Here's a blog that will require some input.
The buzz among the senior pastors throughout the country right now is how to acknowledge the 10th year anniversary of 9/11. Some are doing very little thinking that to go overboard continues to dredge up the past, create more bitterness and perpetuates hatred. They will light a candle and acknowledge it within the prayers.
Others are going all out with testimonies of surviving family members and soldiers returning from the battlefield. This is a significant event in our country's recent history, they argue, in terms of lives lost, an attack on American soil and a ten year war on terrorism. To let it slip would be a mistake.
Some of it depends on where you live. Certainly those in New York or with a membership filled with military members, 9/11 will have heightened awareness.
How about you. To what extent do you think we ought to acknowledge 9/11 at Christ Lutheran?
Peace,
Pastor Scott
