MCI statement on recent violence in and around Ballymena
The Methodist people in Ireland and particularly those in Ballymena and Cullybackey strongly condemn the recent violence in Ballymena and some other areas. Racism, attacking the PSNI, and the burning of houses and cars can have no place in our community.
We ask our people to show care and love for all of our neighbours and to pray for an immediate end to this violence. We have already expressed our support to local politicians and the Chief Constable as they deal with this difficult and dangerous situation.
