The Church of Ireland Gazette welcomes thoughtful, well-written contributions from across the island of Ireland and beyond. We are always keen to hear from new and returning voices from all walks of church life — lay and ordained, young and old, rural and urban, liberal and conservative. Whether you’re a parishioner, student, academic, clergy member, or simply someone with a perspective worth sharing, we invite you to consider writing for us.

We consider submissions across a wide range of content areas, including but not limited to: news and reporting from parishes, dioceses, and organisations; opinion and commentary on current events, theology, or church life; personal reflections, testimony, or devotional writing; book, film, and cultural reviews with a faith-based lens; letters to the Editor; features, essays, and in-depth pieces on social or ethical issues; and interviews, profiles, and photo essays.

• Letters to the Editor: 150–300 words
• Short Reflections or News Reports: 400–600 words
• Opinion or Comment Pieces: 700–1,000 words
• Features, Essays, or In-Depth Reports: 1,000–1,300 words

Longer pieces may be accepted by prior agreement.

The Gazette maintains a clear, accessible, and respectful editorial style. Whilst we welcome passionate views, we will not publish personal attacks, discriminatory content, or anything that promotes division without offering meaningful insight or context.

We expect contributors to write with:

• Charity and clarity
• A balanced tone
• Sound sourcing where claims are made

Our house style guide outlines formatting, spelling, theological terminology, tone, and citation practices. Please review it before submitting, especially for longer articles or regular columns.
