O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with thee The silence of eternity, Interpreted by love! Drop thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace. Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness and thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still small voice of calm! Words: John Whittier (1807-92) Tune: Repton C. Hubert H. Parry (1848-1918) Bidding given by The Right Reverend Graeme Knowles, Dean We gather in this Cathedral today to remember before God all who died in the atrocities in New York,Washington and Pennsylvania ten years ago and to pray with those whose lives were changed forever on that day. We also remember those innocent people who, in our lifetime, have had their lives taken from them through acts of terrorism in the cities of our world. We remember too with pride and gratitude the men and women who serve in the Emergency Services of this and every nation, giving thanks for their courage when facing unknown perils and their sacrifice made to save others in danger.We particularly remember those firefighters who lost their lives in defence of this Nation and City of London in the Second World War, as well as those who have lost their lives in responding to other terrorist attacks. 4 ’Remembering with Hope’ - 11 September 2011.qxd 06/09/2011 15:16 Page 5 We come as people from many backgrounds to pray for the future security of our world, for a spirit of tolerance and mutual respect, for peace and freedom, for justice and the rule of law, that together we might go forward with confidence and hope. We join our thoughts and prayers with those of people around the world, and particularly on this day with those who have gathered for remembrance in Pennsylvania, in Washington and especially at Ground Zero in New York. In sorrow, we pray for those places where there is no peace and for all who suffer as a result of violence and discord. In penitence, we reflect on the destructiveness of ancient enmity and bitterness which persists in the conflicts of our day. In hopefulness, let us promise to overcome all that still separates us from one another, to recognise and to draw out the best from our respective traditions. So, in friendship, let us commit ourselves to bring healing and transformation to the world, and to foster a common vision of peace, as we pray together in the words Jesus gave us: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen. Sit Reflection given by Courtney Cowart, Survivor of 9/11 5 ’Remembering with Hope’ - 11 September 2011.qxd 06/09/2011 15:16 Page 6 Anthem In paradisum deducant angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere, aeternam habeas requiem. May the angels receive you in paradise; at your coming may the martyrs receive you, and bring you into the holy City,Jerusalem. There may the choir of angels receive you; and with Lazarus, once a beggar, may you have eternal rest. Words: from the Requiem Mass Music: Messe de Requiem Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) Act of Remembrance led by The Dean Peter McCollough, Lay Canon Time is too short for those who wait. Too swift for those who fear. Too long for those who grieve, Too short for those who rejoice. But for those who love, time is eternity. Words: Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933) 6 ’Remembering with Hope’ - 11 September 2011.qxd 06/09/2011 15:16 Page 7 A bell is rung and then a candle lit by ten year old Rebecca Goldrup from the American community in London, in remembrance of those who died in the terrorist attacks in the United States of America, ten years ago.

With joys we long to share and in sorrow we bear alone; in work we have to do and with life we have to give: We remember them. In treasured memories of the past and during days to come: We remember them. In all that they achieved and for all that might have been: at the dawn of day and in the setting sun: We remember them.

    Westminster Abbey A SERVICE TO MARK THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 ON AWARENESS SUNDAY Sunday 11th September 2011 6.30 pm Today we commemorate the tragic events in the United States that happened 10 years ago exactly, 11th September 2001, the day universally known as 9/11. Organised terrorists attacks took place in New York, Washington DC, and in Pennsylvania, with two passenger aeroplanes being flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre. The structures collapsed and hundreds of innocent people were killed— people of all races, nations, and religions. The loss of life was catastrophic and the aftermath for the survivors traumatic in the extreme. A poignant symbol of the tragedy was the total destruction of St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at the street level of the World Trade Centre. A lifeline for immigrants arriving from Greece, the church had been a testimony to the American dream, its faith, and its faithfulness to the pledge of liberty and justice for all people. In spite of the horror, the response to unfolding events from both the emergency services and the people of the local community was instant, and many risked their lives for the sake of others. St Paul’s Episcopal Chapel immediately became the beacon of hope for the traumatised people of New York and remains a place of prayer and remembrance as thousands visit the site year after year. A memorial to the events of 9/11 is now being created at the site of the former World Trade Centre, an area now known as ‘Ground Zero’.

  • Coming in November: the Rev
    Coming in November: The Rev. Nadim Nassar Returns to St. Paul’s Church Syrian-born Episcopal priest Nadim Nassar returns to St. Paul’s to preach and teach — and to enlighten us on being Christians in a world with confusion about Islam and Judaism. Nadim has lately been at Trinity Wall Street and on Fox News. At St. Paul’s he will preach and teach on All Saints’ Sunday, November 3. A special Evensong that afternoon is followed by a fundraising dinner for Nadim’s international ministries — see www.awareness-foundation.co.uk. The mission of the organization is to empower Christians everywhere to be a counter force of love and peace to the intolerance and aggression that now prevail in so many of our communities. Nadim is the Director and co-founder of the Awareness Foundation, and co-author of the Awareness Course. He established the Awareness Foundation in 2003 with Bishop Michael Marshall in response to the growing need to study the Christian faith in the context of the 21st century. He is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland’s Inter Faith Theo- logical Advisory Group, the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on International Religious Freedom, and he advises the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Nadim Nassar lectures, speaks and teaches in the Middle East, Europe and the US; he leads diocesan conferences in the US, UK and Hong Kong. Nadim was born and raised in Lattakia, Syria and he is the only Syrian priest in the Church of England. He has lectured in different universities in London, including the American Intercontinental University where he taught world religions, and London Guildhall University where he developed the ‘Faith and Citizenship’ seminar.

It is being sponsored by the Awareness Foundation whose patron is The Archbishop of Canterbury. The Foundationʼs Director, the Revd Nadim Nassar, said, “Through education, Awareness Sunday can play a part in ending all kinds of violence in the name of religion; it is about loving your neighbour as yourself, whatever their faith or worldview.” He said his hopes were that “Awareness Sunday begins a dialogue that can deepen oneʼs own faith and bring awareness of the faith of others. It is a path to peace”. Nadim Nassar is the only Syrian-born priest in the Church of England and is a frequent voice in the media dealing with the current complex Middle East scenario. This resource has drawn on materials presented on the Foundationʼs web site. To these have been added other resources which were composed and created after 9/11 or to mark anniversaries since then. On 11th September 2011 there will be a service, “Vespers of Peace”, at Westminster Abbey, which will be open to the public.
