A GLOBAL NETWORK OF LEADERS FORMED FOR RECONCILIATION

We equip leaders to transform conflict in a divided world. Our focus on holistic formation builds the foundations of peace for generations to come.

Navigate change. Transform conflict.

Reimagine Peace.

In a divided world, we equip leaders with the habits and skills they need to transform conflict. Our global network connects and resources leaders who are pioneers of reconciliation in their own contexts, bringing people together across divides to reimagine a world of deep to deep collaboration. We specialise in faith-based reconciliation for faith-formed leaders but work across diverse contexts as we innovate on the frontlines of reconciler formation.

Hope for Unity: A Christian Wisdom of Reconciliation

Rose Castle
In John 17 Jesus prays for 'complete unity' among his followers. In a time of increasing polarisation within and between Christian communities, we have been exploring how Christians can serve God's desire for reconciliation at all levels of society.

Rooted in the Christian faith with a deep commitment to Abrahamic relations, our mission is to equip faith-formed and faith-curious leaders with the skills, tools, and habits needed to transform conflict.

With almost 80% of the world’s population describing themselves as religious, the need for faith-based approaches to bring about sustainable peace is widely recognised by governments, the UN, and other international organisations – yet this area remains significantly under-resourced.

The Rose Way

An approach to building a more sustainable peace in some of the world’s most divided societies.

We equip leaders to navigate change, chaos and conflict, not just today but for the long run. Leaders come face-to-face across divides, re-humanising those they no longer see or hear, and working towards a more peaceful future where both sides flourish – one in which their differences still matter.

We call this ‘deep-to-deep’ encounter. In a carefully facilitated space, where nobody is asked to leave their faith or ideology at the door, searching questions can be explored. This invitation to authentically interact draws out vital common ground but, more importantly, allows a rare space to share and explore the depths and differences that shape us.

Our focus on faith and difference makes the Rose Way unique. Our programmes bring this approach to life, bringing together extraordinary leaders into the most unlikely encounters. With an enduring package of support, our leaders embark on a holistic journey towards reconciliation as they become key influencers across challenging divides. 

 

Curious? Our digital brochure explains what The Rose Way is, how it works, and how it might work for you.

"My faith was strengthened, especially following the 12 habits of a reconciler. In the contentious, violent and uncaring society we live in, the Church has a significant role to play as a community of reconcilers. Reconciliation essentially entails reviving relationships that have been destroyed or harmed. To let go of the damaging effects of the past and painful memories is a difficult effort. Therefore, reconciliation requires patience, humility, and time."

"It’s such a joy to work with the Rose Castle Foundation. While they’re giving instruction, they’re also modelling what it means to be a reconciling agent. The whole of who they are has become so committed to the reconciling project, to training people to be agents of healing, for others."

Our Core Practices

Our trainings are designed upon three foundational practices that our network of reconcilers emulate within their own community contexts:

"I would commend the approach and experience of the Rose Castle Foundation in giving a relational tool that can assist in building peace from the family to international diplomacy."

We work in partnership to enable long-term, transformational change.

We work closely with organisations that share our calling to cross divides. Together we equip faith-formed and faith-curious emerging leaders that bring into conversation diverse perspectives and wisdom traditions. Our partners include universities, communities, seminaries, government bodies, and peacebuilding networks.
