| Summary: | This article examines three ecumenical reconciliation communities in Northern Ireland, a society marked more generally by sharp conflict between Protestants and Catholics. Participant observation during the summer of 1987 revealed that members of these communities share demographic characteristics (age, education, occupation) with other moderates in Northern Ireland. Groups differ in their definitions of and strategies for reconciliation, with charismatics demonstrating links to the international charismatic movement and others sharing characteristics of the radical evangelical movement in the U.S. Comparisons with Christian peace and reconciliation groups in Europe, South Africa, and Central America suggest the need for further comparative research on reconciliation movements. |
