The Rev Dr John Nelson gave an interesting lecture to the
Presbyterian Historical Society in the First Presbyterian Church
(Non-subscribing) Dunmurry on Thursday 15th February. The
subject was 'The Parting of the Ways' and dealt with the
Non-Subscription controversy of Irish Presbyterianism in the
late 1820s and its affect on ministers and local congregations,
where divisions became more or less problematic. Rev Dr David
Steers, minister of Downpatrick, Balee and Clough, chaired the
evening and Brian Shaw presided at the organ. Refreshments were
served in the church hall after the meeting.
