The Corrymeela Community was founded in 1965 as an ecumenical Christian Community which includes members from all of the Christian Denominations in Northern Ireland. It’s founder,  Ray Davey said of this Corrymeela: “ We hope that Corrymeela will come to be known as ‘the Open Village’: Open to all people of good will who are willing to meet each other, to learn from each other and work together for the good of all”.  For the last 50 years Corrymeela has sought to, and still seeks to work in the Power of God’s Love for this vision of reconciliation, love, justice and peace for everybody in Northern Ireland and throughout the world.
