A
message of Peace and remembrance issued by OSMTH and representative Christian
Fellowship of the Independent Old Catholic Church.
God
created man in His own image. Man is limitless in variety. He is formed in many
shades and sizes, but he is still the same human creation of God, and those who
lay claim to superiority in any form or kind, surely do not recognise God as the
creator of all people.
The
holocaust teaches us that pure hatred, evil and insanity guised as political
ideology had, as its very end, men women and children burned, gassed,
experimented on and tortured in ways we dare not think. For five and a half
years, 3000 Jews were murdered every single day by an unrelenting evil that did
not discriminate between a baby or an old man, evil without conscience that
defined a whole race as so subhuman, it could be humiliated and annihilated in
the most crudest of ways, an evil whose perpetrators did not pause for breath
long enough to question the morality and the insanity of its crimes, crimes
against people, crimes against God.
The
holocaust teaches us about the depths that man is capable of.
OSMTH
Magistral Grand Prior of the Holy Lands, Most Reverend Archbishop
Gary Beaver stated that “It is the duty of every human being to think deeply
about their actions. Anything styled to focus negatively on differences such as
race, creed, or colour from play ground bullying to “sophisticated” bigotry,
must not be tolerated. Little seeds of hate, on fertile ground can grow and
choke all that is good”
In remembering the Shoah, we must as Christians remember and understand the Jewish roots of our faith, and build relations without man made boundaries, relationships that will withstand any form of prejudice and intolerance.
