Download or read book Belfast a City with a Wounded Heart Hope of Redemption written by Iva Beranek and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spirituality of reconciliation is an under- researched field in Northern Ireland, though many books have been written from other perspectives. Iva Beranek focuses mostly on God's promise of a new heart (Ezek 36:26) and its relevance for places like Belfast that carry 'a wounded heart'. The author provides a clear biblical basis for engaged spirituality in places of conflict, and shows that the Christian spiritual tradition is life-giving in challening situations. "This book arises from an unshakeable conviction that from the long wounded history of Belfast a new story of hope is emerging. Through witnesses from different denominations - Fr. Troy and Rev. Trevor Williams, from other voices of faith, and from the author herself is woven an inspirational spirituality of reconciliation, both heart-felt and poetic. True to the core of the Gospel, Iva Beranek discerns that from the long experience of fear, hatred and suffering, the city is awakening to a new story, giving birth to love and freedom." Prof. Mary Grey, Professorial Research Fellow, InSpiRe, Centre for Initiatives in Spirituality and Reconciliation, St. Mary's University College, Twickenham, London
Download or read book Ardoyne 69 written by Brian McKee and published by Red Stripe Press. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A crucial text” – Rev Bill Shaw, CEO of 174 Trust, Belfast “Touching … thoughtful collection … of rich testimonies” – Prof Maggie Scull, Syracuse University, London The working-class community of Ardoyne has been described as a Catholic and Nationalist island within the Protestant Unionist sea of North Belfast. No other community suffered as much during the Troubles as Ardoyne. During the three-day period of 14–16 August 1969, stoked by the Battle of the Bogside in Derry, long-lived tensions in the area boiled over into riots. Streets became battlefields, houses went up in fire, and the first of many lives were lost. Ardoyne ’69: Stories of Struggle and Hope explores the stories of 14 people who share one experience in common – the violence of 14, 15 and 16 August 1969. The book highlights their memories, but also asks how they interpreted the violent events they witnessed, and what impact these events had upon their subsequent lives. It illustrates how people from the one community who experienced a common event have different memories, interpretations and reactions to what they saw. Stories come from people as varied as IRA prisoners and a local teacher to an RUC officer, an Irish Times journalist, a former Director General of RTE and a former President of Ireland. Illustrated by contemporary photographs, Ardoyne ’69: Stories of Struggle and Hope is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how seismic events can shape our lives in radically different ways. Brian McKee is an Ardoyne man to the core. He has almost 40 years’ experience of teaching, retreat work and youth ministry. The majority of his work is in the field of peace and reconciliation in the parish of Holy Cross, Ardoyne, with the Passionist Peace Office. He is also manager of the nearby Passionist Retreat and Conference Centre at Tobar Mhuire, Crossgar.

Download or read book Hope Against History written by Jack Holland and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 1999-08-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Northern Ireland, the conflicting claims and aspirations of Catholic and Protestant, nationalist and unionist, republican and loyalist grate against each other, at each turn escalating the potential for renewed death and destruction. Hope for a peaceful future is not enough to cont with history. In Ulster, history has vanquished hope so often that it seems an act of folly to expect it to be otherwise. Until recently, the crisis in Northern Ireland was deemed a problem without a solution. Now that the major antagonists have agreed to work for peace and democracy, it is time for an authoritative assessment of "the troubles" that have plagued Ulster for more than a quarter century. A Belfast product of mixed Catholic and Protestant heritage, Jack Holland is both of and above the fray; he is the writer who has stayed close to the terrorists and antiterrorists of every persuasion since 1966. In this cogent and balanced history, he unravels the complex and often misunderstood story of "the troubles," offering an insightful look at the past, a thorough vision of the present, and a glimpse of what the future may hold.
