I was in the same class as Heather in school. I am sure she will make an excellent President

Methodists have had a positive impact on this country in excess of their small numbers - very best of luck to her.

I've been fortunate to have been able to listen to Dr Heather Morris 'preach' a couple of times. The way she spoke passionately about God's love, grace, and mercy, and compassionately about humankind was inspiring. And she just comes across as a lovely warm person. Someone who brings people closer to God.

I'm not a Methodist, but I thank God that I've been blessed by having opportunities to have worshipped and interacted with many Irish Methodists in an ecumenical setting. They are a marvellous bunch, if you ask me! The combination of having so much to offer to the Christian family - and society in general - and at the same time apparently having genuine respect for other Christian denominations - that's powerful!

May God bless Heather, her family, her church, and the whole of Ireland, through her time as President.

Congratulations! I pray God will use her mightily in that role!
