Paul Browne
Messenger of Peace Hero Award 2014
Scout Leaders for more than 40 years, Paul Browne and Mike Loder took part in one of the several efforts of scouting to build peace in a divided country. Belfast in the early 1970’s was a difficult place to live – minority families in mixed communities were burned and bullied out of their homes, barricades were built preventing one community from encroaching on the other. Murders, bombings and intimidation were commonplace. Mike Loder and Paul Browne were Scout Leaders from groups on each side of the sectarian divide in a tense Belfast. They strongly believed that their responsibility to their Scouts included helping to develop tolerance and understanding. They knew that if progress was to be made, people had to meet, prejudices had to be challenged, and friendships had to be forged. They knew this could put their own lives at risk, but they knew it was worth it. Mike and Paul continue their pioneering work today and represent the many people around the world who ‘take the first step’ and offer the hand of friendship to others, it is always the beginning of the Peace journey.
