Actually, whilst I loathed the man for years, it cannot be disregarded that in the end, Dr Paisley overcame enough of his prejudices to emerge as one of the great statesmen of our island. In the end, it took the ultimate hardliners on both sides of the political divide to make the peace, and he deserves to be remembered fondly for making that peace, whatever his beliefs. In my opinion, that's the real truth of Christian charity - finding it in one's heart to abandon long-held "interpretations" of hatred and find the way to peace when all about you want the much easier road of war.
