A PLACE FOR PEACE “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, FOR THEY WILL BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD.” 2
Coventry Cathedral is an extraordinary place, dedicated to inspiring and bringing reconciliation, hope and peace. We are looking for those committed to supporting this iconic place, and enabling our inspirational work to continue and flourish in the years ahead. We believe in harnessing the power of the past to build peace for the future. Coventry Cathedral’s unique calling as a catalyst for peace and reconciliation was born out of the Coventry Blitz in the Second World War. Our incredible building is a living symbol of a city’s pain powerfully transformed to build hope, embedded in the heart of a community that suffered much but responded with courage, determination and forgiveness. This is key to all the work we do. The morning after the old Cathedral was destroyed by bombing, Provost Howard stood among the ruins and made a commitment to rebuild, saying in the following weeks, ‘hard as it may be, we are seeking to banish all thoughts of revenge’. With the words ‘Father Forgive’ carved deep into the stone of the ruined apse, there began a process which led to the building of the new Cathedral alongside the ruins of the old. Since then Coventry Cathedral has become recognised across the world as a uniquely powerful symbol of peace and reconciliation. 3
