I first experienced the remarkably intimate quality of a Free Presbyterian’s connection with Jehovah when idle curiosity took me to one of their services in 1969. I was fascinated to hear their moderator in his prayers discussing options with the Lord on the disposal of the soul of a recently dead editor who was a dangerous anti-sectarian radical.
That service of nearly 40 years ago came to mind when I heard Rev Willie McCrea’s opening prayer at the DUP conference in which he congratulated the Lord on dealing with another unlikely radical, the dangerous David Trimble.
