Our partners
Our three guiding principles are Healing the wounds of history, Learning to live with difference and celebrate diversity, and Building a culture of peace. We are guided by the words ‘Father Forgive’, and we pray the Litany of Reconciliation on a regular basis.
See our CCN Partner list (active partners as of May 2022) and CCN Friends (less active, more historic partners).
Today, our greatest numbers of partners are in Germany, the UK & Ireland and the USA, but we also have sizeable numbers in South Africa, Canada, the Netherlands and Central and Eastern Europe; overall, we have partners in 45 countries across five continents. Different partners may focus on political, racial, religious, social or economic reconciliation; they may address war and violent conflict, post conflict restoration or healing; their work can have broad and far-reaching, national or regional consequences, or it can seek to address local communities specifically. Partners support one another, pray for one another and share their stories with one another.
Each September we have a dedicated day of celebrating our Community on CCN Sunday - in 2022, on 25th September. It’s an opportunity for all worship communities involved with the CCN to pray together as one body in their morning service, and a chance for us all to reconnect our communities with why the CCN matters, why Coventry still inspires, and where the parallels with our own stories lie. A different region of the CCN leads each time: this year it will be the turn of our South African partners. See last year's video service led by our US partners.
