Archbishop Eames to visit Derry
The Archbishop of Armagh, the Most Revd Dr Robin Eames, will speak at a special event in the Guildhall in Derry on Wednesday 18 January 2006 at 8.00 pm to launch the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
The Archbishop will be returning to the city where he served as bishop thirty years ago, to address a large inter-denominational gathering on the theme of reconciliation and forgiveness. The special form of service has been devised by Irish Christians from different church traditions, for use in many countries during Unity Week.
The service will be led by Bishop Ken Good, Church of Ireland, Bishop Seamus Hegarty, Roman Catholic Church, Revd Joe McCormack, Presbyterian Church and Revd Sam McGuffin, Methodist Church, and a large inter-denominational service choir will lead the singing.
Bishop Good said, ?This will be a significant and constructive event in the life of the city, and we as church leaders very much hope that Christian people of all ages and traditions will take the opportunity to meet together to in such an impressive setting.?
