Resolutions

Our Mission Statement reminds us that the Bible should be the rule and guide of our faith and practice.

We call on all present to look to God in these difficult times and to put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us live according to His Word, being strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

We support the ‘Take 5 Project’ that spells out the truths enshrined in the Five Solas of the Reformation: Scripture alone, grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone and the glory of God alone.

Loyalty: We the Sir Knights of the Royal Black Institution are privileged to have celebrated this year the 60th anniversary of the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Following on from last year’s successful Diamond Jubilee, it has been a wonderful opportunity for us all to renew our loyalty to the monarchy.

Her Majesty has led the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth over the past six decades with dedication and an unfailing sense of duty and service. Her Christian principles have been an example to everyone.

Today, it is an honour to re-affirm our loyalty to our monarch.

We rejoice in the safe arrival of the baby son of HRH the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, HRH George Alexander Louis, Prince of Cambridge, and assure them all of our prayers and good wishes.

Constitutional: As Royal Black Sir Knights, we resolve to maintain our British identity which is founded on the teachings of Holy Scripture and the Christian faith re-discovered at the Reformation.

The Union Flag is a key symbol in publicly displaying our Britishness and we call on our local and national governments and all the peoples of the United Kingdom to give our flag the respect and place to which it is entitled. We condemn the removal of the Union Flag from Belfast City Hall. Attacks on the Union Flag and our British culture must be opposed by all lawful means necessary, we continue to encourage our Sir Knights and friends within the Commonwealth to support us in our stand as we are proud to be British and make no apology for upholding our heritage.
