Pádraig Ó Tuama is a poet, theologian, and extraordinary healer in our world of fracture. He leads the Corrymeela community of Northern Ireland, a place that has offered refuge since the violent division that defined that country until the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. Ó Tuama and Corrymeela extend a quiet, generative, and joyful force far beyond their northern coast to people around the world. Over cups of tea and the experience of bringing people together, he says it becomes possible to talk with each other and be in the same room with the people we talk about. (Original Air Date: March 2, 2017)

Valuable guidance in mid-January 2021 as enmity and violence grip the US. This interview opened me up and helped me angle towards healing.

I have a deep yearning to come home. My father landed in Canada 53 years ago. I am here, in Canada. Great heath care and such a lovely country. But I long for Ireland.

I know right? I am Canadian and so grateful for NPR. Also CBC, BBC. Great material here. Cheers! So amazing that Ireland was one of the first countries to legalize gay marriage. What a beautiful surprise.

From Wikipedia… “Corrymeela was awarded the Niwano Peace Prize in 1997, in honour of "its contribution to significantly to interreligious cooperation, thereby furthering the cause of world peace.”” Sounds like an organization that has done a lot of good over many decades.
