HTANI is delighted to host an online talk by Rev. Harold Good, former Director of Corrymeela, as part of Good Relations Week.
Tuesday 14th October 2025 7pm online
Harold Good was a Minister in the Shankill during the early years of the Troubles, and witnessed first-hand how Northern Ireland was torn apart by sectarianism and violence. This inspired him to dedicate his life to promoting peace and reconciliation. He become director of Corrymeela in 1973 and became a pivotal figure in helping to bring adversaries together, to discuss and frame a new way forward for Northern Ireland. In partnership with Father Alec Reid and others, he would ensure that talks on a different future would continue, even in unpredictable and seemingly unfavourable circumstances. He got to know the major figures in the Peace Process personally, and was trusted to be chosen as one of the two independent eyewitnesses to the decommissioning of IRA arms in 2005. His story is inspirational and the insights he offers on figures such as Martin McGuinness and Rev. Ian Paisley and others, as well as other events that he witnessed, will help historians fully understand the Peace Process.
‘Rev. Harold Good’s story is one of faith, reconciliation, charity, and hope, and the story of his life is inspirational.’
– Senator George Mitchell
HTANI are delighted to give teachers and others the opportunity to listen to the Rev. Good’s story and the chance to ask him questions on his life experiences and involvement in the Peace Process.
