We are pleased to announce that Reverend Karen Sethuraman has agreed to become a member of Ireland’s Future.
Reverend Sethuraman is the first female Baptist Minister on the island of Ireland.
She is currently a Pastor of a peace and reconciliation hub based in Belfast.
As a champion of social justice, Reverend Sethuraman feels particularly called to minister outside the church walls.
Reverend Sethuraman is a former Chaplain to two Belfast Lord Mayors.
Reverend Sethuraman will join the Events Group within Ireland’s Future.
Commenting today she said:
“I am delighted to join Ireland’s Future. I am looking forward to playing my part in the growing and vibrant conversations that are currently taking place in all four corners of our island.
We need a constructive debate across the island to establish the best way forward for all. I would like to positively contribute to that debate.
I would also like to take this opportunity to appeal to the Irish Government to convene an all island Citizens’ Assembly as a matter of urgency. There are many questions that remain unanswered and I hope the Government will play its part by planning and preparing for the time ahead.”
