A statement from the Diocese regarding Newry Parish
A statement issued by the Diocese of Down and Dromore regarding Newry Parish
The Revd Kingsley Sutton, rector of Newry, has acted against the clear instruction of the bishop in removing Royal British Legion flags from St Patrick’s and St Mary’s churches. In light of this he has been asked by the bishop to step back from ministry for a period of time as every attempt is made to find a resolution.
The diocese will be holding the rector, the parishioners and all concerned in prayer over this difficult time.
