Who we are, and why are we different? All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation – 2 Corinthians 5:18 Reconxile is an explicitly* Christian organisation who take 2 Corinthians 5:18 as their inspiration and seek to work out their ministry in practical ways through building reconciliation between:
in the earnest hope of enabling individuals to reclaim their identity and build steps to their reconciliation with the creator who gave it to them. And we do this through you. *Explicitly? Our reality is that God, the creator of the universe, is alive and well, if a little bit disappointed. And that he loves each one of us, individually and personally, so much that he humiliates and sacrifices himself on a cross and still allows us free choice over whether we accept this or not. And that this knowledge is so fundamentally awesome that it should drive and underpin everything we do. And that we at Reconxile fall way short of living up to that, or even of trying to live up to that, but we persevere, and actually feel God smile on us from time to time. We are pleased to work with sincere and caring followers of all faiths and none, but see no value in concealing our identity to do so. Our intellectual limitations as human beings sadly constrain us, at any one time, to only one version of the truth, one version of reality, which we are called to fervently pursue in sincerity and love. But we are convinced that God’s intellect is bigger than we can know or conceive, and the ideas that we see as being in conflict, need not necessarily be so. And because He paid such a huge price for free will, and because He loves us all as much as each other, then we will endeavour in all things to respect the importance of both.
