Northern Ireland: BBC Radio 4 Sunday Worship (2007-05-20): Celebrating Northern Ireland power-sharing: “From Fitzroy Presbyterian Church, Belfast, where Presbyterians and Catholics from the Clonard–Fitzroy Fellowship mark the return of a devolved power-sharing government to Northern Ireland. Led by the Very Rev Dr Kenneth Newell.” I met the Very Revd Newell on my trip to Northern Ireland in 2003.
Russia and abroad: The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia is formally reunited with the Russian Orthodox Church.
Yesterday there was a discussion on a motion on Darfur at the Transitional Assembly in Belfast. There was a remarkable and encouraging consensus on this issue in the chamber.
Here are the Commons (Westminster Hall) debate and the Dáil debate on a similar topic late last November, and the debate in the European Parliament last September.
Wow! The Pitstop Ploughshares were acquitted!
Back in 2003, these Irish activists damaged a US military plane. (P&C post #2 was about them. I’ve been told the AP has a story about this, but the only other reportage I find online is from Counterpunch.)
Pie and Coffee proudly presents: “The Real Saint Patrick” by The Duffy Brothers.

Some say the only good things to come out of Ireland are James Joyce and Lucky Charms. Add to that reports of the Pitstop Ploughshares trial in Dublin. This trial combines antiwar activism, Irish constitutional law (should a neutral country help the US wage war?), and, from today’s reports, lots of arguments over what evidience is even admissible. Featuring reportage from both Irishmen and Americans.
Update: The trial ended in a mistrial. Now it’s up to the State to decide if they will be tried again.
After the thanksgiving and intercession, we will close with the prayer of Jesus, the modern version, on the back of Rejoice and Sing. Now let us pray.
1.
Lord,
our sustainer,
healer,
and comforter,
thank you for this beautiful autumn,
for the maple trees and apple trees.
Lord, in your mercy, HEAR OUR PRAYER.
