The President of the Methodist Church in Ireland, the Revd Donald Kerr addressed General Synod today.

He said there had experienced within the Church of Ireland “a very genuine desire” for the covenant relationship with the Methodist Church.

In the last analysis our calling under God is not to denominationality, it is to be in the right place for divine transformation...it’s a matter of trusting ourselves and trusting God.”

He ended with a prayer, “make us not merely guardians of a heritage but living signs of the coming Kingdom....through the power of the Holy Spirit make us one. There is risk in that prayer but if we serve the God of resurrection, dare we pray anything else.”
