Ray Heasley (1974)

The son of a Local Preacher, I grew up in Belfast and became accredited there in 1974, in the Agnes Street church, which is no longer there. (I believe mine was the last trial sermon there, before the building burnt down!)

Important influences on my faith and preaching include my family, several ministers who went on to become Methodist Presidents in either Ireland or Great Britain, and my experience at university where I rediscovered the written and living word.

I have worked in Further Education, as a lecturer and manager, for about 30 years. I have always been keen to encourage churches to work together, and was a founder member of the Beeston Ecumenical Group, which became Churches Together in Beeston and Chilwell. I have also worked at, and retain links with, the inter-denominational Corrymeela Community in Northern Ireland.
