Description: 'The Real Peace Process' draws on extensive fieldwork in Protestant and Catholic churches across Ireland to analyse how Christian worship can become caught up in sectarianism. The book examines the need for a peace process that changes hearts and minds and not merely civic structures of their inhabitants.
Review Quotes:
"A model for how insightful ethnography can lead to the enrichment of practical and constructive theology, it demonstrates how religious worship can be rooted into political worlds." - Choice"The value of this book lies in its detail: its careful descriptions of actual practices and its comparison with other forms of practice within the same churches in different societies, and, most of all, in its critical perspective." - Journal of Church and State
