Reasons to be cheerful

A lot of my time and attention is taken up with the challenges we see on the horizon.

The quicker we are to spot possible issues, the easier it is to respond in an effective way. It’s not always possible though and sometimes you get caught out. The recent changes to abortion law in Northern Ireland is a case in point. Few were predicting at the time that a procedural Bill which was designed to extend negotiations for the return of the NI Assembly would be hijacked to affect one of the biggest ever abortion law changes this country has seen.

Sometimes I get discouraged in the work CARE and others are involved in. You end up feeling as if the work is pointless because there seems to be so little real progress. With ongoing challenges for street preachers, concerning developments on life issues and things like divorce being made easier, 2020 will no doubt be a very challenging year.
