This week's Sermon Questions 8th March 2015: Pressure from destruction Psalm 137

1) Both the Anglican and Roman catholic church have omitted verses 7-9 of Psalm 137 from their liturgy - why do you think this might be, and are they right?
2) Can you empathise with the cries of the heart of the Psalmist in this Psalm?
3) Can you think of modern day situations in the world today where Christians might use this Psalm as their personal and corporate prayer?
4) Can we add deal with destruction/violation to personal faith, homeland and family?
