Methodist Church statement following the North Belfast attack


The Methodist Church in Ireland strongly condemns the attack that took place in North Belfast last night. The thoughts and prayers of the Methodist people in Ireland are with the victim, his family, and those affected by or who witnessed this traumatic incident.

We urge everyone to act with calmness and responsibility and to allow the PSNI to continue their investigation. We strongly condemn any attempt to inflame tensions, spread misinformation, or sow division in our communities. Rather, we encourage community leadership at all levels to help calm any tensions and provide forums in which genuine concerns can be expressed.

Events like this can heighten anxiety and fear for minority groups who are an integral part of our communities. Every human being is made in God’s image and we continue to pray for a society in which everyone feels safe.

President Bishop Sarah Grove’s Easter message: This Easter, we once again focus on the message of good news in the cross of Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus made visible an unconditional love for everyone regardless of their background, class or cultural identity. At the core of the cross and resurrection is the formation of a community that transcends cultural values and works towards the flourishing of all. It is a message of hope and acceptance.

In the Old Testament, God commands the people to love the ‘alien who resides with you’ (Leviticus 19: 33-34). Jesus taught us that we are called to love our neighbour both locally and globally and exemplified this by reaching across barriers to welcome young and old into the kingdom. As Christians, we continue to support policies that are grounded in compassion for the poor, support for the stranger and embracing the outcast. I condemn any use of Christian language that runs in opposition to this. The good news of the cross is that no one culture can feel superior to another. The good news of the resurrection is that there is abundant life offered to people of all creeds and none, and there is a Christian community that embraces all where everyone can feel secure and valued.
