I found out about the group from an immensely powerful documentary, Encounter Point, which I saw recently. It tells a story of several remarkable individuals who have come together in the belief that the best way to channel their grief and loss is to use it to advance, at a human level, the course of peace and reconciliation. I highly recommend this film to anyone (of any political or religious persuasion)interested in thinking about the enormous challenges of peacemaking.
