The confer- . ence entitled "The Anatomy of Hate,” brought peace movement leaders and heads of state to- gether, such as French President Francois Mitterand, South Afri- can President Nelson Mandela, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and Nadine Gordimer. After reading about the confer- ence, some peoplejin Northern Ireland contacted the foundation and Rittner answered the phone call. Although 'the foundation would not get involved, Rittner offered to go to Ireland to tell them how to organize a conference. “I was really quite taken with these people and their dedica- tion,” she said. “I spent 18 months helping them organize the confer- ence and raise the funds.” The conference they organized was “1 think it’s like any document that’s been pounded out. No one gets everything they want.” Sr. Carol Rittner, RSM called “Beyond Hate: Living with our Deepest Differences.” Since then, Rittner has been back and forth between the United States and Northern Ireland. Since that first conference, Rittner has been involved with other projects. “Things have evolved,” she explained. “I've helped to organize International Journeys of Coexistence. We work with people with leadership abil- ity — teachers, community devel- opment workers, women who work with women’s groups, people who work in unions — and we do a series of workshops.

If this docu- ment is supported, it will require that the Republic of Ireland give up their claim to Northern Ire- land. I hope it's supported. I think it’s like any document that’s been pounded out. No one gets every- thing they want.” “It’s the first step, but I think there's a lot of work that needs to MAZERS GREENHOUSES be done,” Rittner said. “You can’t legislate a change of heart. It takes work by educators, policy mak- ers, community workers, and the media. It's just the first step re- ally.” Both Larkin and Rittner agree that education is a vital part of the peace process. “I think education isone of the things thatis needed,” Rittner said. “I also think people need to get to know each other and know that the other is not the enemy.” In Ireland, the sisters are very active in education. Larkin ex- plained, “We have a sister who works in an area that is particu- larly vulnerable. There are sisters who are social workers in par- ishes that go out and work in communities. Wherever they are needed, I think the sisters will be there.” DAILY "HUNDREDS OF HANGING BASKETS OPEN FOR SEASON Route 118 10 AM. -7P.M. Lehman Hwy. DAILY 10 AM. -7PM.
