Stormont and Christian Renewal Centre
We visited the Parliamentary Building[s] today, the Stormont Assembly. It was spectacular. We had a very in-depth tour on the history and the present state of the Assembly. We even got to see one of the more known political leaders in Northern Ireland. (Maybe you guys can guess who). I ain't mentioning any names tho.
The road that leads to the Stormont Assembly is a mile long. Luckily the guards let our taxi through, so we made it to our tour on time... actually... thirty minutes early. But then we had to walk back down. It was a beautiful walk. We stopped at a reconciliation monument on the way down.
Shortly after the Stormont visit we met with some of the staff at Habitat for Humanity. They presented on a number of projects that they are currently working on. They took us to some of the sites they were working on, and then raced us to the bus station to catch our bus to Rostrevor.
Now we're in Rostrevor. It's a quaint, coastal town. As the tide went out this evening, we went for a stroll. The view is incredible.
We sat down with Harry, the director of the Christian Renewal Centre, and we had an extraordinary conversation on his book that is coming out soon, which describes the great underlying reasons for the sectarian tensions in Northern Ireland. Although his overall description of the matter is relatively distinct from others we have heard, it makes complete sense. It is great to have a variety of perspectives. All fit in the big picture.
Our time here has been inspiring, engaging, challenging, motivating, and visionary. Thanks so much for keeping up with us.
peace,
