For those who wonder if the Troubles are over for Northern Ireland the process continues. This is a significant milestone that weapons are being decommissioned by the loyalist paramilitary groups.Whereas I am just an observer working as a volunteer in the Shankill Road community the report from the BBC comes as great news to me. Not because I have ever felt unsafe since moving here but because it is a political milestone, another building block in the rebuilding of civil society and true democracy. It is a sign that fear has been reduced and with freedom from fear the people might move on to love God and love all others.
