The most recent formal meeting took place on 15 April 2021 - when I met with the leaders of the all island Christian Churches including the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Ireland, the Presbyterian Church, the Methodist Church and the Irish Council of Churches. We discussed the ongoing contribution to peace building, and the work that Churches undertake on an ongoing basis at community level in Northern Ireland.
Both the Church Leaders and I recognise the importance of engagement and respect for all communities and traditions on these islands.
Like public representatives generally, I meet church leaders informally from time to time in the course of attending official or public events.
