Dr David Gallagher critically assesses the contribution of Methodism to peace-making. His recently published book on this subject draws on his own experience and the recollections of fellow Methodists and others. The talk explores the legacy of the Feakle talks of 1974 and outlines the ground-breaking initial meetings with Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness decades later.
Free event. No booking required.

Déanfaidh an Dr. David Gallagher measúnú criticiúil ar an méid a chuir an Modhachas le síocháin a dhéanamh. Baineann an leabhar ar an ábhar seo, a bhí foilsithe aige ar na mallaibh, leas as a eispéireas féin agus as cuimhní cinn a chomhMhodhach agus dhaoine eile. Pléifidh an chaint seo stair agus oidhreacht chainteanna Feakle in 1974 agus tabharfaidh sí achoimre ar na chéadchruinnithe ceannródaíocha le Gearóid Mac Ádhaimh agus Máirtín Mag Aonghusa sna deicheanna de bhlianta níos moille.
