Dissonant Voices: Faith and the Irish Diaspora

Edited by Conn Mac Gabhann

Dissonant Voices: Faith and the Irish Diaspora is a collection of essays – history, theology and personal reflection – on aspects of the Irish Church within an international context from the Seventh Century to the Twenty First Century. The collection illuminates alternative, often radical and yet, thoroughly orthodox perspectives within the Irish Church, past and present.
