The Mission

A deeper purpose behind the tour

The Mission

More than just a walk

The Church, State, and Rebellion Tour is more than just a historical walking tour. It is designed to spark thought and dialogue about the ongoing relationship between faith, politics, and governance in society.
How faith has shaped this city

Belfast City Centre Chaplaincy

How faith has shaped this city

At the Belfast City Centre Chaplaincy, we believe that understanding the past helps us navigate the complexities of the present. As you walk the streets of Belfast, we invite you to reflect on how religious faith has shaped not only this city but the entire world. Through the stories of collaboration, conflict, justice, and rebellion, we hope to offer a deeper understanding of how these dynamics still affect our lives today.

Our mission is to explore these topics thoughtfully, encouraging participants to consider how the interaction between Church and State continues to influence communities around the globe.

Christian Ministry

Supporting the welfare of everyone

Belfast City Centre Chaplaincy is an interdenominational Christian ministry that seeks to support the welfare of everyone working, living and relaxing in Belfast City Centre. Our trained Chaplains do not preach, but with sensitivity provide supportive services.

Our Lead Chaplain is the Reverend Andrew Irvine, one of the tour guides at Church State and Rebellion. Andrew is a Minister in The Methodist Church in Ireland and is based in Belfast Central Mission, Glengall Street, Belfast. 

Our mission is to be the body of Christ, tangible and present, among people in Belfast City Centre. Our Chaplains dedicate themselves to an ongoing presence in specific places within the City Centre, building long-term, non-judgmental, listening, relationships in these places
