I sent this email to Mr Fletcher whose video is mounted on the BB webpage.
Dear Sir,
My name is Ivan Foster. I am a retired minister of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, having completed some 43 years as a pastor and being still engaged in a little preaching, though retired now some 15 years.
The video of your speech was shared with me and I have mounted it upon my website, mentioned below.
I sincerely want to thank you for the witness you bore to Christ and His Word and the benefits that this nation of ours has enjoyed for many generations.
It was sad to observe so few in attendance at the debate and I am saddened that those from Ulster, who would profess faith in Christ, do not seem to be in attendance.
Having thanked you, I did mention in my introduction to the video on my website, the anomaly of you, a member of the Conservative Party, criticising practices which your party has been chief in promoting, even legitimising that which God condemns such as abortion, sodomy and the ludicrous notion of transgenderism.
You surely cannot be happy in such an environment!
It was once a common slogan within the Free Presbyterianism here, when contending against Christians in membership of the liberal and ecumenical churches, that there was a need to STAND UP, SHOUT OUT, STRIDE OUT and STAY OUT!
Such a view is entirely in keeping with 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 and many other Scriptures.
I sincerely wish you well and trust that you will act as did Apollos when he was offered sound counsel.
“And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly,” Acts 18:23-26.
Sincere regards,
Ivan Foster
