Sympathy from Bishop of Connor on Death of Revd Roy Magee

Statement by Bishop Alan Abernethy on the Death of Reverend Roy Magee, OBE

I have learned with sadness of the passing of the Revd Roy Magee, a man of integrity and spiritual strength who, in quiet and sometimes untold ways, left an immense mark for the better in the communities in which he ministered in both East and North Belfast. I had the privilege of knowing him during my own ministry in Dundonald and also found him to be supportive in a personal capacity.

I extend my sympathy to the Magee family circle and to the wider Presbyterian Church family.

Rt Revd Alan Abernethy, Bishop of Connor

ENDS
