All Things Considered: Faith in Northern Ireland

Faith in Northern Ireland

BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, Faith in Northern Ireland

Roy Jenkins examines faith in Northern Ireland following the death of Martin McGuinness.

Roy Jenkins examines the state of faith in Northern Ireland following the death of Martin McGuinness, whose unlikely friendship with the late Ian Paisley spanned a divide.

The death of Martin McGuinness, and before him Ian Paisley, mark the end of an unlikely friendship which spanned a divide. After events in Westminster have again put terrorism in the front of our minds, Roy Jenkins examines the relationship between religious faith and Northern Ireland's historic troubles; finds out how churches there are responding to the new reality; and asks what faith communities of Northern Ireland can teach the world.

With Roy are:

Dr Gladys Ganiel, a Research Fellow at the Senator George J Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queen's University Belfast.

Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet, theologian and leader of the peace and reconciliation organisation the Corrymeela Community. 

Rev Brian Anderson, Methodist Minister and Vice President of the Irish Council of Churches.
