“I have really enjoyed my time in Antrim,” said Mr Ferguson. “It has been an amazing part of my journey, but I am looking forward to the challenges ahead.

“The two parishes are in a rural area and there is strong community support among the denominations, as there is in Antrim, and I look forward to continuing to work in that environment and building on the good work that has been ongoing in Ramoan and Culfeightrin.”
