The Evangelical Contribution on Northern Ireland (ECONI) played a leading role in peacebuilding, partic¬ularly within the loyalist community. ECONI grew out of grassroots meetings of faith leaders in the late 1980s, and was incorporated in 1994. ECONI’s work included clergy training, public statements, international confer¬ences, and production of Bible study resources for use in congregations throughout Northern Ireland. With the end of the conflict, ECONI changed its name to the Centre for Contemporary Christianity in Ireland, and is currently involved in efforts to build forgiveness by dealing with the past, and to engage Northern Ireland’s increasing diversity.
