Dúirt Dáithí Ó Maolchoille, Cathaoirleach Chumann Gaelach na hEaglaise,
“Tá Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise ag comóradh an chéid i mbliana agus is cúis áthais dúinn a rá go bhfuil bláthú agus fás le brath ar ghníomhaíochtaí Chumann Gaelach na hEaglaise ar fud na tíre. Is ócáid bhródúil í dúinn gurb í an tSeirbhís Idirchreidmheach seo an chéad seirbhís chomórtha don Chumann i 2014. Cuireadh tús leis an tSeirbhís seo i 1971 le linn na dTrioblóidí. Tá tacaíocht láidir ann don tSeirbhís seo. Is é an téama i mbliana ná An Amhlaidh atá Críost roinnte ina choda? Tá fáilte roimh chách.”
Bunaíodh Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise sa bhliain 1914 chun (1) meon na Sean–Eaglaise Ceiltí a choimeád beo in Eaglais na hÉireann agus baill na hEaglaise a chuireann spéis sa Ghaelachas a bhailiú le chéile, (2) úsáid na Gaeilge a leathnú san Eaglais, (3) iomainn agus ábhar diaga eile a bhailiú ó litríocht na Gaeilge agus (4) ceol agus ealaíon Éireannach a chur ar aghaidh in imeachtaí na hEaglaise.

It is a cause of much pleasure to note that progress and growth can be reported from the activities of Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise throughout the country. We are proud that this Interdenominational Service is the first commemorative service of Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise in 2014. This Service, for which there is considerable support, was started in 1971 during the Troubles. This year the theme is Has Christ been divided? All are welcome.”
