Fr Martin Magill is known by some as a peacemaker priest. He is parish priest at St Johns on the Falls Road in Belfast and is also an author and organiser of the Four Corners' Festival. He’s someone who is constantly crossing divides and brings much energy into behind the scenes conversations on issues of justice & peacemaking.
Here, he shares how his journeys to school in north Belfast exposed him to the fraught reality of Troubles’ life. He also talks candidly about the cost of raising his voice on contentious issues such as policing and issues a heartfelt plea to churches here to end ‘religious wars’.
