This major conference highlights the challenge of building peace in our divided worlds, with key speakers:

Jo Berry CBE - international peace builder, founder of Building Bridges for Peace.  Jo says “On October 12th 1984 my father, Sir Anthony Berry and 4 others were killed in the bombing of the Grand Hotel, Brighton..… I made a personal decision just two days later, to bring something positive out of this emotionally shattering trauma and to try and understand those who had killed him. I chose to give up blame and revenge, instead taking responsibility for my pain and feelings, transforming them into passion for peace”.

Simon Keyes was previously Professor of Reconciliation and Peacebuilding at the University of Winchester and is now the Bath and Wells Diocesan Adviser on Peacebuilding.
