Selected Highlights
Cultural Walking Tours: Churches in Belfast
Description
In their various forms, Churches have been part of the life of Belfast people for a long time.
Jonathan Swift (later Dean Swift, the author of Gulliver’s Travels) knew Belfast well. In the 18th century one Catholic church was built with the financial help from Church of Ireland and Presbyterian churches. Amy Carmichael (an Irish Christian missionary) left Rosemary Street Presbyterian Church and spent 55 years in India helping women and children.
Famous church men in the twentieth century include W P Nicholson and Ian Paisley.
Comfortable shoes and rainproof clothing are advised.
