In individuals reconciliation is a spirituality; a spirituality of transformation. As a spirituality, faith-based reconciliation is grounded in the belief in God’s sovereignty, of surrender and submission to the will of God.

• Faith-based reconciliation stresses the centrality of relationships; our relationship with God and with one another.
   
• Faith-based reconciliation at its core is about transforming hearts, lives and relationships. What is needed in most intractable identity-based conflicts or long standing historical estrangements is not creative solutions or gifted peacemakers, but changed hearts.
   
• Faith-based reconciliation sees Jesus of Nazareth as a divine healer and reconciler. We believe that through his life, teaching, death and resurrection, Jesus, embodies faith-based reconciliation and has something vital to say to our time.
   
• Faith-based reconciliation is a tangible expression of the kingdom or reign of God.
   
• Faith-based reconciliation is at the heart of the Abrahamic tradition and mission of “tikkun olam”, to heal, to repair, to transform the world. Three great faith traditions; Jews, Christians and Muslims trace their roots back to Abraham and are grounded in the doctrine of God’s sovereignty, of surrender and submission to God. While much is shared by these spiritual cousins they have a centuries-old history of estrangement. As such, the broken family of Abraham needs a great deal of healing.
   
• Faith-based reconciliation understands that there is a moral grain to the universe, which when violated produces turbulence in our relationships.
   
• Faith based reconciliation posits that humanity is created in the image of God, and therefore each person is entitled to dignity and respect.
