| Summary: | This article encompasses narratives about eight Christian Ambassadors of Reconciliation who are working to heal hurts and build hope in diverse regions and contexts of the world. Each reconciler has built relational bridges across painful divides, which include those in Northern Ireland between Protestants and Catholics, and the British and Catholics; in Rwanda between the Hutus and Tutsis; in the United States between whites and blacks, between the economically disadvantaged in the Appalachian region and those with resources to give, and between a culture of violence and advocates for peace; and in India between children of prisoners and ingrained social prejudice. These stories reveal the importance of identifying and using transferable principles in the ministry of reconciliation. |
