2018 Building bridges in Glebe House, Northern Ireland![]() Northern Ireland has been a deeply divided country with two communities: Catholic and Protestant. I have found a job as a part-time cleaner in an ecumenical guest house, three days a week. ![]() It is located deep in the countryside. I cycle to work. Glebe House has been a meeting place from
the time of the violent conflict in the 1970's, bringing together many
groups of children and of adults from both communities inorder to
promote an inclusive society. I give a hand wherever I can, making beds for the
childrens' groups - up to 45 beds, washing the bedding, cleaning the
place. There is plenty of work to do!
There are many activities for adults too, crafts, seasonal festivities etc. I welcome them serving cups of tea, and sometimes lunch. One day after a group left, as I was cleaning I came across a woman's comment on a paper. She wrote "I found I can mix well with both communities. This place has helped a lot". Her comment reminded me of these phrases: In order to love one another, we must know one another. In order to know one another, we must meet one another. I discover more and more the deep commitment of all the members of Glebe house to build an inclusive society. I am grateful to be there and to be able to welcome people from such different backgrounds. ![]() |
