Rev. Karen Sethuraman is the first female Baptist Minister in Ireland and is currently Pastor of SoulSpace, a peace and reconciliation hub based in Belfast. Her ministry is shaped by a deep passion for peace, reconciliation, social justice, and gender equality.

Karen is also one of the founders of Spectrum, a Belfast space for LGBT+ people of faith. She feels particularly called to minister beyond the walls of the Church, journeying with people who feel they ‘don’t fit’ within traditional church spaces.
