Be Reconciled is a Gospel initiative to resource and empower the local Church in Northern Ireland in peacemaking.
Be Reconciled is a Gospel initiative to resource and empower the local Church in Northern Ireland in peacemaking. It is a contextual response to our troubled communities centred on the reconciling message of the Gospel. At the heart of the Gospel is a gift of reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. Be Reconciled is a six week resource designed to be delivered in a small group setting using the downloadable handbook and videos below.
For those who accept this gift, there is a responsibility to live in new and reconciled relationships, not only with God, but also with their neighbours and even their enemies. The Church in Northern Ireland must give context to the Gospel by playing its part in societal healing. In a culture emerging from conflict, death, and broken relationships, the local church points to the life changing message of the Gospel. It’s a message of peace, life, and a new relationship with God and others enabled and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
While Be Reconciled was developed specifically for the Church in Northern Ireland, it has been used with some adjustments, in other places and contexts where the church has a key role to play in community reconciliation.
This resource was developed in partnership with Rev. Catherine Simpson and in consultation with local church leaders.
