Hard Gospel Project welcomes the launch of Sinn Fein's Unionist Charter

Hard Gospel Project has welcomed the launch of Sinn Fein's Unionist Charter today.
 
Commenting on the initiative, the Hard Gospel Director, Revd Earl Storey said:
 
"A public commitment to an open and peaceful process of engagement from Sinn Fein towards the Unionist community is to be welcomed.
 
"Sinn Fein will understand the difficulties the Unionist community feel, given the nature of Republican violence against the Unionist community during the Troubles. However, engagement between the communities offers the only hope for a peaceful future. Engagement involves listening by all sides and a willingness to face difficult questions."
 
The Hard Gospel Project was founded by the Church of Ireland in 2005 to address the hard issues of sectarianism and to stimulate fresh and creative thinking about finding a shared future in the Ireland of the 21st century.
