With their vibrant banners, evocative regalia and passionate bands, parades, processions and marches are powerful expressions of cultural identity. However, as a legacy of the events they commemorate, parades, marches and processions can arouse fierce tensions in our communities. Walk, parade, procession or march, there are many reasons for people to take to the streets as a group. There are many forms of wearing “colours”, be it insignia, regalia or a full uniform. There are also many ways of flying “colours” - from hastily constructed placards to flags and banners decorated with significant images and potent symbols.

  • Inside the Royal Black Institution” ‘The Mysteries, Secrets and Rites Publicly Revealed for the First Time in History’
    A book for ‘black men’ to seriously consider: “Inside The Royal Black Institution” ‘The mysteries, secrets and rites publicly revealed for the first time in history’ In Northern Ireland there are 3 fraternal organisations known as ‘The Loyal Orders’. They comprise ‘The Orange Order’, The Royal Arch Purple Order’ and ‘The Royal Black Institution’. All 3 would claim to be committed to the defence and promotion of the Evangelical Christian faith. Back in 1999, a former member of all 3 organisations, Paul Malcolmson, published a book called ‘Behind Closed Doors’ that revealed the ‘hidden structure‘ of the Royal Arch Purple Order. To say that the book ‘caused ripples’ within the world of ‘The Loyal orders’ would probably be to understate the reaction to its publication. 10 years on and Paul Malcolmson has just published a further book that this time ‘lifts the lid’ on what happens within ‘The Royal Black Institution’. I attended the book launch in Belfast and as well as the author being there, several other former members, including a former lecturer and a former chaplain, were in attendance. Quite simply I would say to any ‘black man’ who is an Evangelical Christian that they should prayerfully read this book as I genuinely found some of the information shared at the book launch to be very ‘disturbing’ to myself as a Christian. Let me just focus on two aspects of ‘claim’ and ‘practice’ made and observed within ‘The Royal Black Institution’. As regards ‘claim’, chapter 15 of the book is titled ‘Of the Order of Melchizedek’ and we read [p 249] ‘Not only is the Blackman told that he is a high priest and that he belongs to the priestly Levitical tribe, he is also assured that he is a priest in the order of Melchizedek… This is a high priestly order that is exclusively held by the Lord Jesus Christ… instead of having One person of the heavenly order we have countless self-appointed pretenders… Hebrews 7:21-24 says, speaking of Christ “Thou are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec… But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood”.

Ritual Contention in Divided Societies: Participation in Loyalist Parades! in Northern Ireland Jonathan !S. Blake ! Each year, Protestant organizations in Northern Ireland perform over 2,500 ritual parades to celebrate and commemorate their culture. Many Catholics, however, see parades as triumphalist and hateful. As a result, parades undermine the political peace process and grassroots peace- building by raising interethnic tension and precipitating riots, including significant violence in recent years. This dissertation asks: Why do people participate in these parades? To answer this question, I consider loyalist parading as an example of contentious ritual —symbolic action that makes contested political claims. To understand these parades as ritual actions, I build on two central insights from religious studies, sociology, and anthropology. First, as meaningful and shared practices, rituals provide participants with benefits that are intrinsic to participating in the act itself and do not depend on the achievement of some external outcome. Second, rituals are multi-vocal,
