    Thank you for sharing that podcast. I believe it is a powerful thing when we find the courage and confidence to work with God to transform the inevitable conflicts that happen in our own families, neighbourhoods and churches. The often painful work we do together as we move towards reconciliation and forgiveness brings opportunities for learnings and new understandings. It is a sign of hope in
    our conflicted world, as we demonstrate the real transformation wrought in our own lives by the grace of God. It gives us words of hope to speak into the greater conflicts in the world around us.

    I have committed to a prayer vigil for work in this area, and would like to encourage others to pray as well. I know there are people of different denominations praying along with me, in their own homes, or on line, as we together lift up before God the whole Body of Christ.With warmest blessings, Eleanor Burne-Jones, n/TSSF Penzance, Cornwall UK
