Revealed: Whatmakes Order tick BY MARK RAINEY

THE hearts and minds o the Or-ange Order, including views oncontentious parades, Orangeestand abortion, have been laid bareor the rst time in a new book

 written with the institution’s ullcooperation.

In a survey o what really makes

the Brethren tick, ‘Loyal To TheCore?: Orangeism and British-ness in Northern Ireland’ is based

entirely on the inner thoughts o both the ordinary members andoce holders.

The candid responses – with1,500 members sampled in total– revealed that less than 60 percent o Brethren elt they had theright to march anywhere in North-

ern Ireland without restrictions.The book’s authors described thegure o 58 per cent as “not over-

  whelming”. Almost one-in-velodge members said they wereopposed to marches going wherethe local residents were unsup-portive.

Tampering with tradition is al- ways likely to cause heated debate within lodge circles and attempts

to broaden the appeal o the Or-der’s celebrations through theOrangeest initiative have proved

particularly divisive.Grand Secretary Drew Nelson

described some o the candid sur-  vey responses as a refection o how society in general is chang-ing and said it was “vitally impor-tant” to make them public.  See pages 8 and 9
