Orange Order Stands Firm For Christianity

Article 1 ~ July 2006

The Orange Order remains a power for good in this society, educationally, spiritually, culturally and socially. There are its works of charity and good neighbourliness regardless of creed, and the very considerable contributions of Orangemen to church, local government and government. That we need to work harder and do better in the cause of Christ and Christian values by standing firm for Christian faith and conduct is a task to be shared by all who call themselves Christians. The strong witness of the Order to Protestantism positively is much needed in days when the churches are loosing influence and effectiveness to the great detriment of this society. We have evidence constantly of the lowering standards of behaviour people with people in every walk of life. We deeply deplore the loss of so much that we enjoyed simply and peaceably in other days as we hear and see day and daily the ill treatment and cruelty visited on so many and every kind of criminality and lawlessness by which criminals plumb the very depths of depraved humanity. We need more than anything a turning of people to Christ and Christian values of conduct. The Orange Institution must make its goodly presence felt in every attempt made with the betterment of this society as its primary purpose.
