The Presbyterian Church in Ireland has selected Reverend Charles McMullen of West Church, Bangor, County Down, as its next Moderator.

He will become the church's 179th moderator.

Mr McMullun, who is originally from Omagh, said: "I am simply overwhelmed to have been elected Moderator-Designate and commit myself to the Lord for His help and guidance over what I am sure will be an exciting, challenging and enriching year that lies ahead.

"I know I can draw on the prayers and good wishes of the entire denomination and much further afield. I hope I can be involved in a ministry of building relationships and offering encouragement, both within the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and with others as I reach out in Christ’s name."
