And now the beauty of the church at Clonard from which the first peace talks began

Our first stop is in the Shankill area, as our guide explains that the city is still divided - physically - in his research there was agreement there would be peace, but that the walls would never come down.

Tonight's talk at @SionCollege, hearing about death penalty ministry in Louisiana from Deacon Charles DeGravelles, was one of the most powerful and impressive I have heard. I thank God we do not have the death penalty in the UK and pray for the day it will end.
