'˜Paramilitaries have had their day': Shankill pastor
Prayer vigils and walks of Christian witness are among a range of events planned to mark the 25th anniversary of the New Life City Church – with a special emphasis on the need for a society free from “intimidation, threats, punishment beatings and exclusions”.
Pastor Jack McKee said the church plans 40 days of “positive activities” between February 19 and March 30, made up of 39 days of worship and one “special” day to end the initiative on Good Friday.
