The Burke family were assaulted at a Church of Ireland Synod when they pleaded on behalf of Enoch Burke's imprisonment 13-05-24
BREAKING: Violent response at Church of Ireland synod over questions on Enoch Burke
Martina, Josiah and Jemima Burke attended the Church of Ireland synod in Armagh to question church leaders on Enoch Burke’s incarceration.
The Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland John McDowell and Bishop of Meath and Kildare Pat Storey were among the attendees at the event at Armagh City Hotel. To this day they have refused to speak on Enoch Burke who is now almost a full year behind bars.
The Burkes entered the synod hall as Bishop Pat Storey was speaking. Martina Burke began to question the Archbishop directly on why Enoch Burke was suspended from Wilson’s Hospital School for upholding the Church of Ireland ethos. The Archbishop refused to answer questions and immediately suspended the business of the synod. Bishop Pat Storey left the hall.
Martina and Josiah Burke continued to question the Archbishop on why the Church of Ireland was silent on Enoch Burke’s incarceration. The Archbishop did not speak.
Josiah Burke held up a picture of Enoch Burke with the words “Enoch Burke 354 days in prison.” A synod attendee ripped this out of his hands and destroyed it.
Following this incident Jemima Burke was assaulted by a synod staff member who had to be held back by others in the room.
The Archbishop left at this point, continuing to make no comment or intervene in any way.
Following this the Burkes left the synod hall and held a demonstration at the hotel gates for over an hour.
The scenes witnessed and experienced at the Church of Ireland synod were shocking and unprecedented. We continue to seek answers on why Archbishop John McDowell is silent on the incarceration of Enoch Burke for upholding the ethos of the Church of Ireland.
