Journeys of Faith & Reconciliation: Belfast, Ireland
|
Overview
An ecumenical travel seminar to Belfast that explores “the Troubles” of Northern Ireland and how the people of Belfast have worked toward peace and reconciliation. This program is currently on hiatus. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear directly from former combatants as well as survivors of this violent period in their region's history. We will learn what their lives were like then and why, since that time, they have chosen to use the political process to manage their conflicts. Guided by the Rev. Dr. Gary Mason, we will explore how we can apply the lessons of Belfast to the conflicts we face today.

The practice of peace and reconciliation is one of the most vital and artistic of human actions. |
