You can always tell the health of any nation in how it treats the most vulnerable in our communities.

Beware of those who use Christianity to justify what is happening across our world..
God is not behind the war
God is not behind the bombs and the drones
This is not Christianity!
God is in the rubble-with those whose lives are being crushed and destroyed.
Lord, have mercy!
Happy International Womenโs Day! ๐ช ๐

Blessed are the stumblers and sinners!
Update: my beloved wife is now in psychiatric hospital
The four and a half year route to getting this help has been a disgrace, with countless errors & failures along the way
But the staff there are lovely and we hope this chapter will help get her some relief from her symptoms
Thank you all

When we view the โotherโ as an enemy to be destroyed rather than a neighbour to live alongside in peaceโฆ we have abandoned a part of our humanity.
Blessed are the peacemakers!
Yes, the picture that I shared is the post by Helen McEntee โฆ I just cut out her interview.. but the details are the same ๐
Friends,
What is happening across the Middle East is frightening.
My concern is our people from across our islandโฆ whether you hold a British or an Irish passportโฆ
We want you home safe!

Friends,
Exciting news!
After Easter, in partnership with the Forthspring InterCommunity Group, we will be launching โScรฉalta Peace Communityโ
โScรฉaltaโ is the Irish word for โStories,โ and captures the heart of our new faith community.
All welcome-Stay posted for more details!

Long time no speak, my friend. Hope you are keeping well!
When my wife was at her most unwell former Councillor Linzi McLaren was - behind the scenes - INCREDIBLY kind & helpful
Political unionism - esp the UUP and its supporters - should be awake at night asking itself how it managed to lose such a talent

There should be a full investigation.
You canโt claim to be a peacemaker while ignoring injustice. Peace without accountability protects harm.
Abuse of children/misuse of power - no matter your title/positionโฆ must be met with accountability. Justice for survivors isnโt optional-itโs necessary!
Patriarchy and misogyny may be part of church historyโฆ but that doesnโt make it Christian!

Chuir an tUachtarรกn Catherine Connolly fรกilte roimh Seanadรณir Frances Black agus an tUrramach Karen Sethuraman ar chuairt chรบirtรฉise inniu ag รras an Uachtarรกin.
This afternoon President Connolly welcomed Senator Frances Black and Reverend Karen Sethuraman to รras an Uachtarรกin on a courtesy call.
Go peaceful in gentleness through the violence of these days. Show tenderness in all your ways. May you be known by love. Speak truthfully in a world of greed and lies. Show kindness. See everyone through heavenโs eyes. May you be known by love!

It was a privilege to share the work I do in Ireland with my Baptist friends and colleagues at Freshstreams & to hear their stories of all that is happening across the UK
Thank you for the opportunity to be with you all!

I had the privilege today of sharing my work on peace and reconciliation with 40 Church of England clergy. It was also so lovely to reconnect with my wonderful friend, Becca.
Itโs great to be reminded that there are still strong voices of love, hope and compassion!
