compel us to remember the ongoing struggles faced by many, particularly those affected by the
Troubles in Northern Ireland. While we have witnessed significant changes in our own society, we must acknowledge
that the shadows of conflict still linger, revealing the fragility of peace.
Remembrance Day offers us a moment to pause, honour, and reflect on all lives lost—not just in the major wars, but also in the smaller, yet equally impactful, conflicts of our time. Each name on a memorial, every story shared, represents not just a loss but a profound impact on families and communities. As we consider these sacrifices, we are reminded of our shared humanity and the call to seek understanding and reconciliation.
In the context of our ever-changing world, where conflicts still rage in various areas, it is imperative that we actively promote peace. Scripture reminds us of this divine calling: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9). This verse challenges us to embody the peace that Jesus offers. We need to be agents of reconciliation in our homes, communities, and beyond.
Jesus, the Prince of Peace, invites us to trust in Him amidst the storms of life. He assures us that, through faith, we can experience a peace that surpasses all understanding. In Philippians 4:6-7, St Paul writes, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This promise is not merely about the absence of conflict but encompasses a profound sense of well-being and security in God’s presence.
As we reflect on the past, we must also consider our role in fostering a future marked by peace. We, as a church and as individuals, need to contribute to healing and reconciliation. Controlling our words and actions may be a good starting point. ‘May the words of our lips and thoughts of our hearts be always acceptable in God’s sight.’ Psalm 19:14.
As we come together this Remembrance season, may we honour the memories of those who have gone before us, while also committing ourselves to the pursuit of peace. Let us be inspired by the sacrifices made and the love shown, and may we carry this spirit into our daily lives and our actions.
Yours very sincerely,
