St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation & Peace

Destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993,
resurrected as a centre for reconciliation and peace in 2002,
St Ethelburga's is a symbol of hope from the ashes.

We offer events, training, leadership programmes and
multimedia content which equip and inspire people to
become peacemakers in their own contexts.

Bridging divides, loving earth

Our work sits at the intersection of climate and peace
We believe there can be no peace on Earth
unless we also realise peace with Earth

Our Lifelines project connects community and interfaith groups with farmers to plant hedgerows and restore woodlands; creating a network of wildlife corridors and woodland across the country, planted by people of diverse faiths and spiritual traditions, with a sense of reverence and connection to the Earth and to each other.
