Abstract The Role of Evangelicalism in the Formation of Nineteenth­ Century Ulster Protestant Cultural Identity. This thesis considers the drive to commemorate within Ulster Protestantism. It focuses on Londonderry between 1859 and 1886 with particular attention paid to the role of evangelicalism, prominent during the relevant period. The assessment is made against the historic backdrop of the Ulster Revival (1859), disestablishment of the Church of Ireland (1869) and the threat of home rule (1880s). In order to gauge more accurately the contribution of religion, a multidisciplinary approach was adopted. Insights from anthropology, political science and sociology were used to complement the primary historical approach to the subject. The subject is approached from two angles, focussing initially on a historical and biographical study of William Johnston (1829-1902), a representative figure who illustrates wider trends and linkages in Ulster's political world and secondly on the city of Londonderry and its anniversary commemorations, and on the important intersection between the two. The discourse from the sermons preached at the 12 August and 18 December commemorations, organised by the Apprentice Boys of Londonderry Association, were analysed using Ninian Smart's Dimensions of the Sacred as an analytical tool and were compared to the discourse in the secular events. This helped to ii clarify the nature of the outlook held by the protagonists and establish the extent to which it had a religious framework. The catalytic role of evangelicalism seemed evident as the synthesis between Loyalism, Orangeism and evangelicalism was explored against political chronology and in relation to covenantalism. A change in direction and a new political agenda with strong religious conviction became an aspect of Loyalism. This change was reflected in ritual that underwent significant development in the period. This was considered in relation to two important relevant scholarly concepts that related to identity, the 'invention of tradition' and 'civil religion'. The period between 1859 and 1885 proved pivotal in the development of Ulster Protestant cultural identity. iii Abbreviations, Terms and Usage LS Londonderry Sentinel BNL Belfast News-Letter DP Downshire Protestant DR Downpatrick Recorder Inquiry, Belfast Report of Commissioners of Inquiry into the origin and character of the riots in Belfast, in July and September, House of Commons 1857.

These rituals relate to identity within the communities and this thesis focuses on the role of religion in establishing that identity and in its manifestation in the streets of Londonderry 1. Exploring the relationship between evangelicalism and the drive to commemorate is a central aspect of the study as is the relationship between the Orangeism of constitutional Loyalism and the religio-political agenda of the Orange Order which impacted on the expression of the rites from the mid 1860s. (Religio- political means the political agenda which emanates from religious conviction.) The study focuses on Londonderry between 1859 and 1885 and the role of evangelical religion, prominent during the relevant period. Emphasis is placed on a more militant strain of evangelicalism that developed in Britain and Ireland in the late 1820s. It emerged with a more fundamentalist attitude to Scripture, regarding the world as 'under God's judgment and heading for imminent catastrophe,.2 While the early nineteenth century tended to be moderately anti-Catholic, believing that Roman Catholics3 would eventually realise their error, a more dogmatic, premillennialist, Protestantism came to the fore in the prelude to Emancipation.4 Adherents were particularly prone to Protestant organisation in strongly anti- Catholic societies and loyalist organisations. This thesis concentrates on the worldview of key players. 1 Londonderry/Derry - these names are used interchangeably as in nineteenth-century discourse. 2 J. Wolffe, The Protestant Crusade in Great Britain, 1829-1860 (Clarendon, 1991), p.30. Protestantism is the term used for religion derived from the Protestant Reformation. 3 The term Roman Catholic is used as well as Catholic. It was used in nineteenth-century commemorative discourse without exception and not in a derogatory way. 4 J. Wolffe, The Protestant Crusade in Great Britain, 1829-1860 (Clarendon, 1991), p.30 .. 1 The role of evangelicalism in Protestant identity is approached from two angles, focussing initially on a historical and biographical study of William Johnston (1829- 1902), a representative figure who illustrated wider trends and linkages in Ulster's political world. Secondly it targets the city of Londonderry and its anniversary commemorations, and the important intersection between the two. The assessment is made against the historic backdrop of the Ulster revival (1859), disestablishment of the Church of Ireland (1869) and the threat of home rule (1880s). From the outset it was clear that it would be challenging to evaluate the diverse influences of religion in the development of commemoration. Only the central aspect of the church service could be regarded as official religion. The whole process of street parades, secular meetings and social events could be easily regarded as a mixture of the civic and political. A methodology, therefore, had to be put in place to capture the importance of the religious connotations visible in the overall ceremonial to ensure the role of religion would not be undervalued. In order more accurately to gauge its contribution, a multidisciplinary approach was adopted. Insights from anthropology, political science and sociology were used to complement the primary historical approach to the subject. Smart's 'Dimensions of the Sacred' were used as an analytic tool to assist in worldview analysis. These 'dimensions' are a means of studying religions and ideologies. The thesis examines how values and beliefs are expressed in actions, laws, symbols and organisations.s Instead of concentrating on one characteristic of a particular group, which can give an unbalanced view of that group's outlook 5 N.

    1) Why was the outbreak of violence in Derry ~ Londonderry during the Battle of the Bogside such a significant event for future violence in Northern Ireland that would be known as The Troubles The Battle of the Bogside was a result of the on-going levels of tension between the Nationalist community in Northern Ireland against the Unionist government and Policing in Northern Ireland at the time. After the events of August 1969 in which the planned NICRA March to Derry was deemed illegal, a counter demonstration by the Apprentice Boys of Derry was planned. Violence flared in the Nationalist Bogside area of Derry in which the security forces struggled to control the violence. Local residents and Nationalists felt that they were struggling to get their concerned addressed and that they faced continued discrimination from the government and the police in their response. 2) Why did the Nationalist Community welcome the arrival of the British Army in the beginning? The Nationalist Community welcomed the arrival of the British Army to Northern Ireland at the beginning as they were seen as protectors from the Loyalist agitators and a more fair form of law and order than they had been used to by the RUC. The British Army were sent into Northern Ireland to restore law and order as well as maintaining good relations with the Nationalist Community, 3) Why were the Unionist Community concerned about the arrival of the British Army to Northern Ireland? The Unionist Community and in particular those within the government and the security forces including the RUC and B-Specials felt that they were being undermined by the British Government and their decision to send the Army to Northern Ireland.

  • Coleraine and Apprentice Boys | Sample Essay
    Coleraine and Apprentice Boys | Sample essay What was the significance of the Coleraine University Controversy and/or the activities of the Apprentice Boys of Derry Both the Coleraine University controversy and the Apprentice Boys of Derry proved to be of great significance in the history of Northern Ireland. Both activities sparked feuds and controversies in the North. While the Apprentice Boys of Derry clearly celebrated Protestant, Unionist beliefs yet people also believed that the Coleraine University was a predominantly Protestant affair. Both the Apprentice Boys of Derry and the Coleraine University controversy are believed to have sparked the significant efforts that were made afterwards to restore peace in Northern Ireland. The Coleraine University Controversy all began when there was a demand for a second university in Northern Ireland. The North’s only university in the 1960’s was Queen’s University. It also had Magee College but degrees could not be completed there. After the Education Act (1947) which entitled more of the Northern Irish population to attend school and further their studies, meant there was a growth in attendance of secondary schools and therefore a demand for third level courses. O Neill’s government was then faced with the decision of either expanding Queens or founding a second university. The Coleraine and Apprentice Boys | Sample essay 1 Lockwood Committee was established in order to reach a decision. This was an eight member committee who enquired the area of third level education. This committee was chaired by Sir John Lockwood the other members were drawn from Northern Ireland. This committee was asked to ‘’review the facilities for university and higher technical education in Northern Ireland having regard to the report of the Robbins Committee and to make recommendations’’.

This is especially the case in the city of Derry/Londonderry, where media reported on a car bomb on 19 January 2019, its explosion almost killing five passer-by’s. Only three months later, during Easter, the death of young journalist Lyra McKee shocked the world.

ALL who love liberty and value Protestantism venerate the character of John Knox; no British Reformer is more entitled to the designation of illustrious. By three centuries he anticipated that parochial system of education which has lately become the law of England; by nearly half that period he set forth those principles of civil and religious liberty which culminated in a system of constitutional government. To him Englishmen are indebted for the Protestant character of their "Book of Common Prayer;" Scotsmen for a Reforma­ tion so thorough as permanently to resist the encroachments of an ever aggressive sacerdotalism. Knox belonged to a House ancient and respectable; but those bearing his name derive their chiefest lustre from 1eing connected with a race of which he was a member. The family annals presented in these pages reveal not a few of the members exhibiting vast intellectual capacity and moral worth. \Vhat follows is the result of wide research and a very extensive correspondence. So many have helped that a catalogue of them ,...-ould be cumbrous.

    Séquence 2 Public cible 2de, cycle terminal, post-bac / Écouter : A2 à B2 ; Écrire : B1/B2 50 years since the Battle of the Bogside in Derry Ce reportage est consacré aux 50 ans des trois jours d’émeutes opposant la population catholique du Bogside, un quartier de Londonderry, à la police royale de l’Ulster (RUC) connus sous le nom de la Bataille du Bogside. Une marche des Apprentice Boys of Derry provoqua la colère des catholiques, qui donna lieu à des affrontements de plus en plus violents avec la police. Cette escalade de violence entraîna l’arrivée des premières troupes britanniques en Irlande du Nord. Transcript TV host: It’s 50 years today since the beginning of the Battle of the Bogside which saw three days of rioting in Derry. The violence sparked further unrest and led to the deployment of British troops to Northern Ireland for the first time since partition. Voice-over (journalist): Tensions had been rising across Northern Ireland at least a year before a contentious Apprentice Boys parade took place in Derry on the twelfth of August 1969. Community leaders had called for the march to be cancelled amidst nationalist claims of bias within the RUC and widespread discrimination. As the bands passed the Catholic Bogside area of the city protesters threw stones and other missiles. It led to three days of fierce clashes with the police who were accused of being heavy handed. Activist Eamonn McCann was among the protesters in the Bogside. He says the events of those few days still resonate 50 years on.
