"It was with great pleasure that I learned today of the recognition given to the Reverend Harold Good, former President of the Methodist Church in Ireland, by his nomination for the World Methodist Peace Award. The award affirms Harold Good's work for peace in Northern Ireland over many years, culminating in his witnessing, with Father Alec Reid, the decommissioning of IRA weapons.
