About Reconciling Leaders Network

Reconciling Leaders Network (RLN) has a vision for the church to be a reconciling presence in conflict and communities, with a purpose to mobilise a generation of peacemakers and reconcilers, pursuing a just and flourishing world. 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. This role will be employed by RLN. 

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. 

We work with a cohort of global champions internationally, and a UK network of leaders focusing on reconciliation as a missional imperative.
