Religion, Peace and Reconciliation
This
project started in 2006 with colleagues in the Theology and
Religious Studies Section in order to examine methodology for
sustainable and constructive contributions to peace and
reconciliation. The
International Conference on Peace and Reconciliation series has
brought together scholars, religious leaders, policy-makers and
practitioners in York St John University (2006), University of
California in Los Angeles (2009), and Youngnak Presbyterian Church
(2010). The forthcoming conference will take place at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem in November 2012. As a result of previous
conferences, Peace and
Reconciliation: In Search of Shared Identities (Ashgate,
2008) was published and a further three volumes, Building
Communities of Reconciliation: Reflections on the Life and Teaching
of Reverend Kyung-Chik Han; Building Communities of
Reconciliation: Christian Responses to Situations of Conflict;
Building Communities of Reconciliation: Christian Theologies of
Peace and Reconciliation are being prepared. This project has
been led by Professor Sebastian Kim,
Professor Pauline Kollontai, Dr Sue Yore, Greg
Hoyland, Richard Noake, Richard Andrew and Kate Wicker.
