Saying Yes to Possibility

Written by:
Joe McKeown's life could have been very different. He grew up in West Belfast during the Troubles, and saw plenty of conflict, for a time joining in with the recreational stone-throwing when the army or RUC were there. Later he learned that his grandfather - a demonstrably innocent man - had initially been branded as an IRA gunman after being shot and killed by a teenaged soldier. To one side, a justifiable casualty, to the other, a murder victim. Yet Joe chose not revenge, but peace and reconciliation, rooted in his Christian faith. Joe now runs the youth service Youthlink - and he tells Diane and Will how his decision was simply "saying 'Yes' to possibility".
