Solidarity to all Irish mammas who are considering sending an apology note to the teacher for the condition of our child’s uniform & the fact that shoes are hanging together by a thread. 🥴🤣 👇 This is my son’s school T-shirt. Just 3 more days .. we got this mammies! 💪 🥴🤣

Thought provoking analysis from Dr John Crowe from TU Dublin. Essentially, the Republic needs the scale that Northern Ireland would add to it's economy. www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

On MONDAY 20TH APRIL, 7PM we are launching ‘Scéalta‘. “Scéalta” - is the Irish word for “Stories,” and captures the heart of our new ecumenical faith community. We will be based at Forthspring, Belfast… You are welcome to come along! Blessings Rev Karen

28 years ago the GFA was signed. Reconciliation remains an ongoing process, and I am thankful for all committed to the path of peace. The agreement also affirms the future of this island should be decided by its people… and it’s time our people get to decide! #NewIreland

Friends, Trump has now turned his hate towards the Pope. We must together stand against this. This isn’t Christianity. And love does conquer all… Blessed are the peacemakers! 🕊️ Let’s together join the Prayer Vigil for Peace… Saturday April 11th, 5pm.

Praying for the precious people of Iran this evening… it is NEVER okay to threaten to kill a ‘whole civilisation’ Friends, join me in prayer. Lord, have mercy!

He is Risen! We all have a story We all make mistakes We all make poor choices We all know failure Thank God for the Resurrection. He keeps ‘loving us back to life, over and over’ Death does not have the final say. Happy Easter Sunday, friends!

Holy Week .. In Jesus’ final days... He borrowed and arrived on a donkey, Washed dirty feet, Shared a meal with misfits, Felt abandoned, Forgave enemies, and went to the Cross because of His love for humanity. This is grace. Amazing Grace. It is Finished.

Jesus shared the meal with a group of misfits who… Doubted Him, Questioned Him, Denied Him And Betrayed him. We do not get to say who can sit at the table. We do not get to draw up the guest list. We do not get to judge. Pull up a chair. All welcome! #MaundyThursday

Just arrived in Paris for a few days to join other Faith Leaders from across Europe for ‘Peace Round Table’ discussions… looking forward to meeting everyone! 🇫🇷 🇮🇪 #PeaceAndReconciliation

This.

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig St Patrick ... the Saint of a shared faith. St Patrick ... the Saint of a shared island. #PreReformation

You can always tell the health of any nation in how it treats the most vulnerable in our communities.

Beware of those who use Christianity to justify what is happening across our world.. God is not behind the war God is not behind the bombs and the drones This is not Christianity! God is in the rubble-with those whose lives are being crushed and destroyed. Lord, have mercy!

Happy International Women’s Day! 💪 💚

Blessed are the stumblers and sinners!

Update: my beloved wife is now in psychiatric hospital The four and a half year route to getting this help has been a disgrace, with countless errors & failures along the way But the staff there are lovely and we hope this chapter will help get her some relief from her symptoms Thank you all

👇. Yep! 🤣🥴

Because we are heading towards International Women’s Day! 💪 💚

When we view the “other” as an enemy to be destroyed rather than a neighbour to live alongside in peace… we have abandoned a part of our humanity. Blessed are the peacemakers!

Friends, What is happening across the Middle East is frightening. My concern is our people from across our island… whether you hold a British or an Irish passport… We want you home safe! Contact the embassies … Irish foreign ministries (Irish embassy UAE) UK in UAE

Friends, Exciting news! After Easter, in partnership with the Forthspring InterCommunity Group, we will be launching ‘Scéalta Peace Community’ “Scéalta” is the Irish word for “Stories,” and captures the heart of our new faith community. All welcome-Stay posted for more details! Rev Karen 💚

When my wife was at her most unwell former Councillor Linzi McLaren was - behind the scenes - INCREDIBLY kind & helpful Political unionism - esp the UUP and its supporters - should be awake at night asking itself how it managed to lose such a talent @amanda.ie @brendanjharkin.bsky.social

There should be a full investigation. You can’t claim to be a peacemaker while ignoring injustice. Peace without accountability protects harm. Abuse of children/misuse of power - no matter your title/position… must be met with accountability. Justice for survivors isn’t optional-it’s necessary!

Patriarchy and misogyny may be part of church history… but that doesn’t make it Christian!

👇 Because it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow 😂 😆 💚

When your friend slips An tUachtarán your book! @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social x

It was such an honour today to be invited to meet with the President of Ireland to talk about the work of Ireland’s Future. Special shout out to my friend, Claire Mitchell, author of The Ghost Limb… we gave a copy of this phenomenal book to the President! 💚 @clairemitchell.bsky.social

Chuir an tUachtarán Catherine Connolly fáilte roimh Seanadóir Frances Black agus an tUrramach Karen Sethuraman ar chuairt chúirtéise inniu ag Áras an Uachtaráin. This afternoon President Connolly welcomed Senator Frances Black and Reverend Karen Sethuraman to Áras an Uachtaráin on a courtesy call.

Go peaceful in gentleness through the violence of these days. Show tenderness in all your ways. May you be known by love. Speak truthfully in a world of greed and lies. Show kindness. See everyone through heaven’s eyes. May you be known by love! ~Celtic Daily Prayer Blessings

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine ‘We live in each other’s shelter’ It was a privilege to share the work I do in Ireland with my Baptist friends and colleagues at Freshstreams & to hear their stories of all that is happening across the UK Thank you for the opportunity to be with you all!

And so Advent begins… Blessed are those who show compassion toward refugees… providing a home for those who seek shelter and safety. #TheChristmasStoryToday

I had the privilege today of sharing my work on peace and reconciliation with 40 Church of England clergy. It was also so lovely to reconnect with my wonderful friend, Becca. It’s great to be reminded that there are still strong voices of love, hope and compassion! #PeaceAndReconciliation

This little guy.. loves to dress up and knock our neighbours door for treats! 🤣 He is adorable. Friends, have a blessed 31st of October!

It was an honour to be in Leinster House today representing Ireland’s Future, and to spend time with Irish Presidential candidate, Catherine Connolly. She is a genuinely warm and compassionate person, deeply committed to the people of Ireland. We look forward to working with her in the time ahead.

When our Christianity makes the rich and powerful feel safe and supported and the poor and powerless feel unsafe and unsupported, that is when we can be sure we are following someone other than Jesus.

Love glancing over at the map on my office wall of our gorgeous island, and remembering why we do what we do... May we bring hope, healing and a sense of togetherness for us all. I LOVE this place we all call home! Let’s together build a Nation of Neighbours 💚 #NewIreland #EndPartition

Thanks to the guys at @think__32 for sending me their gorgeous tee! 💚 #Think32 #JoinTheConversation
