Summer Unrest
The past few days there has been some unrest in Belfast as we are approaching the Twelfth of July. Rather than celebrating the success of Rory McIlroy, violence and hatred have been at the forefront of people's minds. For two nights there were riots about 2 miles from our home, but we have been largely unaffected by the violence. A majority in Belfast desire to leave the rioting and violence in the past, but there is a minority that still feel strong hate toward the opposite side of the community. After peace talks yesterday and more strategic police initiatives, last night was largely calm. We will be praying for the Holy Spirit to intervene with love and peace over the next weeks and would ask that you join us in this prayer.
