POPULARITY
The Rev Ian Paisley rose to prominence as the face of hardline unionism but the first time some would have heard of him would have been in connection with Maura Lyons. In 1956, the west Belfast teenager was smuggledto Scotland by members of the Free Presbyterian Church. She was a 15-year-old Catholic girl who converted to Free Presbyterianism, in the face of the strong objections of her family. They accused the Rev Ian Paisley of “abduction”. At one point, he gathered his supporters in the Ulster Hall to listen to a recording of Maura's voice at the Ulster Hall, renouncing her Catholic faith as a “religion of fear and dread”. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by journalist Malachi O'Doherty, who grew up in west Belfast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Adult Bible Class - Baptism & Membership Class #5 - The History & Purpose of the Free Presbyterian Church of North America The sermon presents a historical and theological narrative tracing the origins and distinctives of the Free Presbyterian Church, rooted in a commitment to biblical fidelity, doctrinal purity, and separation from ecumenical and liberal movements that compromise the gospel. It highlights pivotal moments in Irish Presbyterian history—such as the stand against Arianism, the Ulster Revival of 1859, and the 1951 Crossgar mission—as foundational to the church's identity, emphasizing that faithful resistance to heresy and compromise has been central to its existence. The church's identity as 'Free' is defined not by lack of structure or cost, but by its deliberate separation from apostate and ecumenical bodies, particularly the World Council of Churches, and its unwavering adherence to the Westminster Confession of Faith, the King James Version of Scripture, and Reformed theology. The sermon underscores the church's mission to preach the whole counsel of God, promote biblical worship, and maintain strict moral and doctrinal standards—including opposition to charismatic practices, contemporary music, alcohol use, and non-traditional marriage—while affirming its evangelistic zeal, commitment to church planting, and accountability through presbyterian governance. Ultimately, the church sees itself as a faithful remnant called to preserve the historic Christian faith, foster spiritual edification, and await Christ's return, all grounded in a theology of grace, separation, and holy living.
This week we consider the Christian's relationship to revolution. In the first reading, we ask how the Christian is to relate to the 'spirit of Revolution' embodied in the French Revolution (a movement that is still with us, bearing fruit in our own politics and society). Towards the end of the episode we consider Francis Schaeffer and Samuel Rutherford in their arguments for civil resistance to ungodly authority. Is it right to oppose the humanistic revolutionary spirit, if necessary, by force? These and other questions are given attention in this episode of the Magazine Podcast.

Ian Paisley was the the founder of both the DUP and the Free Presbyterian Church. He was the firebrand preacher and uncompromising street agitating politician always seeming to prefer confrontation. But in the end, he compromised, sitting down in joint-office with Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness, becoming one half of the so-called ‘Chuckle Bros'. Joining Ciarán Dunbar to discuss Ian Paisley's career, from a very personal point of view, is the Belfast Telegraph's political editor - Suzanne Breen.

On this episode of the Irish History Show we were joined by journalist and author Ed Moloney to discuss the life of Ian Paisley. Reverend Ian Paisley was the founder of the Free Presbyterian Church and the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party from 1971 to 2008. In 2007 he became the First Minister of Northern Ireland. We discussed Paisley's rise to prominence in Northern Ireland during the 1960s; the political and religious traditions he came from; his American influences; his opposition to ecumenism, liberalism and the Civil Rights Movement; his relationship with Loyalist paramilitaries; his longevity and popularity in Northern Irish politics; power sharing with Sinn Féin, and the end of his leadership of both the DUP and the Free Presbyterian Church. Ed Moloney is the former Northern Editor of both the Irish Times and the Sunday Tribune. He has published work in a variety of newspapers and magazines in Ireland, the UK, and the United States, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New York Daily News, The New York Post, The Economist, The Independent, The Guardian and The New Statesman. Moloney is the author of three books dealing with aspects of the Irish Troubles, A Secret History of the IRA (2007), Paisley: From Demagogue to Democrat? (2008) and Voices from the Grave: Two Men's War in Ireland (2010). He has also helped to produce documentaries for the BBC, Channel Four, London Weekend Television and a recent RTÉ documentary, Voices From the Grave, which was based on his book and was shortlisted for best documentary prize by the Irish Film and Television Academy.
