The Community of the Cross of Nails came into being as a result of
the bombing of Coventry Cathedral in November 1940. Amid the
destruction, two medieval nails were found lying in the shape of a
cross - seen as a prophetic sign for the need of forgiveness and
reconciliation, the people of Coventry offered forgiveness to the
people of Germany at Christmas, just weeks after the bombing.
Today, the Community of the Cross of Nails has 160 centres in 40
countries, working and praying to build peace, heal the wounds of
history and enable people to grow together in hope through
conferences, teaching in schools and prisons, and pilgrimages. This
illustrated book tells its remarkable story from the beginning. It
is also a work of contextual theology, offering reflection on the
meaning of reconciliation in the contemporary world and relating
experiences of imaginative forgiveness from Cape Town to Ground
Zero. Published as part of Coventry Cathedral's golden jubilee
celebrations, this celebrates its continuing ministry of
reconciliation.
