Orangeism & The Loyal
Orders
This site is still under development. I hope to provide some articles
discussing the Orange Order and the other Loyal Orders, their histories, what
they stand for, and their futures. Certainly they are largely a misunderstood
group of organisations. I would like to waylay a few myths and perhaps bring about discussion about modernising these institustions,
concentrating on positive aspects (what they stand for)like promoting
protestantism / christianity throughout the world and respect for all
communities, the bible and family rather than the negative aspects ( what they
stand against ). Rather than peacefully pointing out what they believe to be the wrongs of catholicism (which leads to accusations of anti-catholicism) just simply be
pro-protestant instead. Indeed Orange Halls throughout Ireland, the UK and the
world are right at the hearts of community activities. In Ireland they act as
communal halls / church halls / town and village halls hosting not only orange
order meetings, but church / gospel meetings & missions, Ulster Unionist and
other political party meetings, Credit Unions, Discos & Dances.
Below are a few important links followed by some articles and then some further
