Global in scope, but homing in on the role ordinary people play in conflict and division. Reconciliation enables Christians to engage confidently in a ministry bequeathed to us by Christ himself. The book issues a vibrant call to the Church to support and strengthen, relationships among church members, to cross borders to build connections with different denominations; and to maintain open attitudes towards our neighbours from other religions and ideologies: Forty biblically based meditations introduce topics such as impediments to reconciliation, risking the self, humility and self-criticism, radical openness to the other and peace with justice, Questions for reflection are included, making Reconciliation suitable for use at weekly gatherings or for everyday devotion during Lent.
