Additional information:
The Book of Ruth details the story of Ruth, her mother–in–law Naomi and Ruth’s eventual husband Boaz. It’s a story of borders, tensions between neighbouring territories, stereotyping narratives between people long divided, law, of how laws change when people meet people, of hunger, resentment, shame and love.
Using the lens of this extraordinary book, we have produced nine resources for use in congregations and parishes across both sides of the Irish border as well as in England, Scotland and Wales. The resource is designed to address our need to belong to each other – across the Irish border and in the changing experience of Brexit. It’s our full expectation that people who participate in this project will have voted differently on Brexit, changed their mind or kept their mindset. This resource and project does not seek to establish consensus on what should have happened in Brexit, but rather seeks to open up the conversation about how the Book of Ruth can speak to our contemporary politics and relationships across difficult borderlands.
