There were crowds outside: plenty supporting But then The Great War had come, and by 1918 Sir Cecil had come the legislation, plenty opposing. During one to see that the only patriotism worth celebrating was the spirit of self- debate, a small procession had borne a black sacrificing love, as expressed in the cross of Christ. In a speech at coffin into Dean’s Yard proclaiming the death of Ottawa, shortly before he left North America, he said that the Cross the Church of England, should it ordain women was a sign of patience under suffering, but not patience under wrong. as priests. The Cross is the banner under which we fight. We are all subjects of the Prince of Peace, who fought the greatest fight ever fought upon Chairing the Synod, the Archbishop of York, Dr this earth, who won the greatest victory, and won it by his blood.’ John Habgood, invited the Bishop of Guildford, the Rt Revd Michael Adie, to propose the The poem/hymn was the last thing Sir Cecil ever wrote, as he died motion.

Many reports sought to Victor Frankl, a victim of Auschwitz, suggested that the November Crossword most intolerable of all human conditions is not imprisonment or hunger, but lack of meaning. The two minutes silence enables us to connect with Jesus’ message, which offers true meaning to our lives and world. He spoke of giving ourselves in love for each other and the world, ‘Love your enemies and pray for those that persecute you’ (Matthew 5:44). He also demonstrated such love in sacrificing His own life, ‘Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends’ (John 15:13). In observing the silence, let’s use it to reflect on this sacrificial love, as we remember all those who have experienced pain and conflict.
Of course, we should be serious about silence and stillness in the whole of our lives, not just for two minutes at an act of Remembrance. In busy lives where so much is clamouring for our attention, silence enables us to reassess our priorities and rediscover true meaning in our lives. Jesus made a habit of withdrawing to experience silence. He did this before choosing his disciples, after He heard of John’s beheading, after feeding the 5000, after healing a leper, at the Transfiguration and to prepare for His death. ‘The seeking out of solitary places was a regular practice for Jesus. So it should be for us.’ (Richard Foster).

Fawkes was born and educated in York. His father died when Fawkes was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes converted to Catholicism and left for the continent, where he fought in the Eighty Years’ War on the side of Catholic Spain against Protestant Dutch reformers in the Low Countries. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England without success. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England. Wintour introduced Fawkes to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters leased an undercroft beneath the House of Lords, and Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder they stockpiled there. Prompted by the receipt of an anonymous letter, the authorities searched Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November and found Fawkes guarding the explosives. Over the next few days, he was questioned and tortured and eventually confessed. Immediately before his execution on 31 January, Fawkes fell from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of the mutilation that followed. Fawkes became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in Britain since 5 November 1605. His effigy is traditionally burned on a bonfire, commonly accompanied by a fireworks display.
