'The Real Peace Process' draws on extensive fieldwork in Protestant and Catholic churches across Ireland to analyse how Christian worship can become caught up in sectarianism. The book examines the need for a peace process that changes hearts and minds and not merely civic structures of their inhabitants.

Uses Habermas's theory of communicative action to suggest two things: a method by which theology can access the ritual symbols by which faith is formed; and a metaphor of intersubjectivity with which theology can propose an interpretative, rather than an instrumental understanding of sacramentality - and thus of God.
