- Notes
- "Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, is asking that churches across the country ring their bells for peace as the sun sets on Remembrance Day this year -- the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War" (p. 1). "The bell ringing is one of many special commemorations planned by Anglican churches across Canada this Remembrance Day, of which the Journal was able to note only a sampling. Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Edmonton, Alta., regimental church of the Canadian Armed Forces' South Alberta Light Horse unit, has for the past several years held a Remembrance Day service and commemoration that draws in about 500 people from the community, says the church's rector, the Rev. Chris Pappas" (p. 9). "History is also a focus at St. George's Anglican Church in London, Ont., where parishioner Nancy Dodman has been working on a four-year project to commemorate the more than 130 men from the church who served, and the 14 who died in battles, in the First World War" (p. 7). "This year at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Halifax -- situated at the south end of historic military parade square in front of city hall -- members of the public will be invited to come in, warm up, drink some hot chocolate and look through a placarded art exhibit, 'St. Paul's and the Great War', drawn from the church's archival material" (p. 9). "Bishop Nigel Shaw, Anglican bishop ordinary to the Canadian Armed Forces, says the First World War demonstrates 'how far we can go, and how terrible a situation we can create, when we stop looking at each other as being equally children of God. That's what we need to remember when we're tempted to treat the other as somehow less worthy of respect and consideration', he says" (p. 9).
