Rev. Harold Good will discuss his triumphs and troubles creating peace at a lecture entitled “An Unfinished Journey” on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 7:30 p.m., Harper Center, Hixson-Lied Auditorium. Immediately following the lecture, there will be a reception with beverages and dessert for all to attend.
Good is a recognized speaker on conflict resolution, and is the recipient of international awards for his role in peacemaking, including the Gandhi Foundation International Peace Award, the Rene Casin Human Rights Award from the Basque Government and the World Methodist Peace Award.
Good’s “An Unfinished Journey” takes us through the struggles that he encountered, battling through religious, social and political barriers while searching for peace amongst communities. This lecture will share the story of the Northern Ireland peace process and attempt to explain the historical roots as well as the consequences of our long drawn out period of violence and, more importantly, the journey which has brought us to the remarkable and dramatically different police in which we are not.
