EDITORIAL: "KNOW THYSELF"
"Know thyself," said Socrates. "The heart is deceitfully wicked," said Jeremiah. Pretending to know ourselves, we are often selfdeceived. And what is true of the individual can also be true of organisations.
So as we celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of ECONI in this issue of Lion & Lamb we asked a diverse group of people to reflect on their encounter with ECONI. For some that encounter has been long, sustained and intimate; for others, more recent or more distant. Taken together, we hope that they provide some sense of ECONI.s work and role over the last fifteen years.
The
heart of ECONI is people and one of the most central
people throughout those fifteen years has been David Hewitt, whose vision
and commitment did so much to make ECONI happen. In our interview this
month David sets ECONI in the context of his personal experience of living
out Christian faith in Northern Ireland, reminding us again of why we
are here.
It is good to look back, to reflect, to learn and to be thankful. As we do so, we continue to look forward. In many ways the last fifteen years have seen dramatic changes in this community. Sadly, in many ways these changes are on the surface only. Dig a little deeper and the same fundamental problems that shaped a generation of conflict have not gone away. And as long as these problems remain unresolved a task remains for ECONI to do.
