Description

When I go out on these frosty nights and see the pattern of the stars across the sky I ask myself how did all that happen.
Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh

When I sit down now to pray it’s more of a conversation. If you meet someone you know fairly well, you are hardly going to be sing-songing a set number of words at him.
Alice Taylor

In 2013, former RTÉ broadcaster John Quinn travelled throughout Ireland to meet a some well-known personalities. He asked them questions about the God they believe in and why they believe; the origins of their belief; doubts they have encountered dealing with mystery; how central belief is to their life and work; prayer-life; the afterlife; faith mentors and much more. The answers he received were spontaneous, honest and rich in diversity and are now a wonderful book, Credo – Personal Testimonies of Faith.

A fascinating insight into belief and its practice, Credo includes contributions from former Meath football manager Séan Boylan, Benedictine nun and international leader for peace and justice Joan Chittister, actor Frank Kelly, politician David Norris, writer Alice Taylor, GAA commentator Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh and many more.
