At the Reformation, the people were encouraged to join in daily worship in their parish churches, and the 1564 book of Common Order made provision for daily services.
Pastoral letter <strong>April</strong> 2018 Arnaud Beltrame, a lieutenant-colonel in the gendarmerie and deputy commander of the anti-terror police squad in the Aude region of Southern France died a hero after being shot in the throat during a terrorist siege in a supermarket in the small town of Trèbes towards the end of last month. Lieutenant-Colonel Beltrame had taken the place of a woman hostage during the siege. She escaped unhurt while he sacrificed his life to ensure her safety. It was a remarkable act of heroism by a man who already had a distinguished record in the service of his country, including a bravery award while serving in the French military police in Iraq, and in 2012 he was knighted in the Legion of Honour. Arnaud Beltrame was a remarkably courageous man. The Trèbes terrorist attack took place just a matter of days before the start of Holy Week, the most poignant, emotionally-charged period in the Christian year as, with the whole Church, we journey as pilgrims together through the hours and days that lead to the arrest, trial and crucifixion of Jesus … and then gloriously to the Resurrection. The circumstances of Lt-Col Beltrame’s tragic death provide a stark reminder that human beings are capable of the most noble behaviour in the service of one another, and though it may argued that his actions arose out of his strong sense of duty as well as his professional training, we must surely believe that he was moved also by profound compassion when he witnessed the horrifying plight of fellow human beings finding themselves at the mercy of a heavily armed extremist. As Jesus lived through those fateful hours leading up to his death on the cross he had the strongest possible sense of purpose: this was the ministry of salvation and redemption for which he had come into the world, and his unfailing faith in his heavenly Father enabled the act of sacrificial love that mere words can never describe. At the very heart of Jesus’ ministry was, and is, grace, mercy and compassion that are without limit. Arnaud Beltrame was indeed a remarkably courageous man and his actions will long be remembered not just in the small, peaceful town where the atrocities took place, but across France and far beyond. Thankfully few if any of us will be faced with demands of our courage and compassion as extreme as those that confronted Beltrame, but in this Easter season when Christ’s sacrifice has been our focus in worship and in life we are conscious that sacrificial love and compassion are required of all who bear the name of Jesus Christ. With all my love, Calum.
