Millions have visited the ‘art installation’. I wonder if this because the response to the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War One can only be marked in a spiritual way. There have been critics of the sea of poppies, saying that in some way it glorifies war, or becomes nationalistic and does nothing to display the horror of war. It makes me think that the only way in which we can mark Remembrance, or any of the other events surrounding this anniversary, is through our worship. It is only in the context of the cross and resurrection that we can make sense of our humanity. These events above all show us a side of humanity which is repugnant. We see our ability to destroy each other. We should be celebrating that in 2014 British troops have left Afghanistan, but the reality is it means we have been fighting fairly continuously since the beginning of the First World War and we will probably go on doing so. Looking at the 100 years since 1914 would be unutterably depressing if all we could focus on is this aspect of humanity. Instead we are called to look to the cross which takes seriously our human failings and also points us to a new hope. We need the art and the spiritual dimension of our lives to lift us to new possibilities. As a parish we will be continuing our commemoration of the beginning of WW1 with a concert on Saturday 15th November at St Peter & St Paul. The Oxford Welsh Male Voice Choir will perform a concert IN PEACE AND REMEMBRANCE. The concert will feature inspiring and moving pieces in the unique fourpart harmony that makes this choir truly Welsh. The concert will also feature talented young soprano Hannah Nye together with readings on the theme of peace and remembrance. Please join us for this very special and unique occasion.
