Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

I was in the Channel Islands earlier this week, giving a speech at St Brelade in Jersey. It overlooks a lovely bay, where an arc of golden sand meets the turquoise sea, and even in mid March it feels like spring has arrived in all its fullness. Early in the morning I went for a walk, and found at the northern end of the bay the ancient parish church, surrounded by graves of fishermen and farmers outside, the gentry commemorated by memorial tablets inside. Typical of an English parish, until you notice the names are French and many of the inscriptions too, for this not England, it is the Bailiwick of Jersey.

Μύ

Next to the church is a little chapel, the fisherman’s chapel the porter at the hotel told me, plain and simple but very beautiful. A lit candle and a sign invited visitors to pray for Ukraine. so I did. And it occurred to me that people in Jersey praying for Ukraine do so with a certain affinity; for the Channel Islands suffered an occupation too in the 1940s, by an aggressive and ruthless power, Hitler’s Germany. Perhaps they pray more fervently here, with its atrocities still, just, in living memory? They certainly would know better than most what it is like to be occupied, and what strength and comfort faith can bring.ΜύΜύβ€œYour prayers for Ukraine are useless,” someone said to me recently. I reminded him that the people of Ukraine, who pray daily amid exploding shells in Kyiv and Mariupol and Kharkiv, have asked for our prayers and are grateful for them. Where did he live? Guildford.Μύ

Μύ

But it is not only strength and consolation that faith offers. In the graveyard at Brelade there’s a monument to the German soldiers who were buried there during the occupation.ΜύΜύThey’ve since been exhumed and re-buried in France, but nonetheless the early blooming roses that grow there now are nourished by Germans and Jerseymen equally. History turns, politics shift, tyrants fall, and in God’s eternity our common identity, as brothers and sisters, transcends our differences. When this war is over, and I hope and pray aggression checked and independence restored, on battlefields where the blood of Ukrainians and Russians was spilled, roses will again bloom, the beauty of God’s creation restored among the craters and wreckage of war.
