Writings

Since 2000, Ward Stothers has been actively preparing for the ministry in order to work in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, to assist in the area of reconciliation amongst the Irish people.  He has gifts of teaching and preaching using poetic language. 

Ward participated in a summer peace making institute with Reverend Jim Macdonell in 2004 where he met with community, political and religious leaders in the peace movement in Ireland. He returned in 2006 and 2007 and participated in Biblical Faith for a Changing World, and Kingdom Come Ireland, both church leader conferences.
