About us

Reconciling Leaders Network (RLN) has a vision for the church to be a reconciling presence in conflict and communities; it is committed to mobilising a generation to live out their calling as peacemakers and reconcilers, for a just and flourishing society.

RLN works across the Anglican Communion and ecumenically, supporting a ministry of peacebuilding and reconciliation.

RLN is a charitable entity, established in 2017, with a governing Board of Trustees and an Advisory Group. It was established as part of the Reconciliation Ministry at Lambeth Palace and is currently seconded into the National Churches Institution.

RLN has developed the Difference course – a formational and interactive course for Churches, Chaplaincies, Schools and Youth Groups, exploring following Jesus in a conflicted world. Equipping participants to cross divides, navigate disagreement, pursue justice and belong together.

Being a reconciler is an essential part of following Jesus, which is why the Church is called to be a reconciling presence in the midst of conflict.

We believe that the fracture and division in our world cries out for people committed to reconciliation, whose actions and words show that a new and better way is possible: we need reconciling leaders. This is a call to every one of us, whether we think of ourselves as ‘leaders’ or not. We also believe that there is power in interconnection and, together, we are so much more than the sum of our parts.
