A Service, The First Of Its Kind, On Remembrance Sunday
‘God Willing’ I shall be leading a short and
dignified service – as mentioned in the previous newsletter – at the
animals’ war memorial in close proximity to Hyde Park, along Park Lane,
and rather near to the Dorchester Hotel. This will be a dignified act of
Christian witness to commence at 10.30am prompt; and following the 2
minutes silence at 11.am opportunity will be given to present and lay
flowers, with a possible brief word or two.
Selective compassion is never enough. While at the
Whitehall cenotaph, and throughout the whole of the UK, humans will
rightly be remembered; here adjacent to Hyde Park the animals will be
remembered at the same time as well! ‘They had no choice’; and God has
called us as humans to be their guardians; to exercise a caring and
compassionate dominion and stewardship over them. Indeed, it is to the
shame of the churches that this remembrance of the animals on
Remembrance Sunday will be – certainly for so called: ‘animal loving
Britain!’ – the very first of its kind.
