Canon Sarah Snyder, director of an international centre for reconciliation based at Rose Castle in Cumbria, leads this act of worship which focuses on peacebuilding. The centre invites strangers and even adversaries to meet and work with one another. In recent months it has welcomed US Republicans and Democrats - as well as Israelis and Palestinians, Russians and Ukrainians.

Canon Snyder is joined in the castle by peacemakers who have been engaged is some of the world鈥檚 most protracted struggles, and reflects on how their faith inspires them in their work. She hears from Professor Ephraim Isaac is a Jew from Ethiopia, James Lual Atak, a Christian from South Sudan and Dr Sarah Ahmed, a Muslim from Iraq.

Two of the peacebuilders became good neighbours in the most unlikely circumstances. They live in a place of extreme violence, on opposing sides of the conflict in Kaduna state in Northern Nigeria. Pastor James Wuye and Imam Muhammad Ashafa recall their seemingly impossible friendship, and reflect on the difficult journey they鈥檝e taken towards healing and reconciliation.

Readings from Psalm 77 and Luke chapter 10.

Music includes Gorecki鈥檚 symphony of sorrowful songs, the 鈥渟mall symphony of religions鈥� sung by the interfaith Pontanima choir of Bosnia, and the hymn 鈥淐hrist is Our Light.鈥�
