In the 56th year of its existence, the FPC of Ulster is facing its greatest challenge regarding its future path and witness.

On March 17th 1951, the FPC was born. Its purpose was to continue the witness of the Reformation, proclaim the gospel of Christ and earnestly contend for the faith.

That purpose has been dangerously undermined by the yoking together of the DUP and Sinn Fein/IRA in a political alliance. The threat lies in the fact that Dr. Ian Paisley is the leader of the DUP and he is also the moderator of the FPC.

Sinn Fein/IRA is an organisation guilty of the terrorist slaughter of men, women and children, most of whom were Protestants, in their 30-year pursuit of political power.

The power-sharing arrangement with Dr. Paisley's DUP has rewarded the terrorism of Sinn Fein/IRA by giving them much of the power that they have sought.

As the Moderator of the FPC, Dr. Paisley forms a link between the FPC and this political alliance between Sinn Fein/IRA and the DUP.
