Description
A Belfast journalist reflects on his long career reporting on Northern Ireland's Troubles and global conflicts, exploring the complex interplay between religion and journalism. He recounts covering some of the most disturbing atrocities of the Troubles, including Bloody Sunday and the Kingsmills Massacre, and shares insights into how the Christian faith has sustained people in times of great suffering. The author also writes about well-known figures in Northern Ireland, such as Gordon and Joan Wilson, whose daughter Marie died in a bombing at the Enniskillen Cenotaph. He reflects on the courageous bridge-builders who have worked towards reconciliation, including Reverend Dr Ray Davey, who founded Corrymeela. This book offers telling insights into life in Northern Ireland during a time of great turmoil and asks why the Christian message has been so poorly represented by some churches.
