Looking back and planning ahead

Keynote
Rev John Purdy,
Methodist Minister
"The land of Saints and Scholars, Civil War and Semtex - what we might learn from Ireland today."
John ministered to a community in rural Ireland who held stories of intimidation and murder from 80 years before, and now welcomed asylum seekers and refugees with their own trauma.
He will talk about his work for peace, mediation and what he learnt and now brings to work in Sunderland
Workshop
Liddy Buswell,
MPF Coordinator
Building peaceful communities in a divided world
What does it mean to love our neighbour when the world seems filled with hate? What role can the Church play in healing communities? Can what we do locally make a difference in the wider world?
