Conflict & Resolution - one day event

for 6 hours
St Mary's, East Chinnock

Over decades, St Mary's windows have been an inspiring feature of our village church.They were made and presented by Herr Gunther Anton, a former German POW, as tokens of gratitude for how he was treated by the village, and of reconciliation following the end of WW2.

This one day event draws on these emblems of reconciliation on the ever-relevant topic of conflict and reconciliation.

Speakers and activities include:
JOE CAMPBELL who worked on peacebuilding and reconciliation with Mediation Northern Ireland during 'the Troubles';
ALICE FARNHILL from the Community of the Cross of Nails founded by Coventry Cathedral after the city's WW2 bombing;
A session in the afternoon led by DR DIANE SUMMER from East Chinnock, looking at reconciliation in our everyday lives.
