A man who has a "tremendous experience of God's healing power" will be speaking on healing in St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast, on Monday 5 November, the Church of Ireland has announced.

Joe Dalton from Dublin became deeply depressed at the age of only thirteen when he was molested by a man in a cinema.

He tried everything to find healing, including psychiatric treatment and hospitalisation, but nothing worked.

Eventually, after thirty one years of depression, when he was forty-four years of age, he found healing in a miraculous and instantaneous way through his relationship with God.

Brother David Jardine is Director of the interdenominational Divine Healing Ministries. He is a Church of Ireland clergyman and organiser of the service in St Anne's Cathedral.

He said: "Depression is the most common illness in our country at this time and the main reason why people have to take time off work.

"Joe Dalton has received an amazing healing himself and can help others to do the same. He is a very impressive speaker and he will also be praying with people on 5 November."

Those who need healing for any condition will be welcome to come to this service in St. Anne's Cathedral. Personal prayer and anointing with oil will be available to all. Worship will be led by Paul and Beulah Shields.
