When I was a mere undergraduate at Columbia, I regularly attended St. John the Divine Cathedral on Sundays. The most thrilling part of the service, to me, was when the ceremonial trumpets of the pipe organ sounded at the Offertory.

The organ was seriously damaged by the fire in December 2001 that gutted the transept. Well, the building is almost restored, and so is the pipe organ. If you have a chance, and you're in New York on a Sunday, do go to St. John the Divine to hear the instrument that so thrilled me in 1972.

In the United Kingdom the Sunday closest to November 11th is kept as Remembrance Sunday, like Memorial Day in the United States. We remember those who have served in the Armed Forces, those who died and those who survived. It is my privilege to preach at St. John's tomorrow on this day. I will put my sermon behind a cut.

Read the sermon behind the cut... )
