Rev Ivan Foster, a former DUP Assemblyman, challenges his church colleagues to expel him over disciplinary actions for his criticisms.

Sixty years after being jailed with Ian Paisley, a veteran Free Presbyterian minister is daring his clerical colleagues to expel him. Now, the Rev Ivan Foster – himself a former DUP Assemblyman – is facing discipline for criticising Free Presbyterian ministers. A second cleric, the Rev David Linden, is also facing disciplinary measures. 83-year-old Rev Foster has publicly accused the church of breaking its own rules.     Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Sam McBride.  Hosted on Acast.
