Irish Council of Churches celebrates centenary
Rev Dr Harold Good
The Irish Council of Churches has celebrated its centenary with a special service of worship at St. Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast.
Former president of the Methodist Church in Ireland, Rev Dr Harold Good spoke at the service which took place on Sunday 22nd January also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Ballymascanlon Talks, which led to the establishment of the Irish Inter-Church Meeting.
Dr Good spoke of about Christian Churches bringing "humility and hope" to realising "a vision of reconciliation".
He said the words of the late Queen Elizabeth during her visit to Dublin - when she spoke of things which could have been done differently, or not at all - could not be underestimated.
"Just imagine if following this service, each of us was resolved to acknowledge the hurt which collectively if not individually we have inflicted upon each other and for which we now seek to be reconciled," he said.
