Corrymeela: Search for Peace - Softcover

Alf McCreary is a leading Irish journalist who received two of the highly-prized British National Press Awards for 'his moving and illuminating commen- tary on Northern Ireland'. As a staff writer on the Belfast Telegraph, he is well placed to assess the contribution of Irish Christians to the developing crisis. This is his first book on Irish affairs.
Corrymeela is the story of a candle flickering in the darkness of Ireland where, for generations, men and women of two great Christian traditions have fought and killed one another, often in the name of God as well as of man.
Corrymeela is a light of a different kind. It is the Christianity that knows no barriers, that reaches across to the darkest corners of the religious divide.
Corrymeela is the story of humble beginnings when a group of university students and helpers formed a Community on the rugged and beautiful North coast of Ireland. Its growth to international status, with local involvement against the background of civil war, is a moving, sometimes amusing, but always inspiring story.
'...I count it a privilege to commend this book'. The Archbishop of Canterbury.
