Ivan Foster
Ivan Foster (born 1943〔W.D. Flackes & S. Elliott, ''Northern Ireland: A Political Directory 1968-1993'', Belfast: Blackstaff Press, 1994, p. 165〕) is a retired senior minister in the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster and a former Democratic Unionist Party politician. He is a lifelong friend and associate of the Democratic Unionist politician and Free Presbyterian Church leader Ian Paisley. But in November 2006, he became the most prominent Free Presbyterian to openly challenge Ian Paisley's decision to enter into a power-sharing government with Sinn Féin and went on to denounce Ian Paisley from the pulpit of his church in January 2007.
==Early life==
Foster was born into an old County Fermanagh Protestant family which had a strong tradition in the Orange Order. Although he had a Pentecostalist uncle Foster's immediate family was not particularly religious and in his youth he had little interest in any sort of Protestantism.〔 Foster found employment with Ulster Television as a trainee film editor and enjoyed a somewhat raucous private life before turning to religion.〔 However once he heard Ian Paisley, whom Foster refers to as "the Big Man", speaking he immediately became a devoted follower of both his religious and political views. Foster promptly entered training for a ministerial life in the Free Presbyterian Church.〔Steve Bruce, ''Paisley: Religion and Politics in Northern Ireland'', Oxford University Press, 2007, p. 177〕
