About ReconciliationTalk

The life and views of Peter Adams who works in Intercultural Relations, Peacemaking and Reconciliation based at St Mary's Church, an Anglican Church in Luton, England. Peter regularly posts about issues and especially conflicts around the world on the basis that in a multicultural town like Luton with links throughout the globe, the reality of the joy, the pain, the suffering of the world out there is our reality too. He regularly spends time in China and in other places around the world. Wherever he is he loves to bring groups of people together to understand the things that separate them and to build bridges of friendship and reconciliation. Please note: these are my own personal views and provisional.

Peace in Luton

The peace of our town, Luton, is being challenged by the views of a few that seek to polarise the rest of us. As Christians and Muslims our commitment is:“in the face of extremist minorities that seek to separate us, we are united in the teaching of both our faiths, to love God and love our neighbour as ourselves.”

The Olympic Year in China

Peter and Anne Adams spent Summer 2008, the Olympic Season, in China. While there they wrote regularly on things they saw and did, people they talked to, and news articles they read. They tried to provide a different take on things from that which often comes across in the media. Read more about them and their thought about China on China Encounters
