A Talk by the Very Rev Dr Donald Patton

Originally intended for presentation in October 2020 as part of the annual PHSI Lecture Programme, the event was cancelled due to the Coronavirus public health emergency.
The Talk is available on YouTube.

This talk reflects on Presbyterianism in the later 18th century through the writings and ministry of the Rev Dr William Campbell, minister of Armagh, 1764-89. Campbell became a prominent figure during those years and who left behind a manuscript which is held by the Presbyterian Historical Society of Ireland. In November 2019 a transcript of the manuscript was published by the Society. The Sketches of the History of Presbyterians in Ireland, 1803 may be purchased from the bookstore on the Society's website.
