As minister in Killyleagh he argued with #ArchibaldHamiltonRowan. He fought the #Belfast Academical Institution, calling it a "seminary of Arianism". He was a key figure in the splitting away of #Unitarianism from the main #Presbyterian church in Ireland.
He shaped the religious landscape in 19th century Ulster.
