Fifth edition of 'The Review' out now

With the close of the 2026 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI) just two and a half weeks ago, the all-Ireland denomination has published the latest edition of The Review – PCI’s 14-page online snapshot of the debates, decisions, and news from its annual meeting, which took place from 9-12 June.

With over 20 stories, photography that captures the four days in June - which drew ministers and elders from PCI’s 500-plus congregations from across the island to the Church’s highest decision-making body - it also includes embedded links that take readers to the reports and resolutions that were discussed, with additional access to more information on some of the stories.

Where to find 'The Review'

There are a number of ways you can read The Review. It is available here on issuu.com and on this website, were you can download it from the 2026 General Assembly Hub.

The fifth edition was welcomed by Mark Neale, PCI’s Head of Communications,

“I hope that through The Review, readers will get a good idea of some of the key issues that were before this year’s General Assembly, and some of the decisions that were taken.

“The meeting in Belfast took place during a time of significant civil unrest, and was affected by the resulting disruption, which is reflected in The Review. As we prayed, and spoke into that situation, there is also coverage on developments in safeguarding, mission in Ireland and overseas, use of NDAs and issues in the public square.

“Written in a newsy style it also has some great photography, and along with the website, our social media platforms, Presbyterian Herald, The PCI News Digest, podcasts, and other media, The Review is an important additional communication tool for us as a denomination.

“As we work to inform and communicate what PCI does to as wider audience as possible, it is also part of an ongoing commitment to create a greater understanding of what we do as part of the broader community on the island of Ireland, and as part of Christ’s global church.”

General Assembly Hub

Along with The Review, you will also find various news stories, videos, the schedule of business, the Blue Book and Supplementary Reports, plus recordings of the business sessions and worship that took place during the 2026 General Assembly, here on the 2026 General Assembly Hub.

A full report on proceedings will be included in the September edition of the Presbyterian Herald.
