The Bishop and Mrs Colton entertained the Lord Mayor and the CEO to afternoon tea. There was an engaging discussion of contemporary issues in the city of Cork and the region, about the partnership of the Church of Ireland with much that is happening in civic and community life, including the work of the Cork City Community Response Forum on which Bishop Colton served throughout the covid pandemic, and on which he continues to serve as it addresses the needs of Ukrainian newcomers to Ireland.
Cllr Colm Kelleher is the 25th Lord Mayor of Cork to make a courtesy call to the Bishop and Mrs Colton.
