On the Road of Reconciliation: A Brief Memoir

In this memoir John Morrow, a retired minister of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, traces some of the experiences of his life and ministry through which he began to learn, reflect and attempt to live out an ecumenical ministry of reconciliation. It begins with some of the formative influences of his youth when he grew up on a farm in north Down where there was close contact with Protestant and Catholic neighbours. It also covers his minsitry of building community in housing estates, encountering the first signs of the Troubles, and the formation and development of the Corrymeela Community. It includes cross-cultural work with students in Glasgow and the discovery of ‘the other Ireland’ during a five-year spell in Dublin.
