One of our CCN partners,
a military chaplaincy in the
Netherlands wrote,
“We realize how special it is to pray
the Litany in a military area. It is
extraordinary to pray for the coming
of his peaceable Kingdom, wearing
a military uniform! We wish to be
a part of the CCN as network of
Churches and Christian organisations
who share a common commitment to
work and pray for peace, justice and
reconciliation, inspired by the story of
Coventry Cathedral.”
In a recent interview, Archbishop
of Canterbury Justin Welby said,
“It’s the desire of my heart to find ways
in which we can transform destructive
violent conflict into peaceful
disagreement and diversity. So I carry
with me in my mind the image of
Christ in glory behind the high altar
at Coventry and in my heart there is
that memory of sitting in my stall at
evensong on the days before I travelled
to somewhere dangerous and difficult
feeling sick and frightened and looking
at the man standing between the feet
of Jesus – overshadowed by (despite
being unable to see) the Christ who
protected him.”
