They Shall Grow Not Old: Liturgies for Remembrance is a unique liturgical resource that includes a wide range of greetings, biddings, sentences, opening prayers, confessions, intercessions, litanies, blessings and Bible readings printed in full, so that clergy and chaplains may create customized services of remembrance according to local need.
In addition it includes the full texts of the services of remembrance authorised or commended for use by the Church of England, the Church of Scotland and Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, and a selection of sample services for a variety of pastoral needs:
- A simple ceremony of remembrance
- A formal ceremony at a war memorial
- A service in church for Remembrance Sunday
- Remembrance within a Eucharistic rite
- A Veterans’ service
- A service of prayer for troops in danger
- A service of prayer for healing and strength.
‘They Shall Grow Not Old is a valuable resource for us as we come together on occasions to remember those who have died in war and acts of violence and terror. I commend it to all who will lead Ceremonies of Remembrance in these fragile times, and to all who believe that remembering the past has its place in the building of a better future.’
David Conner, Bishop to Her Majesty’s Forces
