This past Saturday morning I got up early during my off time to attend a session led by Lord John Alderdice. He spoke elequently on his experiences and what he has learned from those experiences. John touched on the role of religion in Northern Ireland challenging the religious communities to be more concerned about being prophetic unto its own community and less concerned about presenting its own troubles to the public. John emphasized in his stories the importance of providing hope, respect and a space to speak and to listen.Above is a photo of myself and Lord John Alderdice at Corrymeela.
