The Rev Dr Johnston McMaster will deliver a lecture on ‘Faith as a Radical Ethic of Political Reconciliation’ on Friday 21 November at 7 pm at Edgehill Theological College, 9 Lennoxvale in Belfast.
McMaster is sure to provide plenty of food for thought for those pondering how their faith can make a difference in Northern Ireland’s somewhat stalled, and rather messy, post-violence transition.
The official screening of the animated film Choose, which was produced by the Edgehill Reconciliation Programme, will also take place.
Refreshments will be offered before the lecture starts. You can RSVP to Ashleigh Hunter on 028 9066 5870 or office@edgehillcollege.org.
An ordained minister in the Methodist Church in Ireland, McMaster was a lecturer and co-ordinator of the Irish School of Ecumenics’ adult education programme, Education for Reconciliation, which was wound down after a 15-year run. This programme was located within the Belfast campus of Trinity College Dublin, the Irish School of Ecumenics, where I also work on the Master’s in Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation.
