The Corrymeela Community is a Christian community whose objective is the promotion of reconciliation and peace-building through the healing of social, religious, and political divisions in Northern Ireland. It runs programmes aimed at establishing a shared society defined by tolerance, where differences are resolved through dialogue in the public sphere and where there is equity, respect for diversity and recognition of interdependence.〔http://www.irlfunds.org/your_money_at_work/projects_corrymeela.asp〕〔http://www.irlfunds.org/your_money_at_work/projects_corrymeela.aspk〕 ==Introduction== Corrymeela works throughout Northern Ireland and beyond, developing and delivering focused community relations work through single-identity, cross-community and cross-border community and residentially based programmes. Each year over 6,000 participants take part in programmes at the Corrymeela Ballycastle Centre, which can host over 100 residents. Corrymeela currently has 28 staff, 15 residential volunteers, 100 short-term volunteers, 150 community members and over 5,000 supporters worldwide who support the work of the community. Corrymeela offers participants the opportunity to engage in dialogue, build a sense of inclusive community during their programme, listen to different stories and perspectives and explore ways of moving out of violence and finding more constructive ways of working together. In addition to providing a model of reconciliation, Corrymeela seeks to offer a language around relationships and reconciliations which can be applied to politics, conflict transformation, and faith. This language around relationships and reconciliation has been taken up in political discourse. The Northern Irish government's Shared Future document references Corrymeela and writes that "relationships matter and are central" and "moving from relationships based on mistrust and defence to relationships rooted in mutual recognition and trust, is the essence of reconciliation." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corrymeela Community」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
