EDITORIAL: SPRING FEVER SPRING is in the air – there are signs of new life all around. Pages 4 and 5 explain more about our own organisational re-birth as the Centre for Contemporary Christianity in Ireland. This is the first official publication under our new name. lion&lamb will still be sticking around to inspire, inform and provoke discussion on the pressing issues of the day. If you would like to contribute on a subject close to your heart, do get in touch. This issue seeks to shed some new light on that old chestnut, Reconciliation. Michael Whitley sets out some of his questions, starting with ‘What is reconciliation?’ Johnston McMaster gives us a wider context in which to consider our responses. Ten years on from the Rwandan genocide Earl Storey reflects on the legacy; Katharine and Russell Norton tell their story of one Anglo-Irish relationship which has not been afraid to take on some of the ghosts of the past; and David Chillingworth describes how the Church of Ireland is seeking to deal with difference, both institutionally and at a parish level. This time we have not one but two interviews, with not one but two Primates of All-Ireland. We are grateful to both Archbishops of Armagh for offering us their thoughts on the current state of reconciliation in our society and their hopes for the future. Maria Power looks back at the role ECONI has played in developing church-based peacebuilding on our island; while Patrick Mitchel looks to the future and asks, ‘Are evangelism and reconciliation irreconcilable?’ If you saw the film ‘The Passion of the Christ’ last year, or even if you didn’t, John Kiess suggests you rent Dogville this Easter and put the coffee on to brew for some late night discussion on the issues it raises. Drew Gibson begins a new Bible study series with ‘Blessed are the peacemakers?’ All this plus the usual book review section; it’s a packed issue. I hope you enjoy it. Due to a huge response to our last edition on Racism the full print-run of 3,000 magazines is now exhausted, though you can still access that edition online from our archive. lionandlamb@contemporarychristianity.org is the new email address for comments and contributions.
