Hear from clergy who were on the ground during June's race riots, as they share how churches responded and what we can learn for the future.

When race riots broke out in June, churches across Northern Ireland didn't stand back.

They opened their doors. They offered practical help. They stood alongside neighbours who were frightened and in need.

Join the Irish Council of Churches to hear from clergy who were on the ground during those difficult days. They'll share what happened, how their communities came together, and the impact their response had on the people around them.

This is a chance to listen, to learn from people who were there, and to think honestly about how we might respond if we ever face something similar again.
