Tie a knot in our hankie, repeat it often or make a diary note on our phone calendar. W Sometimes music, or a picture or an object can remind us of something or someone. We use reminders all the time. A very obvious reminder in November is a poppy, for remembering soldiers, sailors and aircrew who have died in two world wars and other smaller conflicts, although no less distressing, for example the Falklands War, two Gulf wars, N. Ireland, peacekeeping duties for the UN, Afghanistan and Iraq. Being at war is horrible. It is degrading for all sides. It encourages hatred. It is wasteful of human life. It destroys in days and weeks what has taken years, decades or centuries to build. Not only is property destroyed, so are civilisations. Nobody is saying that war is right. Some would go so far as to say war is always wrong. Wars are begun for a variety of reasons and not always from the best or most noble of motives. If nations go to war, it is usually less because they feel it is right, more that it is less wrong than the alternatives. Sometimes the decision to stop the war or withdraw from the conflict is determined by the number of lives lost, or public opinion, rather than because of objectives achieved. 12 Focal Point, November 2017 No side ever has all the right. In war, all sides are responsible in one degree or another for crimes against humanity. War is like that. It is degrading and demeaning. And when the fighting stops and the peace begins, the problems to be over- come - although different - are just as great, if not greater than before. And forgiveness is required. In the sermon on the mount, Jesus didn’t say, ‘Blessed are the war mongers for they shall conquer the earth’. He said, ‘Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth, and blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the children of God.’ Jesus brought a message from God of peace and reconciliation between God and humanity. The intention is that the human race should extend that peace and reconciliation to each other. We are called to love God and one another. In the Lord’s Prayer we pray ‘forgive us, as we forgive others’. God’s kingdom is without conflict, it is not his intention that we should have wars. Sadly we do. As Christians, we have not yet reached that state of perfection that we are sinless, even though we claim God rules in our lives. That is why we have to ask each other and God for forgiveness. We wear poppies and have a Remembrance Service each year as we remember those who have died for the freedom of others. We also remember that we need God’s forgiveness and strength to make good our imperfections and enable us to be His disciples and live in peace with each other individually, locally, nationally and internationally.

  • The Skidmore and Scudamore Families of Frampton Cotterell, Gloucestershire 1650-1915
    Skidmore (Scudamore) Families of Frampton Cotterell Linda Moffatt © 2015 THE SKIDMORE AND SCUDAMORE FAMILIES OF FRAMPTON COTTERELL, GLOUCESTERSHIRE 1650-1915 by Linda Moffatt © 2015 1st edition 2012, published at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com 2nd edition 2015, published at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com This is a work in progress. The author is pleased to be informed of errors and to receive additional information for consideration for future updates at [email protected] This file was last updated by Linda Moffatt on 8 March 2016. DATES Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS Databases of all known Skidmore and Scudamore bmds can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com PROBATE A list of all known Skidmore and Scudamore wills - many with full transcription or an abstract of its contents - can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com in the file Skidmore/Scudamore One-Name Study Probate.
