Healing Wounds of Ethnic Conflicts Through Feet-Washing - Paperback

by Endy (Endalkachew) Kidanewold (Author)

This book is about reconciliation. It is about winning forgiveness and healing for self and others at a price. That price in this book is foot washing. The research, based on descriptions and stories told, shed light on the depth of foot washing as a powerful alternative tool that can break the cycle of conflict and facilitate dialogue. Stories tell that foot washing generated emotions of tears and joy eliciting trust, forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration of lost relationships in the process of mediation and conflict resolution. Endy and his wife are small business owners in travel and commercial-cleaning trades since 1995. Endy is currently a certified mediator in Superior Court Civil Actions in the state of North Carolina. Love, let live, and live (partly a World War II saying).
