Centre For Reconciliation and Peace
The church now houses the St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace. The Centre organises a programme of more than 100 public events a year exploring the relationship between faith and conflict, as well as inter-faith dialogue and training; over 2008-09 20,000 people attended its programmes. It is also used for private meetings to reconcile people in conflict. The Centre is associated with the Children of Abraham Institute founded by Jewish theologian Peter Ochs.
