Saturday the 14th of November marks the 86th anniversary of the Coventry Blitz of 1940, a night which saw devastation across Coventry and saw the destruction of the Cathedral Church of St. Michael.
In the aftermath of that terrible night there were two choices - revenge or forgiveness. Provost Howard’s response to the destruction of the Cathedral was one of immediate forgiveness and of rebuilding the Cathedral as a beacon of hope for the future, a message which continues to this day.
As we look to the past to look forward, our story of reconciliation is as relevant today as it was 86 years ago. We are actively working both globally and at the grassroots for peace.
So, what does reconciliation look like now, in a world marked by war, division, injustice and uncertainty? This November, our Season of Reconciliation programme invites us to explore these questions.
Join us for sermons, lectures and conversations, explore our programme below.
