It was deeply moving, a reminder of how that war affected almost every family and community. Its deepest power was though simply in the reading of names. Names are so precious, the way in which we are known to each other as father, son, daughter, husband, partner or lover and of course they are the way in which we are known to God, whom the psalmist says formed each one of us in our mother’s womb, who call us, who holds us as beloved. As the names of those killed in the Great War recede into the carved stone of our memorials it would be easy to forget. In this centenary year let us remember them, the humanity, the vulnerability, the uniqueness of each person, and those who loved and mourned them. In our world today where still innocent victims of every race and creed lose their lives in war and conflict, it is in this remembering that we discover anew our common humanity, our hope for peace and commit ourselves to a better future, for which they laid down their lives that we may have a new heart and a new spirit.
