The Corrymeela Community is a
residential centre on the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland founded in 1965 as a
Christian centre for reconciliation in Ireland. Its logo describes it now as:
'Committed to reconciliation in Ireland and throughout the world'. Their
experience has much to teach us about conflict resolution and living with
difference. For further information, please visit www.corrymeela.org
Justice, Peace & Reconciliation: Corrymeela Conference & Worship - Exeter 14/15 March 2009
"Peace is the gift of Christ, which he obtained for us with the sacrifice of the Cross. To achieve it effectively it is necessary to climb with the divine Teacher up to Calvary. And who can guide us better in this ascent than Mary who, as she stood at the foot of the Cross, was given to us as our mother through the faithful apostle, St John". - Pope John Paul II (Palm Sunday, 2003)
When we have Justice and Peace, we will have "Law and Order" a popular political goal!
Scripture
Reading for Monday of Holy Week 2009. Is 42:1-7
Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased,
Upon whom I have put my Spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations,
Not crying out, not shouting, not making his voice heard in the street. A
bruised reed he shall not break, and a smouldering wick he shall not quench,
Until he establishes justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait for his
teaching.
Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who
spreads out the earth with its crops, Who gives breath to its people
and spirit to those who walk on it: I, the LORD, have called you for the victory
of justice, I have grasped you by the hand;
I formed you, and set you as a covenant of the people, a light for the nations,
To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement,
and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.
"No,
no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down
like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream."
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968, American Civil Rights leader, Nobel
Prize winner, 1964)

This page awaiting further content "Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty."
