Druid you agree?<BR/><BR/>Lectionary - 13 December 2007<BR/>Luke tells us of Christ’s preparation for the day of Unleavened Bread. In remembering His celebration of Passover and the sacrificial lamb I propose that we also remember the 70th Anniversary of The Rape of Nangking. In this event, brought to you by the Imperial Forces of Japan, 369,366 civilians and prisoners of war were slaughtered. Thousands of victims were beheaded, burned, bayoneted, buried alive, or disemboweled.<BR/> <BR/>I am only offering this in case Luke can’t stand alone.<BR/><BR/>TroglodyteusTroglodyteushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857794477598373164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-11081197993399459362007-08-13T20:36:00.000-04:002007-08-13T20:36:00.000-04:00Trog,December 13 is an open day in the Second Week...Trog,<BR/><BR/>December 13 is an open day in the Second Week of Advent. It's St. Lucy's Day in Scandinavia, and it is the winter solstice as well. Did you have something in particular in mind?<BR/><BR/>RFSJRFSJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164772153139719659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-45916869568882431092007-08-13T19:04:00.000-04:002007-08-13T19:04:00.000-04:00Interesting.

Many feel it would have been wiser to invade the home islands of Japan, which almost certainly would have resulted in the destruction of the Japanese culture. <BR/><BR/>I wonder what you will commemorate on 13 December.<BR/><BR/>TroglodyteusTroglodyteushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857794477598373164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-50115004827360477142007-08-10T11:16:00.000-04:002007-08-10T11:16:00.000-04:00Trog,At the Transfiguration, the face of Jesus was...Trog,<BR/><BR/>At the Transfiguration, the face of Jesus was transfigured into that of God's glory. On 8/6/1945, we humans transfigured the face of the earth into a molten glass and radioactive waste. On the same day, we get a glimpse of the face of God, and of the face of evil.<BR/>RFSJRFSJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164772153139719659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-16222088736968136672007-08-08T10:54:00.000-04:002007-08-08T10:54:00.000-04:00Please clarify the relevance of the bombing of Hir...<I>Please clarify the relevance of the bombing of Hiroshima to The major Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord. Upon which should we meditate?</I><BR/><BR/>Perhaps we should meditate on the contrast between the two things? And perhaps we should commemorate the lives of 125,000 human beings who died on that day, the way we commemorate the lives of the people who died in New York on September 11? And all soldiers on Memorial Day? I don't know about you, but we have special commemoration for those days every year.blshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627725321531151309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-53560821023968413622007-08-05T20:43:00.000-04:002007-08-05T20:43:00.000-04:00Please clarify the relevance of the bombing of Hir...Please clarify the relevance of the bombing of Hiroshima to The major Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord.
