"I would like to see my books become catalysts for Christians within politics, to help them keep aware, keep thinking about interacting with the world."
During my "retirement" after 37 years of journalism, I am sensing there's yet something to do, for me at least, that has something to do with conciliation, peacemaking or some similar such activity. Conflict is very much a part of what we are as human beings, within families, workplaces and nations. In many ways, conflict is necessary to understand what makes cultures different.
For whatever reason, my own life experience and that of my wife Edna's has exposed us regularly to the concepts of Christian and Biblical conciliation and conflict resolution. It's my hope the research and writing I do in Ottawa–will lead to Biblical conciliation and conflict resolution.
Lloyd Mackey has launched Christian newspapers, taught newspapering to University students,written a number of articles and written books about Canadian politicians.
