Reconciliation and unity between senior Christian leaders, modelled visibly before the Church, especially in shame-honour cultures, is essential ‘so that the world may believe’ that the Father has sent the Lord Jesus (John 17.21). Fostering and promoting reconciliation among senior national leaders results in a resilient community of leaders who in turn take the ministry of reconciliation to younger leaders and pastors.

A terzanelle related to peace and reconciliation (Micah 5:5; Matthew 5:9; Ephesians 2:13-18)
By Salvatore Anthony Luiso
Christ died to make reconciliation
He is the great peacemaker in God’s plan
He is the head of a holy nation.
To bring about peace between God and man,
The Son of God died as a sacrifice
He is the great peacemaker in God’s plan.
Yet God paid for more with that precious price
For peace among men Christ suffered that cost
The Son of God died as a sacrifice.
To repossess peace when it has been lost,
One must seek after, must pursue, that peace
For peace among men Christ suffered that cost.
One may need to strive hard to make strife cease
Christ Himself strove for the peace that He sought
One must seek after, must pursue, that peace.
Praise be to God for the peace He has wrought
Christ died to make reconciliation,
Christ Himself strove for the peace that He sought
He is the head of a holy nation.
