Latest News from Cloughjordan Eco-Congregation

In early March 2022 as part of Lenten Celebrations, Rev. Steven Foster from the Methodist Church in Cloughjordan, passed on the Cloughjordan Mosaic to Archdeacon Terry Mitchell of the Church of Ireland, before the Sunday Service. The Tree of Life mosaic was presented to the Cloughjordan Eco-Congregation in the Summer 2019 on the visit to the village by the Jordanian Ambassador to the UK and Ireland, HE Omar BAL-Nahar.

The mosaic, from an important early Christian church site in Jordan, serves to mark historic links between Cloughjordan and the Kingdom of Jordan. The mosaic was initially displayed in St Michael & St John’s Catholic Church and then passed on to the Methodist Church at the start of March 2020 by Fr Pat Greed. The mosaic will be on display in St Kieran’s Church of Ireland over the coming months.
