Presbyterians in Ireland

Does the Presbyterian church help or hinder individuals in their lives? Baillie uses over a hundred interviews with Ministers and individuals to examine the role of women, the influence of life history and geographical location, education, inter-church relations, the Orange Order, Freemasonry, the ministry and the future.

'Sandra Baillie has done us all a good turn by gathering this information and putting it in the public realm.' - Jude Collins, Andersontown News
