Faith and Community: How Churches Responded to the Race Riots

Run by Irish Council of Churches

Join us to hear from churches on how they took action during the race riots and the impact on their communities as they did.

Hosted by the Irish Council of Churches, we will be joined by clergy members who were on the ground during the race riots in June, sharing their experiences and reflecting on what we can learn from them.

We’ll hear stories of communities across Northern Ireland coming together to support one another and offer practical help in a time of need. It will be an opportunity to hear directly from those involved, learn from their experiences, and consider how we might respond if faced with a similar situation in the future.

Lunch will be provided.
