Whose side is God on?

作者:
Real peace will not survive without true reconciliation. And true reconciliation can only begin with sincere apology.

A compelling, courageous and well-written story, with much to say to us here in Northern Ireland. Peter Hannon brings to his writing a vast experience of working for healing and reconciliation, not only here, but for 30 years in Nigeria and South Africa. I have been specially impressed, and indeed challenged, by his persistent .artempts to build relationships across our various divides. His call for personal integrity as basic to social and political life is most relevant. Rev. Ray Davey, Founder of the Corrymeela Community

Peter Hannon tells us in very personal terms the importance not just of talking, but of trying to enter into the feelings and aspirations of those who differ from us; and of forgiveness, the most demanding obligation in the life of a Christian if we wish to be forgiven. A very timely book. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Samuel Poyntz

Peter Hannon has made a significant contribution for our divided community. Is there a peace process at present in Northern Ireland? There is a ceasefire, which we all welcome. But we can wallow in the relative comfort and security, after years of aggression, violence and stress. Real peace will not survive without true reconciliation. And true reconciliation can only begin with sincere apology. We have yet to face the personal humility and discomfort which this requires.

Peter endeavours to describe the direction which he believes our community must travel, and, in the sincerity of his own personal journey, has laid down very significant signposts. Do we have the moral courage to grasp the nettle of true reconciliation before it is too late?  Dr. Raymond McClean, Mayor of Derry, 1973, author of ‘The Road To Bloody Sunday’
