ARCHBISHOP NEILL WELCOMES THE APPOINTMENTOF ARCHBISHOP DIARMUID MARTIN
The following statement has been issued by the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Revd John Neill.
"I have written to Archbishop Diarmuid Martin to offer him my sincere good and prayerful wishes on his appointment to the See of Dublin and Glendalough. I assure him of my prayers, and those of the Church of Ireland people in the United Dioceses as he takes on his new responsibilities. I look forward to working with him in the service of God's Kingdom, and I am sure that we will enjoy excellent personal relationships.
"Archbishop Martin brings to Dublin invaluable international knowledge and experience, and in the new scene in Ireland, this will be of immense importance. In this work, Archbishop Martin will have worked frequently within an ecumenical context, and such experience will contribute much as we witness together to the Gospel in a secular society.
"I rejoice for the Cardinal that he will have this support in his ministry in the Archdiocese, and thank him for the friendship and welcome he afforded to me on my appointment to this diocese last autumn."
