Today is the Diocesan-wide commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the martyrdom of Jonathan Myrick Daniels , who was gunned down in 1965 in Alabama as he protected a young black girl from a shotgun blast. Bishop Johnston has specifically requested that parishes observe this day on August 16th. Find more information online, particularly in the email newsletter for Sun., Aug. 16 ( http://churchsp.org/email20150816)
Today’s hymns— The opening hymn is a paraphrase of today’s gospel, The Magnificat, which provided inspiration to Jonathan Daniels as he worked for freedom and justice for all during the Civil Rights Movement. The hymn of praise calls us to rejoice as we go through life following the way of the cross. “If you believe and I believe,” a prayer of trust in God and hope for freedom, was sung by prisoners in South Africa during the days of apartheid. The communion hymn reflects on God’s call for each of us, and contains this particularly fitting phrase, “I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone.” The closing hymn is particularly fitting for Jonathan. He considered himself a “soldier of the cross” and did not shy away from the dangers he faced in the ministry to which God called him.

Jonathan Myrick Daniels (1939-1965)
“Somebody must visit the sick, and the lonely, and the frightened, and the sorrowing. Somebody must comfort the discouraged, and argue lovingly and convincingly with the anguished doubter. Somebody must remind the sick soul that healing is within his grasp and urge him to take the medicine when his disease seems more attractive. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send ? And who will go for us?’ Then said I, ‘Here am I. Send me.’ " –Jonathan M. Daniels – Sermon St. James Episcopal, Keene, NH
