Let Justice Flow Like Rivers

Creation Care Conference | Saturday 17 January 2026 | Newry

Following the visit of Church leaders Group to Lough Neagh in July 2025, the Irish Council of Churches and the Irish Inter Church Meeting invite you to Let Justice Flow Like Rivers, a one-day Creation Care Conference which will be held on Saturday 17 January 2026, from 10.00am – 3.30pm, in the Canal Court Hotel.

The Church Leaders’ visit to Lough Neagh represented a moment of listening, prayer and witness where the impacts of poor stewardship, pollution and climate change were experienced up close by the Church Leaders Group. The visit revealed the beauty of Lough Neagh as a shared natural treasure, but it also allowed all to talk about the serious ecological crisis it faces, from pollution and algal blooms to the loss of livelihoods and biodiversity. That visit now becomes a call to action and a wider invitation from the Church leaders to reflect, learn and act together.

Rooted in faith, justice, and responsibility for creation, the conference brings together theology, science, and lived experience. Keynote contributors include Jim McAdam, Hilary Marlow, and Gail Heffner, alongside presentations from local church and community initiatives. Minister Andrew Muir will attend, along with a representative of the Irish Government.

Reflecting on care for our common home, Archbishop Eamon Martin reminds us that God will ask whether we have cared for the world entrusted to us, and for one another. 

Tickets (£10) are available via Eventbrite.
