The Church of Ireland is the Anglican church across the island of Ireland, with dioceses in both Northern Ireland and the Republic. Disestablished in 1871, it retains cathedrals and parish churches in every county of Northern Ireland, including St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast. Around 340,000 people on the island identify with it, with the majority in the north. The tradition traces its modern form to 1536 (Reformation era), disestablished 1871. As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts around 340,000 across the island of Ireland.
The congregation shares in a long history of worship in Northern Ireland, one of the most churchgoing parts of the United Kingdom. Belfast is the county town of County Antrim and a focal point for church life in the area. First-time visitors and regular worshippers alike will find an open door.
