Ian Paisley will continue to preach “for a long time,” despite his imminent retirement from his Free Presbyterian ministry, he has revealed.
In his first interview since announcing his retirement, he said he would like to do some writing, including “some caustic criticism of some”.
The 85-year-old former MP, now Lord Bannside, said he would also continue to carry out “a bit of church work.
He will preach his final sermon in his Martyrs’ Memorial Church at Christmas.
Dr Paisley was speaking after arriving at the annual St Columbanus celebration in Carrickfergus.
“I hope I preach a sermon from the pulpit the night God calls me home to a better land.”
