Church Leaders welcome political developments
The announcement on Monday 26 March 2007 from the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party and the President of Sinn Féin represents an important and welcome development in the search for a stable future for Northern Ireland.
Along with many others, our Churches have long encouraged local politicians to work towards a devolved government for Northern Ireland and we trust that this is now to be realised.
We would encourage all to continue to pray for our whole community and our future together. It is important that everybody continues to build a country where all are valued, difference is respected and peace and harmony can flourish.
