The Presbyterian and The Priest‘s Podcast

In this episode we sit down and chat forgiveness and reconciliation with Rev. Mervyn Gibson. While some might only know Mervyn through his role with the Orange Order, we wanted to hear his story, and gain his perspective on what forgiveness and reconciliation might look like for Northern Ireland. And what a time of year to hear from him - although this episode was recorded near Christmas time, we kept it until now!

It has taken a long time to upload our next episode in which we joined Rev. John Dunlop to talk about 'Bonding & Bridging'. As we explore what forgiveness looks like in the midst of reconciliation, this concept is hugely important. As always if you have any questions please get in touch via presbyterianandpriest@gmail.com even if it's only to ask where we've been!

In this latest episode we welcome back Ken Newell, a familiar voice to all those connected with the Fitzroy/Clonard partnership, and an important voice over the years to forgiveness and reconciliation in Northern Ireland. Amongst other questions we ask Ken his thoughts on what part these might play in the future of Northern Ireland.

In this episode of Series 8 we welcome David Smyth of the Evangelical Alliance to our conversation on forgiveness and reconciliation. More can be found out about the Evangelical Alliance (And David) at https://www.eauk.org/author/david-smyth and as always, if you have something you'd like to ask us, or a direction you'd like to point us in, please get in touch at presbyterianandpriest@gmail.com

As we begin series 8 we are thinking about forgiveness and reconciliation. Ciaran and I, after a bit of a catchup, will give our own perspectives and thoughts before looking forward to who and what we hope to engage on throughout the series
