| Résumé: | This book was launched on a Saturday in December 2011 at Clonard Monastery in Belfast, the site where some of the most significant behind-the-scenes steps in Northern Ireland's peace process were mediated by the Redemptorist priest Fr Alec Reid. Two of the authors reiterated what they had written in the book's introduction: that the story of Christian peacemakers “deserves honour” and that they “feel privileged to tell it” (xvi). Several leading Christian peacemakers expressed their thankfulness for the book., So I was taken aback when, the next morning, Northern Ireland's most popular religious radio program, BBC's Sunday Sequence, featured a panel discussion of the book in which various prominent Christian peacemakers criticized and in some cases roundly denounced its contents. |
