THE MOST REV DR ROBIN EAMES
ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH, PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND
Comments on the death of Dr. Jack Weir
former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland
| Tuesday 19th September 2000
"I will always remember Jack Weir as a committed Presbyterian who wanted to reach out with understanding and charity in those early days of Irish ecumenism to Christians of other traditions. He was one of the pioneers of ecumenism in this island, and his courage when, with others, he met the IRA at Feakle will long be remembered. I admired him greatly, not least in his long battle with ill health." |
