Renewing Hope

A response of faith, hope and imagination to the situation in Northern Ireland

As Christians concerned about our communities and compelled by our faith in Jesus Christ, Lord of Creation and Head of the Church, we commit ourselves to building a future where –

Everyone enjoys freedom from violence, intimidation, criminality, paramilitary activity and sectarianism that tear our social fabric and block political progress

Local politicians and people take responsibility for political progress, co-operating to secure a stable and inclusive society

Healthy and robust relationships flourish based on a generosity of spirit and a realistic recognition of diversity

Truthfulness and honesty create relationships of trust and provide the basis for dealing with the past and engaging with the present

Hope and imagination, justice and love transform our public life as people accept their responsibilities and exercise their rights with due concern for the rights of others.

Do not be weary in doing what is right! 2 Thessalonians 3:13

We invite you to join us in committing to work for such a future.
