This year’s Catherwood Lecture is by Johnston McMaster and is entitled, ‘Signing Up to the Covenant: An Alternative Vision for the Future’

With the Centenary of the Ulster Covenant this year, this lecture will provide us with an opportunity to reflect on significant political and religious events which have affected our history and to consider an alternative vision for the Church in Ireland  for 2012 and the years ahead.

There will be a time for questions and discussion following the lecture.
