I am saddened by the death of Ray Davey, the Presbyterian Minister who was one of the founders of the Corrymeela Community. My wife was also there in the early days.

Ray was a Minister of the Broadway Church on the Falls Road, across the road from my paternal grandparents. It is now An Cultúrlann, the Irish language centre.

Better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

May he rest in peace. He deserves it.
