Synopsis

Ruth Patterson was ordained a Presbyterian Minister in 1976 - becoming the first woman to be ordained In Ireland. She saw first-hand the need for healing and reconciliation in Northern Ireland, having begun her ministry at Kilmakee in Seymour Hill. Arising directly out of her parish involvement, Restoration Ministries was set up in 1988 - where Ruth continued to work as well as in her parish until 1991 when she became full-time Director of Restoration Ministries. Ruth recounts her personal story as a backdrop to the powerful reflections that she shares in this book. She gives in-depth glimpses of certain stages of her journey and the accompanying enrichment of a deepening spirituality. Her reflections spring from an unshakeable belief that Ireland has a destiny under God that has yet to be fulfilled. That destiny centres on the call to reconciliation, and to a love that creates room enough for all.
