Why IRENIC?

When something is done in an irenic way, it is being done in a way that

• helps find common ground,
• creates understanding and appreciation,
• or soothes sore points of dispute.

Irenic Theology: a way of approaching God-talk that respects and accurately represents the opposing belief even when you strongly disagree.

In other words – instead of blowing you up, I’ll try to understand you.
