The Church of Ireland Gazette

This is the official Church Of Ireland Gazette page. Its name was changed to The Church of Ireland Gazettein 1900.

This page will be updated with news headlines from each issue.To order your copy check out this link - http://www.coigazette.net/?page_id=15 First published in March 1856 as a monthly journal under the title, The Irish Ecclesiastical Gazette, the Gazette became weekly in 1880. A full archive of back copies is held at the Representative Church Body Library, Braemor Park, Dublin. The Memorandum of A

ssociation of the Church of Ireland Press Ltd, the the company which owns the Gazette and which was incorporated in 1964, indicates as follows: “The object for which the company is established is to advance the Christian religion among the people of Ireland in accordance with the doctrines of the Church of Ireland by publication and distribution of a weekly Christian newspaper…”. While the Articles of Association of the Church of Ireland Press Ltd stipulate that the Association “shall consist of such persons as may be approved from time to time by the Standing Committee of the General Synod of the Church of Ireland”, the newspaper is editorially independent of the Church of Ireland, the views expressed in the newspaper, including editorial comment, not necessarily reflecting official Church of Ireland policy.

Following the devastation of the fire that destroyed the Church of the Holy Name in Greenisland, it was heartening to see the strength, faith, and resilience of the parish as the community came together in the aftermath of the blaze. We look at the response to the tragedy in the October issue of the Gazette, out now in print and online. Photo by Rev'd Chris Bennett.

On Agatha Christie's birthday, we celebrate the Queen of Crime. Rev'd Christopher West looks at the influence of Christianity on Christie's novels in this month's Gazette, out now in print and online. 'Christie is often celebrated for her thoughtful and intricate plots and compellingly drawn, complex characters, but less frequently discussed is the deep Christian influence that permeates her work and personal life.'

'This has been a summer of discontent like few others across these islands, and no one seems to truly know what prompted pensionable men and women, children, and an assortment of AN Others to heap such misery and hatred on society.' John Deane-O'Keeffe reflects on a summer of riots and fearmongering - read his thoughts in our September issue, out now in print and online: https://gazette.ireland.anglican.org/

To start us off, our editor Emma Blain discusses how the Olympics led her to reflect on the nature of pride and community: "And what of us mere mortals, who will never graduate beyond the school pitches? Those of us who would struggle in an egg-and-spoon race, or who find that a kickabout in a five-a-side is as much exercise as we can handle for a week. Those of us who never had that competitive streak, or those who always tried, but mostly failed, to get to the podium. What about those of us who find that the battle of daily life is tough enough to fight, without bringing any competitive element to the table?"

"How do we judge the past and those who have gone before us? Much of modern commentary seems to be incandescent with rage that our predecessors had not the foresight to think as we do. But is it right to judge the past by the standards of today?" Stephen Farrell reflects on a unique historical tale in the summer issue of the Gazette, out now in print and online: https://gazette.ireland.anglican.org/

"Shockingly, approximately every two minutes someone in our world finds out that they have leprosy, with 10% of those cases found in children."

Our summer issue is now available and is full of news and stories from across the island. First up this month - congratulations are in order for our editor, Emma Blain, for her success in the recent local elections. In this month's editorial, Emma reflects on her experiences on the campaign trail, and her great affection for her Church of Ireland community: "For the last number of months, I’ve been in the unusual position of having a daily glimpse into people’s homes, their routines, their gripes, and their grievances." https://gazette.ireland.anglican.org/

"When Stephen Dedalus, modelled on the young Joyce, is asked in 'A Portrait' whether given his rejection of Catholic dogma he ‘intends to become a protestant’, Stephen answers rhetorically: ‘What kind of liberation would that be to forsake an absurdity which is logical and coherent and to embrace one which is illogical and incoherent?’ However, it should not come as a surprise that Joyce engages with Anglicanism, and Protestantism more generally, in his fiction, both as a self-conscious ‘rebel’ against the Catholic Church, and as an artist concerned with both realism and the aesthetic and emotional power of language, including religious language." Readers of the Gazette can continue to bask in the spirit of Bloomsday with this fascinating piece on Anglicanism in the work of James Joyce, written by Daniel Esmonde Deasy, Associate Professor of Philosophy at UCD and Director of the UCD Newman Centre for the Study of Religions.

"We need to listen Gen Z. We need to find out how they seek to encounter God. We can’t afford to speak down to them or to patronise them... But there’s no point in listening to the Gen Z of the Church of Ireland if we don’t do something for them. We need to empower this generation." Thoughts on the role of Gen Z, and how to empower young members of the Church of Ireland, from Rev'd Canon Paul Arbuthnot - read his opinion piece today in the May 2024 issue of the Gazette, out now in print and online: https://gazette.ireland.anglican.org/

"Walking along the seafront is always a therapeutic experience - the wind (or breeze, depending on the weather) is always a few degrees lower than inland, which is wonderful for clearing the mind, and the sky that meets the sea never fails to provide a beautiful landscape. The more dramatic the weather, the closer it seems to a painting than a photograph." - With the summer holidays on the horizon, our editor Emma Blain celebrates the lifesaving work of the RNLI in the May issue of the Gazette, out now online and in print. https://gazette.ireland.anglican.org/subscribe/

"The memory of IARCCUM will live long with me and I hope will be a stimulus for continued fruitful ecumenical engagement..."

"I think we have to concede that to photograph something changes
the nature of what is happening. A wedding is profoundly solemn - it is a liminal moment when man and woman stand in the sight of God and declare their marriage. It requires all their concentration and it deserves all their focus. And that means we have to be careful about distractions, including cameras too close to the action."
Very Rev'd Stephen Farrell thinks about the role of photography in church weddings - and tells us about his "resting priest face"! - in this month's Gazette, available now online and in print.

Our April 2024 issue is here! On World Autism Awareness Day it seems fitting to share some questions raised by our editor Emma Blain in this month's editorial: "How can we make sure that Sunday School or Messy Church are places in which neurodivergent children feel comfortable and included? How can we ensure that Morning Prayer is somewhere our neurodivergent adults feel secure to worship?"

"Sometimes it’s the smallest things that can make the biggest difference in ensuring that God’s house is a welcome place for all."

"We are each implicated in the sorrow of Calvary in one way or another: because for all of us there have been times when we have closed our eyes and ears and shut our mouths when we might well have spoken, when we might have done our little bit of good..." Words to consider during Easter week from Rev'd Aonghus Mayes. Full piece available to read in our March 24 issue, available online or in print now: https://gazette.ireland.anglican.org/subscribe/

"Replacing lightbulbs with LEDs, putting up bird boxes, sowing wildflowers, and recycling scrap metal are just some of the initiatives set up by the Eco Committee in Carnmoney Parish, Diocese of Connor. The projects are not only having a positive impact on the environment in and around the Church of the Holy Evangelists, but are literally saving the parish hundreds of pounds." Read all about the forward-looking initiatives of this local eco group in the March 2024 issue of the Gazette, out now in print and online. https://gazette.ireland.anglican.org/
