X. Last Thoughts and Acknowledgments

Christian remembrance is never simply an exercise in nostalgia.
We are to live not in the past but out of a past well remembered into
the future to which God calls us that, in the words of the Easter hymn,
we may soar where Christ has led.”

Bishop Samuel Seabury: Remembrance and Renewal, 1784-1796
