North Belfast Christmas Peace Walk

Two days ago more than 400 students from across the divide in North Belfast marched to promote peace as we move into 2016.  The students were all from local secondary schools and included all sectors.

Amongst the marchers was our own Fr. Martin Magill and other clergymen such as Rev. Stephen Thompson. Representatives from the Catholic Church, Presbyterian Church, Elim Church and the Church of Ireland were all in attendance at the march.

North Belfast needs more of these events and hopefully it will be something that can be built upon into the future.

 

 

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
