Renewing The Work Of Reconciliation, Part 5 (Program)

People often use the word, “reconciliation,” and our Scriptures tell us that, through Christ, we have been “reconciled to God” and given the “ministry of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:18​). But what does reconciliation mean and what does it involve? In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, reconciliation was understood to be a way for communities to acknowledge and address past harms and injustice in order to walk into a new future together. Drawing from this past work, we have asked faith leaders to offer what they believe is the meaning and work of reconciliation today.
