Churches meet UVF political representatives

Submitted by aquinn on Fri, 29/10/2010 - 13:48

Interested to read in todays press that local clergy from the Rathcoole area have met with PUP representatives after the trouble that occurred there this week.

Interesting because the church appears to have been the first group to meet with these representatives and discuss the issues.

Interesting because yesterdays Irish News had an an article titled "What clergy say publicly can contribute to reconciliation"

Goodbye

Submitted by aquinn on Thu, 22/04/2010 - 14:24

Just had my last meeting of the IPC coordinators and I can only say that after twelve years working within the sector, this is the biggest innovation in peace building that I've come across. It has huge potential for growth, development and impact, both a local and an international level. Not that the idea of working in partnership is anything new but the learning that has come about by working closely with other peace building organisations has been immense. I just hope everyone else shares my views.

Disturber of the Peace

Submitted by aquinn on Thu, 08/04/2010 - 12:14

At IPCs recent Prejudice and Pride Conference, Speaker Bernadette McAliskey referred to herself as a "Disturber of the Peace". This term raises questions about whos peace is being disturbed, or why some people feel the peace needs to be disturbed. A copy of Bernadettes article was published in The Irish News on 30th March 2010 and a summary is attached. Comments welcome
