Murder by Number

A number of people have tried to update the 10 Commandments.  Every version I have ever run across has included some version of the 6th Commandment, 'You shall not kill."  

No doubt this command touches on something very basic. Even primal. 

Recently psychologists have identified "moral injury" in Soldiers who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. This refers to the guilt, regret and sadness felt by soldiers who have done what war forces them to do. It is a heavy burden for the soldiers and their families. As a society that sends people to war and benefits from their service, we have an obligation to help them shoulder this burden.  It is our burden too.

This Sunday we're looking at the 6th Commandment, paying particular attention to Jesus' take on it.
