2007
is the fourth year in succession that this service has taken place
in the village. You will recall that previous ministries had virtually
ignored this important and poingnant service, giving remembrance
a woefully inadequate few minutes coverage in the normal Sunday
Communion service. Thanks to Revd. Cumberlidge, those days are now
a thing of the pas........(KT)

Millions of young men
and women - 947,000 of them from the British Empire - lost their lives
in the First World War. Millions more died in the Second World War.
It begs the question "Was World War One
a triumph of democracy over imperial expansion or an exercise in military
futility?" The bottom line is -
that whichever you decide to be the right answer,
the need to forever remember the victims of this appalling part of
human history, is of paramount importance. |
Whatever
the season, here in England we live in a country packed to the hilt
with stunning
natural beauty. We are able to enjoy it as many times as we wish -
and whenever we wish. More pertinent is the fact that we can
do it in complete freedom. Millions before us had that opportunity
taken from them...We are indeed, fortunate... |
