Division has been rampant during the coronavirus pandemic.

Sadly, you may have felt this powerfully within your immediate family or circle of friends. Perhaps your workplace or church has been split by pandemic fall-out.

From mask mandates to vaccinations, lockdowns to stay-at-home directions, the COVID pandemic has served up so much for us to be divided about.

Bruce Burgess is Founding Director of Peacewise, a Christian organisation dedicated to providing biblical principles for dealing with conflict.

Bruce spoke with Hope Mornings about first steps for restoring ruptured relationships. Even at this stage of the pandemic, you might still be able to come back together with those who hold significantly different views to you.
