The Power of Truth, Corrymeela Belfast Office
29 Nov 2016
Corrymeela Belfast Office
Spirituality and Power Seminar
Corrymeela staff member Sean Pettis will speak about ‘the choices we made’ film resource.
The film is a collection of six true stories about individuals wrestling with how to behave and act when confronted with sectarianism, violence or prejudice. The stories range across 30 years and seek to offer a different entry point regarding what options people had available to them during the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland and post ceasefire period.
There are no simple answers. This is not an easy lesson or comfortable viewing. What can we learn from this? How does it help us understand this period in our history? How does it differ from the more loudly heard narratives? What choices could people have made? How can we as individuals and a society lean from the past and nurture a more flourishing, inclusive and diverse society where we live well together?
The “Spirituality and Power Seminars” are a series of seminars run by Corrymeela, usually on the last Tuesday of each month, at our offices in Belfast, 83 University Street, Belfast BT7 1HP.
They run from 4pm–5.30pm and will feature a speaker who will present some reflections on the topic of Power and Spirituality.
