Corrymeela: A Ministry of Reconciliation Amidst Fractured Communities in Northern Ireland and Beyond

Although Pádraig Ó Tuama was not able to stay for his events with the Centre, he kindly recorded this lecture for us to share. Many thanks Pádraig!

Pádraig is a former leader of Corrymeela, and in this lecture he discusses the conflict in and about Northern Ireland. Corrymeela's mission addresses the human tendency to divide the world into 'them' and 'us.'
