Church Leaders To Meet With Stormont
Political leaders are to meet the heads of Northern Ireland's four main churches at Stormont later today ahead of the latest round on political talks on Thursday.
It is understood that the church leaders are hoping to find a way to help political leaders make progress in the latest talks, which the DUP refused to attend last week.
Related to the stalled talks, the UK Prime Minister has said that Stormont must "lift the blockages" that are preventing them from delivering an effective government.
