We remember...

The high points of today's sermon (sorry PJH, I'm stealing them, but I'm sure you don't mind):

The opposites of remember are:

Forget, which we must not do.

Dismember, which is all to common in war, be it bodies dismembered, minds dismembered, or families dismembered by death or injury.

We remember Christ at the Eucharist. We remember how he was dismembered for us, so that, though we were dismembered from God, He will remember us. And we also remember Christ in the Eucharist lest we forget how wonderful and terrible a thing it was that He did for us.

Remembrance Sunday is always a tricky one. We had lots of servicemen and servicewomen, lots of prayers for peace. We remembered all those who died in war, whatever side, fighting or not. I think that's probably a start.
