Bishop of Connor's Statement on Attacks at Massereene Barracks, Co.Antrim

Statement by the Bishop of Connor

From the Right Revd Alan Abernethy, Bishop of Connor:

'The attack at Massereene Barracks last night was an evil act that cannot be justified. Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved, the injured and all who are devastated by this awful moment. This tragic event is a reminder to us of how much we all still have to do to pursue peace. We are still a deeply divided society. Politicians, church people and communities have much to do together so that we are not deflected by evil and to ensure that our words and actions speak only of peace.'
