Description: "The Presbyterian church is active throughout Ireland and is the largest Protestant denomination in Northern Ireland. Historically there has been a radical dissenting tradition amongst some Irish Presbyterians, though in recent times Presbyterians have tended more toward the status quo. Presbyterians in Ireland addresses their politics and culture, including that of the Ulster-Scots and the Irish, social and moral issues affecting Presbyterianism, the roles of women, the influence of life history and geographical location, educational issues and inter-church relations, the Orange Order, the Ministry and the future."--BOOK JACKET.
