Description
For over thirty years the sectarian hatred and violence in Northern Ireland have left deep wounds and reinforced divisions. At times the demands of loyalty to Jesus have too easily come second to the call to solidarity with our community. Political and cultural positions have been defended at the expense of biblical values and attitudes.
Concerned that evangelical Christians had failed to be a distinctive witness, a group of leaders began to meet in 1987 for biblical reflection and prayer. In 1988 they published For God and His Glory Alone, outlining ten biblical principles. This called on Christians to demonstrate what difference being a citizen of the Kingdom of God makes to our political priorities in a divided community.
15 years on from those first meetings, ECONI continues to promote the application of biblical values to living as followers of Jesus in a still divided, yet changing, society. Christians cannot avoid the task of addressing sectarian prejudice built up over generations. In our community and in our churches we are challenged to love both enemy and neighbour.
