Communication and Reconciliation: Challenges Facing the 21st Century - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Reconciliation - the heart-felt restoration of person to person, people to people, and all to God - is as central to the Christian message as it is sorely needed in today's world. The stories in this book come from all over the globe: India, where Hindus and Christians urgently need to embrace a "culture of dialogue", and where words alone have not been enough for reconciliation between untouchables and upper castes; Argentina, where the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo paid the cost to communicate truly about the military dictatorship and the missing persons; Estonia, where understanding the role of one's mother tongue has been essential to promoting communication between Estonians and Russophones; Canada, where sensitivity is critical for reconciliation between First Nations peoples and the churches. Again and again a picture of communication with a human face emerges - one that genuinely cares for the "other" as one's neighbour.
