 12th
July 2010 Resolutions
THE FAITH: As members of the Loyal Orange Institution,
a Christian organisation, we affirm our belief in the one
true sovereign God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe
that there is only one Mediator between God and man, Jesus
Christ, the eternal Son of God, the only King and head of
His church.
We believe that for individuals to have hope for time and
for eternity it is necessary for them to come to faith in
Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. We strongly urge men and
women to "search the Scriptures" which are able
to make them wise unto salvation, so that through the work
of the Holy Spirit they may be led to saving faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of mankind.
LOYALTY: That we, the Orangemen assembled at …………………………………………………..in
commemoration of the 320th anniversary of the Battle of the
Boyne do hereby reaffirm our devotion and loyalty to the Throne
and Person of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,
Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland and Her other Realms, Defender of The Faith.
We re-affirm our support for the 1701 Act of Settlement,
which forms the basis for the Civil and Religious Liberties
which we and others throughout the British Commonwealth continue
to enjoy as nations, and clearly state our opposition to any
attempt to Repeal this Act.
THE STATE: As an Institution we celebrate the anniversary
of the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, which established Civil
and Religious Liberty and allowed the evolution of modern
constitutional democracy.
We join with the Grand Lodges in England and Scotland in
remaining firm for the Union of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland. The Union provides all the people of the United Kingdom
with stability and opportunity and is a heritage worthy of
being passed down untarnished to future generations.
To further the cause of the Union, we call on our political
representatives to work for and seek a common voice on the
central issue that matters to the unionist people, the constitutional
security of Northern Ireland.
