In 1940, when Hitler's bombers reduced Coventry's ancient cathedral
to ruins, he coined a new word. He threatened to "coventrate" all
of Britain. Coventry thus was given an iconic status as a symbol of
the triumph of good over evil, of forgiveness over revenge, of
reconciliation and peace over division and conflict. The ruins are
still there today as a warning, but the new and magnificent new
cathedral has become the powerhouse of a ministry both to the city
and to international conflicts. The book is in three parts. Part 1
is a series of dramatic and moving stories of that outreach, from
Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Part 2 describes the history of
how the cathedral came to be such a unique and active symbol of
renewal and peace. Part 3 asks what lessons are to be learned from
that story for a world in greater danger and with deeper divisions
than ever. Finally, the author, from his long experience of
international reconciliation, defines the steps that are essential
if the old wounds of history are really to be healed.
