ABSTRACT
Guatemala’s Recovery of Memory project (REMHI) was a practical exercise in the political theology of reconciliation undertaken in courageous hope. It showed the importance of breaking a culture of denial, the need to confront the truth as honestly as possible, and the importance of acknowledging the suffering of victims if there is to be real healing for those who have suffered and for society as a whole. As part of the social ministry of the church, it shows how the gospel can be incarnated into a contemporary and prophetic mission.
