In a world of conflict in which religious differences play a
significant role, reconciliation grows increasingly important. The
Ministry of Reconciliation shows how with a spirituality of
reconciliation we can create the spaces in which reconciliation can
happen, and with human strategies, how the process of
reconciliation can move forward.
From wide-ranging travels Schreiter has gained a profound wisdom
and hope as well as the questions and struggles to be faced. In
Part One, "Reconciliation as Spirituality, " Schreiter poses this
key question: "If God did indeed raise Jesus up to a new life that
breaks the grip of violence and sin on the world, what should be
the concrete object of our hope?" Each of the next six chapters
then meditates on post-Easter appearances as recorded in Scripture.
Schreiter's explorations of such events as "the breakfast at the
seashore" (John 21:1-17) and "what the women saw" (Mark 16:1-8;
John 20:1-18) reveal a direct pastoral style reminiscent of Rahner
and Barth at their best.
From this profound and hope-filled beginning Schreiter goes on
to emphasize how a spirituality of reconciliation without sound
social and theological reflection on its implementation will fail.
Part Two, "Elements of a Strategy for Reconciliation, " tackles
such vexing questions as individual and social responsibility;
truth and justice; amnesty and pardon; and how the church can aid
in reconciliation. Schreiter explores questions as: How can
forgiveness happen? What is justice, and how should it be sought
and administered? How can a society be rebuilt that includes the
perpetrators of evil?
