Faith-Based Reconciliation:

About the Book

The faith-based reconciliation process is an innovative approach to diplomacy and peacemaking that has been developed over the past twenty years by Brian Cox who brings together a unique background in politics, theological and pastoral training, conflict resolution and international experience. This approach is defined by eight core values and by a deliberative process that focuses on creating a reconciling spirit between antagonists as a prelude to constructive joint problem solving.

As a methodology it is not a form of interfaith dialogue or a traditional confl ict resolution model. It is a totally unique process that causes participants to search the depths of their own being and to experience at the deepest level the heart of “the other” in a faith-based context. It is Abrahamic reconciliation!
