Travellers Tales
He describes early experiences in the US, helping out as an interim pastor in a black church in Indianapolis in the late-60s, and the humbling grace he found amongst the congregation as they insisted he continue to minister to them, though he felt he should find someone who could better empathise with what they were feeling, in their shock and horror at Martin Luther King’s murder. And all he learned there he brought back to Northern Ireland, to a church on Belfast’s Shankhill Road, just as the violence, mistrust and fear of The Troubles was starting to escalate.
Harold carries a lifetime’s wisdom about how to rebuild relationships and trust, and what it means to forgive and to be forgiven.
