What is Reconciliation?

Reconciliation is the process by which individuals or communities attempt to arrive at a place of mutual understanding and acceptance. There is no one approach to achieving reconciliation but building trust by examining painful shared histories, acknowledging each other's truths, and a common vision are essential to the process.
