So then, faith commeth by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.

Within the Orange Order there is a true Biblical ecumenical spirit and Protestants from many denominations worship together at lodge meetings and church services. In the same spirit this page, known as the 'FAITH PAGE' is to promote the great fundamentals of the Christian & Protestant Faith without indulging into denominational differences. We sincerely hope that you are blessed by what you read.
It is good to know that the book "SANDY ROW BORN AND BRED" by Gordon Freeman is being purchased throughout the English speaking world as well as local people who have not only purchased one for themselves but for relatives and friends across the seas. There are many outlets where the book can be purchased, but we suggest that you purchase it from Amazon. The current paperback price is £10.99 and £3.99 for the Kindle Edition.
Sermonaudio is a fantastic site and especially useful to those, who for valid reasons can't attend church. Please let us know if you find it a help; we would love to hear from you.

Brother David Catt was elected Grand Master of the Loyal Orange Institution of England in 1924. He joined the Orange Order while in his mid-twenties. He was also Secretary of the Calvinistic Protestant Union. David circulated a vast number of Bibles, Scripture texts and tracts, and he founded the Bible Study League and was Editor of the quarterly magazine “Bible School”. A tireless Orangeman, Brother Catt was said to have founded twenty-three lodges, and also the North East London District No 86 and Sussex District No 88. For some years he was a member of LOL 723, which met at the YMCA in Mare Street, Hackney, and he lived in nearby 32 Clapton Square. One of the many publications distributed by Brother Catt was “THE OLD PARISHIONER AND THE MODERN PARSON”, which the 36th (Ulster) Division LOL 977 has redesigned and reproduced. LOL 977 has historical connections with Brother Catt, having formed the military lodge 862 in Sussex. LOL 977 was formed by members of the military lodge on their return to Belfast in 1919.
Copies of this four page publication is available free by sending an A5 stamped addressed envelope to Billy Dickson, 177 Tates Avenue, Belfast BT12 6NA.
What a fantastic parade, left Belfast at 11am still arriving at Stormont at 5pm.
Many feet are sore, but today we walked in the footsteps of Giants.
Fantastic day, proud to have been part of it all

The 36th (Ulster) Division Memorial L.O.L. 977 held their 92nd Anniversary Dinner in the Rehoboth Mission Church, Mount Vernon, North Belfast on Friday 1st April 2011. The lodge had the privilege of having as their guest speaker, W. Bro. Councillor Frazer Agnew P.M. As this year marks the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible, popularly known as the Authorised Version, Bro. Agnew took the opportunity to speak on the subject. He used the text "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." (Psalm 12:6) to illustrate the various stages in the development of the Authorised Version. The Worshipful Master, William Dickson thanked W. Bro. Agnew for his most enjoyable and enlighting talk and went on to thank all the members and friends of the lodge for their loyal support over many years in keeping 977 active as a 'living memorial' within No 3 District.
