Pause For Thought

From Canon Ann Easter, Chief Executive of a Charity and Chaplain to the Queen:

听

Today, August 4th 2014, it鈥檚 exactly one hundred years since Britain joined the First World War and, all over the world, there will be commemorations and services to mark the occasion. Straight after this programme, I鈥檓 going back to east London to take part in a service at our local Police Station where we鈥檒l unveil a plaque to the police officers who were killed in the war. So many people, mostly men but some women too, didn鈥檛 come home, they died a ghastly, muddy death and rest there still, while others, like my own grandfather, Albert Ernest Boater, came home bearing the scars and never spoke about the terrible nightmares that they鈥檇 experienced.

They said it would end at Christmas at first听 but, as the fighting continued, people began to despair and Sir Edward Grey, the wartime Foreign Secretary, spoke for many when he said 鈥楾he lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our life time鈥�.

They were lit again, some four terrible years later, but the new lamps were different because that war had changed the world irrevocably; for those who died or lost someone, things would never be the same of course, but for everyone, the old orders were crumbling all around them and those poor souls must have wondered what it鈥檇 all been for.

That war 鈥� I refuse to call it 鈥楾he Great War鈥� since there鈥檚 nothing great about it - was meant to be the war to end all wars but the briefest glance around the world today will show that it didn鈥檛 work 鈥� will we ever learn?

This evening, at 10 o clock, we鈥檙e asked to put out our lights in remembrance of those who died. But we鈥檙e asked to keep one light on and, for me that is the light that says to the darkness 鈥業 beg to differ鈥�; it鈥檚 the light of hope, a sign of our determination that we will not forget and that our tribute to their sacrifice will be to do all we can for the peace of this world.
