Reconciliation Toolkit
We live in fractured times. Conflict and suffering seem to dominate the headlines, and many of us are left asking the same urgent question: What can I actually do? How do we resist injustice without perpetuating the cycle of harm? How do we build something better? And how do we love our neighbour when division feels so deep?
These aren't abstract questions for us at Coventry Cathedral. They're woven into our very foundations – literally and spiritually. Our Cathedral was destroyed in the Blitz of 1940, and in the rubble, Provost Dick Howard spoke words that would define us: "Father forgive." Those two words became our calling: to be a place and people of reconciliation, healing the wounds of history one encounter at a time.
But what does that look like in practice? How do we live out that calling in a world that often feels more divided than ever?
Explore our Reconciliation Toolkit area of the website for resources, articles, thought pieces, podcasts and more as we explore how reconciliation is for us all to build together.
