Rev Earl Storey

Earl was ordained as a Church of Ireland clergyperson in 1982 and has served in both jurisdictions in Ireland. He left active ministry in 2003 to become involved in unionist politics, as a contribution towards reconciliation. Earl stood in the Westminster and local council elections in Foyle, in 2005.

He stepped out of any political affiliation in 2005 to become Director of the Church of Ireland Hard Gospel Project, an all-Ireland project set up that year to address sectarianism and living constructively with difference. In 2008 Earl founded Topstorey Communications and has worked with organisations as diverse as the GAA, the Orange Order, development agencies, churches, businesses and individuals. He was responsible for The Journey in Self-Belief project at Maynooth University.

Earl is an Irish Management Institute-qualified Executive Coach, and a part time Church of Ireland chaplain to the Irish Defence Forces.
