Today is the final day of the 2021 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, which is meeting in Assembly Buildings in Belfast.
In a change to the traditional format of recent General Assemblies, it has been meeting for three days, with the necessary Covid mitigations in place. Only full voting members are attending in person this year, thereby ensuring the necessary social distancing required at the city centre venue.
While all sessions have been livestreamed, unfortunately there has been no public access this year. The attendance of the media, however, has been facilitated.
Throughout the General Assembly there will be a live Twitter feed using the hashtag #PCIGA21 at @pciassembly
