Archbishop Michael Neary News In Brief
The vandalism of a Church of Ireland church is “an attack on all Christians”, Archbishop Michael Neary has said.
Commenting on the vandalism of Holy Trinity Church in Errislannan, Clifden, Dr Neary pointed to the desecration of churches in Iraq and the Philippines over the past year, saying such actions “are a physical threat to worshipping Christians anywhere in the world”.
Detailing the “devastation” at the Galway church, he said: “This damage is not just a criminal act, rather it is an act motivated by anti-Christian sentiment and is a challenge to freedom of religious expression in Ireland today.”
