All Salnts, Parish Church Antrlm Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 (contlnued) Herlta All Saints. Parish Church in Antrim wa5 built in 1596 and has been described by Dr Paul Larmour. one of Ireland's leading architectural historian5, as the finest example of an Elizabethan Gothic church in Ireland. The church building continues to be the central focus for any major acts of civic worship, the most recent being a serwice of commemoration following the death of Queen Elizabeth11 in September 2023, at which the mayor and representatives of the Council attended. Although the physical building is over 425 years old and has been the focal point In the lives of so many people, we are grateful that it continues to be a place where the Ilving stones, the disciples of Jesus. still come to worship and receive their spiritual guidance and direction. We take seriously our duty with regards the safe keeping of parish records and items of historical interest. and these can be viewed on request by interested parties. In conclu51on, All Saints, 15 a thriving and vibrant church, with an industrious clergy team and church services well attended. The parish is in a sound financial posltion, and this report aims to cover examples of the activities of life and worship that goe5 on in the church enabled by a wide range of volunteers. Our Ilnks with local churches help to ensure the Christian religion continues to thrive throughout the Antrim area. Antrim was once statistically Northern Ireland'5, most Sectarian town. Thankfully. through the lead of several local churches including All saints, inltlatives such as the Borough's Community Safety Partnershlp and the Civic Forum (which dealt with flags and emblems issues>, the town is a more settled area and incidents of a sectarian nature have diminished. The clergy from All Salnts, 5t Jude's Muckamore, Antrim Methodist, Hlgh Street Presbyterian, St Joseph's and St Comgall's parishes and Antrim Christlan Fellowshlp Church meet quarterly for prayer breakfasts in the 'Top of the Town,. The Social 8atherlng helps cement the cordial relatlonships bctween the clergy, evaluate the previou5 events and make plans for comin8 actlvities. In a town where each of these denominatlons are relatively strong and wlth full parish activities, it is encoura8ing that every effort is made to look beyond our own denomlnational boundaries. Our joint Holy Week services, Walk of Witness and Lou8h Shore Dawn Communion on Easter Sunday are a very significant Sl8n of the good relations that exist not only between the clergy but the parishloners of the above denominations. In December. a packed congre8ation from all the town'5 churches joined together in High Street Presbyterian Church to celebrate 50 years in their relocated church premlses. We appreciate the tremendous efforts of our clergy and acknowledge how they strive to keep pushir)g forward and developing ways to attract more people of all ages into followin8 the way of Christ. Statement as to disclosure to our examlners In so far as the trustees are aware at the timing of approving our trustees, annual report: there is no relevant information of which the Independent Examiner 15 unaware; and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity's independent examiner is aware of that information. 14
