Welcoming and Open Congregations in Ireland
| Whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome in this place. We are an inclusive Christian community in the Anglican tradition in the heart of Cork seeking to serve God, follow Christ, and change the world. Starting with ourselves. We trust in the Spirit of God who opens up new and liberating ways to experience the love of God. We are welcoming of both human experience and human diversity. We are committed to using the Bible seriously, and seek to understand it in the light of that same experience and diversity, and of what this age knows and Biblical writers did not, and could not, know. We are committed to a Church that conveys the Christian message in signs and symbols, especially in the sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist. We are committed to taking all people seriously – married and single people, gay and straight, those who have a natural faith and those who struggle with belief. We are committed to identifying and affirming what is good and identifying and opposing what is evil, and living as best we can in the confusion in the middle. Kilmocomogue Union of Parishes.

We acknowledge that this is Good News for people regardless of their sex, race or sexual orientation. We believe that, in order to strengthen the Gospel's proclamation of justice to the world, and for the greater glory of God, the Church's own common life must be justly ordered. To that end, we call on our Church to live out the promise of the Gospel; to celebrate the diverse gifts of all members of the body of Christ; and in the ordering of our common life to open the ministries of deacon, priest and bishop to those so called to serve by God, regardless of their sex, race or sexual orientation Kinneigh Union of Parishes, West Cork The Select Vestry of Kinneigh Union agreed at a meeting on Thursday the 15th of March 2012,that it wishes details of all its churches and services to be listed on the Changing Attitude Ireland website.
