Meet our board members

Norman retired a few years ago to the sunny climes of Ballymena after having been the minister of Ballysillan Presbyterian Church in North Belfast for over 25 years. His hobbies are gardening, walking and photography, all of which he does with more enthusiasm than skill. He is married to Evelyn and their daughter Julie is a maths lecturer.

John Kyle worked as a General Practitioner in Belfast and London for over 30 years. He is a Councillor on Belfast City Council, attends Christian Fellowship Church and is married to Helen.

Stephen worked in Health and Care management until 2009. Since then he has volunteered as a part-time volunteer and is involved in several other Christian organisations. He enjoys hill walking, simple gardening, easy DIY, walking in Crete and is always up for a conversation over a meal.

John works as a trainee solicitor at a leading commercial law firm. Having spent time in Lebanon and Palestine, he has a strong interest in Eastern Christianity. He is deeply committed to the restorative justice tradition, and to dialoguing across faith and cultural boundaries.

Cathy is originally from South Africa and is committed to promoting reconciliation and human flourishing in societies emerging from conflict. She is a PhD graduate from the Transitional Justice Institute at Ulster University. Currently she works as the research and curriculum development officer at Youthlink:NI.

Holly is delighted to serve on the Board of Contemporary Christianity. She has a heart for social justice, and enjoys conducting work in peace building and reconciliation.
