For people of faith in these difficult times, listening to Christian music, or better still, watching it being performed online, is very uplifting - a real spiritual experience. During the Coronavirus crisis, we introduced a page carrying links to music videos which we hope will be a blessing to all. You can access the page by clicking HERE

During 2021, the Church of Ireland Bishops’ Appeal released funds to support Covid relief efforts in India and also in Haiti following a devastating earthquake. And now the crisis in Ukraine has displaced numerous refugees in need of support by relief agencies and the Bishops' Appeal seeks urgent donations to go towards such humanitarian work. Individuals and parishes are invited to contribute to support these and other efforts. Taxpayers in the U.K. can give more help by “Gift Aiding” donations.

The Dean Writes:
Dear Parishioners and Friends all around the world,
We are all different despite our trying to conform, we look different, we think differently, we talk differently and have
different values. These differences have consequences and often fuel conflict and disagreement, despite the saying that
variety is the spice of life. We disagree about little things, and we argue about big things. For example, dress codes, ethnicity, politics, and religion. Though we are probably a bit more reluctant to make our views known, mindful of the consequences, we have learned to navigate some difference and we live with it. At our best, we may even celebrate it, because sometimes difference enriches us!
However, in various parts of the world and through time, the differences have been pushed to the limit, leading to violent clashes and bloodshed in two world wars and many other wars. Therefore, Remembrance Day is held as one to commemorate the contribution of millions who lost their lives – both military personnel and civilians.
Whatever we think, if we are to reimagine the future of our community, our nation and our world, then we must continue to live on that well-worn path of being able to argue well and live creatively with difference, without ending up with casualties. We must recall those times when arguments have gone beyond words. We must also remember with thanksgiving and sorrow those who lost their lives, in world wars and conflicts past and present. We long for love, friendship, welcome, acceptance, mercy, forgiveness, hope and, perhaps most importantly for today, peace. These are words that unite rather than divide and as God’s followers today we are challenged to live them and so in some small way anticipate the Kingdom of God of which Jesus often spoke.
That means being determined to attain and maintain peace. We must keep trying to argue well and hold what differences we have creatively. We are all different - and thank God we are, for if we were all the same, then life would be rather dull.
However, at this Remembrance time we come together as one, to renew our commitment to seek all that makes for peace. Faced with the evil of the world we can sometimes feel powerless. Even when we cannot do much about the war-torn regions of our world, we can, in our lives, in our arguments and disagreements, strive to live a different way, a way of peace and reconciliation.
As 1st Thessalonians 3:11,12 says - ‘May our God and Father Himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you.’
While we will always argue or debate, let us strive to play our part in building a world in which all have a valued place, where none is left behind and where all can live in peace.
Yours very sincerely
