Belfast's deaf church: Where the good word is in sign language

Churches are places where people gather to hear the word of God but in one south Belfast church holy words are signed.

Kinghan Church, on Botanic Avenue, is a worshipping community for those who are deaf and hearing-impaired.

KC, as it is affectionately known, was founded in 1857 by Rev John Kinghan, a Presbyterian minister who became the principal of the Ulster Society for the Promotion of the Education of the Deaf, the Dumb and the Blind in Belfast.
