Orange Irish

• The orange order was founded in the home of Dan
  Winter
• The purpose of the Orange Order was to bring
  together the 'Protestants' of various
  denominations - Episcopalian - Presbyterian -
  Independents - Huguenots - Quakers - into one
  homogenous grouping to maintain their Protestant
  religion and way of life and as a distinctive
  affirmation that they intended to hold fast to
  the FREEDOM of religion won at such a high cost
  at the Reformation.
• Came into existence after the Battle of the
  Diamond

Battle of the Diamond

• September 21, 1795
• instigated by a Roman Catholic revolutionary
  brotherhood known as the 'defenders' who were
  part of the 'ethnic cleansing' programme of the
  seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when the
  attempt was to remove the Protestant witness from
  the Island of Ireland
• For a number of years leading up to 1795 there
  was open hostility on the part of the Roman
  Catholics or Defenders towards their Protestant
  neighbours.

Qualifications of Orange Order

• LOVE FOR GOD - "a sincere love and veneration for
  his Heavenly Father". "He should never take the
  name of God in vain".
• FAITH IN CHRIST - "steadfast faith in Jesus
  Christ, the Saviour of mankind".
• AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE - "he should honour and
  diligently study the Holy Scriptures and make
  them the rule of his faith and practice".
• RESPECT FOR SUNDAY - "he should remember to keep
  holy the Sabbath day, and attend the public
  worship of God"
• BROTHERLY BONDThere is also something of a
  'bonding' between the members of the Orange
  Institution, because those things which we share
  in common and hold dear are much more important
  than things which may divide us.

13
Why Orange?

• The color orange is associated with Northern
  Irish Protestants because of William of Orange
  (William III), the King of England, Scotland, and
  Ireland who in 1690 defeated the deposed King
  James II, a Roman Catholic, in the fateful Battle
  of the Boyne near Dublin. William III's victory
  secured Protestant dominance over the island, to
  the enormous benefit of the 17th-century
  colonizers of northern Ireland the English
  (mainly Anglicans) and Scots (mostly
  Presbyterians). Sometimes called Orangemen,
  Protestants in Northern Ireland celebrate the
  anniversary of the battle each July 12th.
