Irish Inter–Church Committee congratulates Bishop John McDowell on his election as Archbishop of Armagh
The Co–Chairs of the Irish Inter–Church Meeting have released the following statement to congratulate Bishop John McDowell on his election as Archbishop of Armagh.
Bishop Brendan Leahy and the Rev Brian Anderson stated: “During his time as ICC President and Co–Chair of the Irish Inter–Church Meeting from 2016–2018 Bishop John led many important inter–church initiatives across the island of Ireland. His thoughtful contributions on the pastoral challenges arising from issues such as Brexit, commemorations and the unfinished work of reconciliation have shaped and informed our inter–church dialogue and we look forward to continuing to work with him in his new role.
Bishop John will bring many gifts to the leadership of the Archdiocese of Armagh and we wish him every blessing for the future.”
