Bringing together two unique traditions, they celebrated their love at St Bernard’s Church in a wonderful service officiated by Gary and Deacon Kieran Hunt.

Rethinking Conflict was delighted to host our colleagues from the Western North Carolina UMC for an intensive eight-day programme in Belfast.

Together, we explored the complexities of religion and conflict transformation.
