    Why the 'Hard Gospel'?

    In determining what to call this initiative the words of a retired rector quoted in a Scoping Study Report proved inspirational. He said “I want to see a return to the hard gospel…that you love God and love your neighbour as yourself.” So began the “Hard Gospel” process which, as the Standing Committee of the Church points out, conveys the willingness of the Church of Ireland to be challenged by the Gospel.
