"Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other." (Psalm 85.10)
 
These lovely words, and this statue of reconciliation, try to articulate a different vision of the world, and a different understanding of Christian prayer, than that held by those who thank God for bombs, and believe remote killing of other people is somehow a good thing.
 
Lord, have mercy.
 
The statue of reconciliation is at Coventry Cathedral, also known as "Reunion,"' it is a sculpture by Josefina de Vasconcellos that depicts two figures kneeling and embracing. It symbolizes reconciliation between former enemies.
