Magazine will launch on St Patrick’s Day pilgrimage
A magazine reflecting on the 2016 centenaries and looking hopefully to the future will be launched on our annual St Patrick’s Day pilgrimage from Saul to Down Cathedral.
100: Our Story of Healing, Honour and Hope is a collection of thoughts, interviews and essays that pause to reflect one hundred years on from the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme, while looking forward to a hope–filled story for the next one hundred years in our land.
Among a wide variety of features, the magazine includes interviews with the First Minister and Deputy First Minister, Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness, the Attorney General for Northern Ireland, John Larkin, and Ulster Rugby player, Ruan Pienaar. Other contributors include the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, former Lord Mayor of Belfast, Nichola Mallon, and artist, Ross Wilson.
The magazine forms part of a larger movement of prophetic prayer – 100 days of prayer for 100 years of history. This decade of centenaries has the potential to divide our community. We believe this is a significant moment for the church to unite and lead society in response to the historic events that have shaped the story of our land.
Our prayer is that this magazine helps move the conversation forward and, in a small way, contributes to healing of the past, honour in the present and hope for the future.
