Memories of the

 School of Reconciliation and Justice 2011 Harpenden UK

Browse through a few pictures of life in the school from January to April as we studied and lived together and sought to understand how to bring change to our areas of the world.

In London enjoying an amazing city

Studying hard and enjoying our time celebrating together

Nanzip and the Drum....Music and teaching...stirs our hearts to change.

Excellent Teachers lead each week during the school....and they challenge each one of us to learn new principles and to apply these truths to our lives.

SORJ STAFF: Nanzip, Sodangi, Ineta, Olivier with Scott Tjernagel
Thank you, Scott, for your teaching that inspires us
to learn more about our Father's Kingdom.

Michael, Innocent, Godfrey all from Rwanda.....
How does one change a nation? Work with men like these three!

Our brains are aching and our hearts are being stretched to have new vision for the future.

Sodangi leading the group

The name plates show our national flags and our joined hands symbolize that peace comes as we work together.

Encouraging one another

Ineta has so much wisdom to share from her work in Thailand and in Latvia

We were looking at power structures and trying to figure out how to make a difference in changing the dynamics

Sarah thinking and dreaming about God's justice for his hurting world

Zipporah and the Journey of Reconciliation...how can one small book have so much impact in our lives?

Thank you Dr. Jazz for inspiring us when you teach on Conflict and Reconcilation

Take one Desmond Tutu and one young man, Godfrey, and it is a recipe for new vision to develop on how to help his country

All serious study goes better with dancing and none does it better than Innocent

My favority place to be....
in a classroom with interesting students and lots to discuss

You can hear their brains thinking and thinking!
Henry is excited and ready to discuss the subject.
and...Ashlee is thinking, thinking, thinking.

Thank you Matthew for challenging Nanzip,
 and each of us with your wisdom and experience

Henry is going to remember these days of learning from you
when he is leading his sports ministry in Nigeria

Part of the process of learning is being able to lead others.....Nanzip and Olivier leading the joint worship time for the schools.

Ashlee and Antoniette ....
What are you planning as you talk about the future?

After 3 Months of lectures and work, it is time for Graduation. Each student designs a reconciliation project for their country or an advocacy project that could help change an issue of injustice.
The faces below show the relief of working hard and encouraging each other to give life their best.

Happy Staff pleased with the projects and the success of their students!

Nathaniel, Ghana, explaining his project. Well Done!

And finishing the school, means it is time to take what has been learned and to fly home! We will miss each one of you who made this year's school very special...thank you for the hard work and how you inspired us.

Saying Goodbye to Olivier who was leaving for Rwanda.....hopefully the SORJ will be following him to Rwanda Fall, 2011
