Partners in Transformation

Partners in Transformation (2001-2006) aimed to: enhance, nurture, and support the capacity of churches and faith communities in their calling to be peace-builders and agents of transformation.

PIT was a joint initiative of the Irish School of Ecumenics and Mediation Northern Ireland (MNI). Rev. Doug Baker of Mediation Northern Ireland and Dr Geraldine Smyth of ISE were the project co-leaders. It was rooted in the conviction that active peace-building needs to become a mainstream concern and not the preserve of an enthusiastic few on the fringes of the churches. This project was targeted towards ‘church leaders’ including: executive and middle range leaders of all churches and faith communities willing to participate; and local leaders: ministers, elders, members of parish councils, leader's meetings, synods, vestries and lay leaders who have an active or influential role in their denomination at local or regional level.
