It's interesting, and maybe quite telling, that Edmund Hamilton Sears preached the equality of women and men. And he was firmly anti-slavery - according to Wikipedia, on Sunday, June 16, 1856, Sears delivered a sermon entitled "Discourse" - the sermon was such a strong argument against slavery that it was published by Massachusetts abolitionists. I've always loved the carol for its positive, hopeful message, and now love it even more thanks to Rev Dr Steers.

Thank you for a wonderful service. My favourite carol has always been It Came upon a Midnight Clear and it was lovely to discover the origins and story of the carol, and to realise that in 1849, people then, like us now, were hoping and praying for peace!

The illustrations certainly demonstrate that the denomination has "..... not been afraid to stand up for Freedom, Reason and Tolerance for 300 years" !

Happy Christmas 🎄.

Happy Christmas, everyone.

It's fascinating from an Australian perspective to hear about a liberal form of Presbyterianism

Fascinating lecture on a little known book and the history of sacrifice and service in World War One. In May 1915, 17,000 men of the 36th Ulster Division took part in a march past of Belfast City Hall before leaving for Seaford on the Sussex Downs and thence to France. Barely a year later on 1st July 1916 a third of their number (5,500) were killed, wounded and missing on the Somme. They would serve with gallantry in following battles until the Armistice in November 1918. Lest We Forget.

The photograph at 8.22 is invaluable. Rev Bill had a major role in Cork in the 1950s.

Best wishes for a special day tomorrow, 22 September. Rev Bill helped out the Cork Congregation in the 1950's.

Very informative.

Thanks for this video and remembering John Johns. I've spent some time in the archives at Liverpool Central Library reading his passionate DMS annual reports and other contemporary reports of people who sought out 'Mr Johns' as someone who would help anyone in need, so far as he could. His work with all faiths amongst Liverpool's poor marks him out as someone to be remembered and I hope to pop into the church to see his memorial stone at some point.

A wonderful tribute to a remarkable man.

A lovely video of a remarkable man. Hope this is the first of many Sue!

Just reading the Herbert McClachlan biography of Gordon. Fascinating to see these artifacts of his life

Beautiful church and grounds; beautiful musianship. Thank you.

Happy Easter.

One of our Cork members has moved there is settling into this fine congregation.

Brilliant 👍

Very enjoyable.

Seems to have been a great morning's entertainment. Wish I had been there. JN.

I enjoyed all of the history lessons, good work 👌

I thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you, now for part two.

Absolutely fascinating

Words are not enough to thank for this video. I am a descendent of the Irish porter’s. Specifically from the younger brother of William and John Scot. Francis Porter in South Africa, Cape Town. I appreciate your video as it sheds light on their greatest work and service to the world. I am inspired to follow in their footsteps. Thank you again for this video. It is priceless for me .

Very well played, great tree 🌲 too.

Congratulations to Rev’d Dr Steers and his team for producing this very informative series on the Bible.Both interesting and well laid out! Thankfully for those of us living in the West, we are still living in a time of Amity and tolerance! Rather than the days of Wycliffe or Tyndale! Amazingly one of the Henrican Reforms,that still stands,is the insistence,that the Parishes of England and Wales,must provide a Lector to read the scriptures,at a moments notice! The Open Bible chained to parish lecterns is a reminder of this! One the great luminaries on the King James Bible is Melvyn Bragg,his book “The Book of Books”, (The radical impact of the King James Bible 1611-2011),is worth chasing up!

Thank you.

Thank you.

She was universally respected for her service. A very fitting service.

Great service, beautiful. Well done all!

A nice ceremony.

My Mum was part of our local NSPCI, in Newtownards. Her Minister was the Revd Townley Tilson. He was very close to all members of his Congregation. In the early 50s, my Mum as a child was hospitalised with Rheumatic Fever, and was very ill....The Revd Tilson wrote letters every 2 days whilst she was in hospital, and she kept them, every one. Sadly, the Minister passed away in the late 50s. But even now, in her 80s, she speaks very fondly of the communication, and enjoys re-reading the actual letters, which, in 2022, she still holds very, very dear...

A powerful and impressive statement which deserves our attention and following.

Thanks for concluding the very interesting series, David!

A great Christmas tree too. The church looks warm and inviting.

Great trumpet and a beautiful message

I am absolutely enjoying these videos. So, thank you so much for sharing them. I love the music, the sermons, and the churches. I've never heard of non-subscribing Presbyterians before, but I definitely find an affinity with what I'm learning. My only suggestion would be for a full tour of some of the churches. These little churches are just so homely and inviting, I'd love to be able to see them. Thank you!

Nice reference to Tom Banham. Greatly missed.

A very nice service and a pleasure to listen to, thank you.

Lovely service David and thank you to Allen too!

Romans 14:5, NIV: "One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind."

Another thoughtful and well prepped post,thanks for the share!

A thoughtful well presented service,every thanks for the share!

Happy 300, Ballee

Well done, everyone. This was marvellous. Very uplifting

Amazing change in harvest machinery and methods over these 50 years.

Thanks for another enjoyable and thoughtful service - I'm glad that we will be able to continue enjoying them in September!

Such a beautiful setting. Norman is looking as if retirement is suiting him.
