"Corrymeela is Northern Ireland’s oldest peace and reconciliation organisation. We began before “The Troubles” and continue on in Northern Ireland’s changing post–conflict society. The organisation grew organically from the original Community members, and today almost 40 full–time staff and dozens of volunteers work alongside the eleven thousand people who spend time in our residential centre every year.
 
We are also a dispersed Christian Community, and many community members volunteer regularly at the residential centre in Ballycastle. Our work is made possible by around eighty thousand volunteer hours every year.
 
Many of our volunteers have been working on the site for decades, generously giving time and service to the work. The Community of Corrymeela has grown too, with 150 members, 50 associate members and thousands of friends around the globe. Together we make commitments to be engaged with the world at its points of fracture, faith and potential.
 
We are teachers, writers, people looking for work, retired people; we are young, middle–aged and old; we are people of doctrine and people of question. We are people who seek to engage with the differences of our world. We are people who disagree with each other on matters of religion, politics and economics.

​We are people who wish to name our own complicity in the fractures that damage our societies. We are people of dedication and commitment. We are people of prayers, conversation, curiosity and questioning. We are people of truth telling and hope. We are Corrymeela. And you are always welcome."

Over the last five years (2016-2021), St. Philip's College has partnered with the Corrymeela Community on two successful grant applications to the ​Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program, which assists U.S. higher education institutions in expanding programs of academic exchange, by supporting non-U.S. scholars through grants for teaching at institutions that serve minority audiences.

In 2019~2020, St. Philip's College hosted Derick and Dot Wilson from the Corrymeela Peace and Reconciliation Centre in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland.

In 2016, St. Philip's College hosted Richard and Yvonne Naylor from the Corrymeela Peace and Reconciliation Centre in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland.
