“ Great Sermon! ” I thought I had better add that my comments are not a criticism of the Free Presbyterian Church which is sound in doctrine and an example of a denomination with a great and biblical emphasis on public evangelism. This church has many fine preachers and Rev Brown is one of them!
Unlike Northern Ireland there is a neglect of open air preaching in many parts of England. 'How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?'
If less than 2% attend church according to an issue of a UK Protestant Newspaper...the hour is surely come to heed Spurgeon's comments?
God bless Ian Brown and the faithful testimony of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster. May our gracious God be pleased to raise up such in the darkest parts of Britain!

"I fear.. there are conservative individuals who almost believe that to preach anywhere except in the chapel would be a shocking innovation, a sure token of heretical tendencies, and a mark of zeal without knowledge. Any young brother who studies his comfort among them must not suggest something so irregular as a sermon outside the walls of their Zion..'Wisdom crieth without, she uttereth her voice in the streets, she crieth in the chief places of concourse, in the opening of the gates' but the wise men of orthodoxy would have wisdom gagged except beneath the roof of a licensed building. These people believe in a New Testament which says, 'Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in' and yet they dislike a literal obedience to the command.
"No sort of defence is needed for preaching out of doors; but it would need very potent arguments to prove that a man had done his duty who has never preached beyond the walls of his meeting-house. A defence is required rather for services within buildings than for worship outside of them." C H Spurgeon.
In Spurgeon's time 50% of the population of England could really be called Christian, though 80% went to Church. Now only 2% go to church and how many of those are Christians?
